Hey Linda, you forgot about archive.org!

Certainly if interviewed by the press, anyone who is interviewed should give their real name. I don't think there's anything to be afraid of. This project (Wikipedia Review) is something to be proud of, and your role in this is something to be proud of. You don't have to say your Wikipedia username of course, if you have one that hasn't been banned yet, but that's a different issue. That's to protect against unfair Wikipedia abuse. I just feel reluctant for some reason to use my real name on the internet directly. I used to do it all of the time. But after the Julie incident, I am somewhat reluctant now. I don't want to lose my job and be unemployable for 18 months because someone says that I'm a paedophile after getting my real life details and attaching it to a bunch of totally irrelevant links. And you just never know when there's a whacko around the corner. I'll give my real name to press, but in the general forum I am reluctant to.

You know, if she really is still with the CIA, it isn't without risk. Wikipedia can't harm you - they can only ban you or badmouth you - but the CIA can do a lot to mess up your life. If they want to bother.

Not sure that they would. If she is in the CIA, she's got to be getting a lot of flack for having outted herself so carelessly. And if she is in the CIA, its like the 5th time that someone prominent has figured her out. It would be hard to imagine that her team, or boss, or handlers, would be thrilled at her having outed herself, and would be keen to attack her outers. Killing someone or discrediting them before the internet could silence them. But with the web, words are permanent record, so it is less easy to close things off.

Back in the skeptics corner - If she's not in the CIA, she behaves suspiciously and aggressively enough that many people have accused her of it. She still might not be an agent, you know.

Another clue to her 'not' being an agent is that her website slimvirgin.com was bought by herself. If she was an agent, I think the agency would pay for such a thing. Or she'd use a different login for her undercover work than her personal page, and personal yahoo email.

If she is in the CIA...

SV is not a spy and has never been a spy. She's a bored, intelligent but outspoken person with particular views who has become addicted to a website. Her involvement in certain articles comes from a personal connection in her past. Can we establish this now?

We know who she is thanks to Daniel Brandt's expose some time ago. We've known it for a long time, as it happens. All this additional, wilder speculation is fuelling the WP crowd and is off the mark.

Also keep in mind that though SV has been causing havoc on WP for several years, its no worse than that. And there is also a certain discomfort in using even our most sworn enemy as a scapegoat to undermine a whole structure. People like SV, and Essjay are themselves addicts and victims of Der Jimbo's grand folly. They need rehabilitation more than they deserve humiliation.

Yes, but WP needs to be taken down and this is as good a way to do it as anything else...You still seem to think that this project is still viable: what more proof do you need that it's not only not viable, it's become a menace.

She didn't have to do anything here. She choose to inject her own POV into these articles. As Kelly Martin says, she made her bed and now she's going to have to lay in it...
