WR doesn't seem like a MMORPG. That comment was about WP, not WR...

Well, then I'm blocked/banned whatever. After thinking over it for some time, I've decided to leave WP once and for all. Funnily enough, none of the "socks" blocked are mine. I presume they used my work IP, which has a ton of users.

I first came to WP as MikeNicho231 in late dec. 2010. I was then blocked, and decided to concentrate my efforts on nowiki. By the way, I can tell you the truth now that I'm free, "Paolo the Italian" living in Norway was just nonsense. My name is Stian, I'm an ethnic Norwegian. (Sounds less intimidating, hah?)

My second attempt, this time at nowiki, with the account JustEase, was indeffed because I was working behind the scenes and not writing any articles. Nowiki is, BTW like a fraternity who haven't accepted any new admins since 1800andsomething.

I then went back to enwiki and became the infamous Paolo. We all know what happened from there.

My motivations for editing WP? It's a fun thing to do. It's like the intellectual version of WOW. Actually, I haven't played any VGs since registering Paolo.... smile.gif

I just want to say sorry to you WRers, I was a little harsh with you. I'll hang around here, maybe this is a place to stay? smile.gif


That answers my question. Disregard my email then.

Oy, come on, this is bullshit too. Before he was telling Wikipedia people what they want to hear, now he's trying hard to tell Wikipedia Review people what they want to hear ("it's like the intellectual version of WOW" - yeah, that's what the WR criticism of Wikipedia is all about!!!). And he's bad at both. Again - I might not be smart enough to figure out who's sock this is, or what kind of bullshit line (if any) he's playing, but I AM smart enough to know it's bullshit when I see it.

Edit: At some point I considered the possibility that this was some new variation on the Poetlister sock. But... ah, too many differences. And it lacks subtlety. Fucking A' the way you know that Wikipedia is going to shit is that even the trolls/sockpuppets are not what they used to be. I mean, barring the possibility that PL got all subtle and deep and stuff with this one.

Just remember, behind the keyboard is a human being.

*mulls it over*

Okay, I am not quite sure that's reassuring or terrifying.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...chaelJackson231

http://no.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...chaelJackson231

Correction: "MikeNicho231" first came to enwiki as "MichaelJackson231" in July 2010. nowiki's "MichaelJackson231" account was created automatically on the same day. In November 2010, MichaelJackson231 was indefinitely blocked from nowiki due to alleged trolling:

http://no.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...chaelJackson231

A couple of days after being blocked on nowiki, MichaelJackson231 returned to enwiki and had his account renamed to MikeNicho231:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=397281944

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...chaelJackson231

The renaming allowed MichaelJackson231 / MikeNicho231 to automatically create a new nowiki account in December 2010:

http://no.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...%3AMikeNicho231

This failed to deceive the nowiki sysops, and the MikeNicho231 account was indefinitely blocked from nowiki for sockpuppetry:

http://no.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...8&oldid=8051073

http://no.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...%3AMikeNicho231

I thought we'd seen the last of you, both on WP and here.

Kid, you aren't very good at trolling, although your identity games did keep people out of your business for a little while. Not anymore. Your name isn't Stian, and you'll always be Paolo to me anyway.

Welcome to WR, I will try to make your time here enjoyable (but not for you).

MichaelJackson231 isn't blocked yet, so Paolo has a few minutes before one of the nosy admins comes around.
