Global blocklist request, - shankbone.org in trouble again .... Options

[Alison]

I was just on Meta a few mins ago, renewing my sysop status when I noticed the following being requested at Talk:Spam blacklist;

shankbone.org

Links to this blog are being inserted by David Shankbone, the owner of the blog, to promote it. For every image David uploads to Wikimedia Commons, he adds a link to his blog; in other words, he is a shameless self-promoter who wants to increase the number of visitors to his blog and its PageRank. This should be added to the spam blacklist.

See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...it=500&offset=0
...and this:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?t...ael+Lucas&go=Go (Note that he is also part of an effort to promote pornographer Michael Lucas, who he knows in real life, and his "works".)

It should be interesting to see how this pans out on Meta (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/blink.gif) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/evilgrin.gif)

I believe it's time that I reveal that I use the IP 216.241.55.204 (all posts signed as "J." or "J from Nevada"), Nevadawp, and Nevadawp2. Mr. Miller is absolutely correct, and let me give a simple explanation as to why he knows that.

I posted a comment on one of his blog posts, giving my e-mail address and name. He knows, because he has targeted me with attacks on Encyclopedia Dramatica. He logs in, checks the comments on his posts, and realize that I've commented. He sees my IP. Meanwhile, he was aware of the fact that this IP has edited on Talk:Men of Israel, an complete propaganda piece which he basically owns and protects. He decides to use the fact that I'm "Banned" as an excuse to revert my edits. Which is more harmful: me stating my opinon of an "article", or a pornographer's friend who uploads his "work" to an "encyclopedia" site, and then goes to speak at a school? (Ask the editor-in-chief of EB [not ED] if he would publish a puff piece about a pornographic film that promotes tourism to Israel, written by the director's friend no less)

It is no surprise to me that David Shankbone uses IP info collected by his blog to mete out vengeance on Wikimedia projects. This suspicion was one of the reasons why I advocated on the Meta Wikimedia site for the removal of Shankbone's blog from the Planet Wikimedia aggregator.

This was then later held up to me as a reason why I do not contribute "constructively" to Meta.

Everything about ethical accountability is simply upside-down on Wikimedia projects.
