May I just ask a question to you WRers: Is there a legitimate reason for posting personal information that has no relevance to their editing about WP users?

Editors on the subject of Star War films are generally not going to attract attention here. They may from time to time get mocked but I'd be surprised if any one is going to see any reason to dig up information about them.

Welcome, Newfriend! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

There is probably no legitimate reason to post personal information of people who only read, but there might be some reasons to post personal information of people who edit irresponsibly! For example when someone writes false things about a real person in a page at Wikipedia, and then the false information stays there for months, and gets picked up by the press!

Paolo, is there a legitimate reason for taking an image from Amie Miriello's MySpace page, uploading it to Commons claiming it is your own work, placing it on your user page, and putting a caption under it claiming it is "Me and my girlfriend"?

I have apologised, and I know that I made a mistake. I promise that I will return to WP as a constructive editor. This is in no way pertinent to the topic we're discussing, DC.

Proving someone is using someone ELSE's personal information and pretending to be them is not quite the same, you have a nerve...

If a curious checkuser were to look at your account, and I think they should under the circumstances, what would they find, Paolo? If someone were to contact the Paolo Napolitano who lives in Oslo, would they be pleasantly surprised to learn that they aren't the only Paolo Napolitano there or would they think that you were using their name for your own purposes?

The person you linked to does not live in Oslo. My first name is Paolo, Napolitano is not my last name. And in what way is my real-life identity pertinent in the case we're discussing? I want you to reply before I answer any other questions.

It would be even better if you didn't come back as a constructive editor! Or even better yet, not come back at all, newfriend! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

meh. Is it possible you're as dumb as you act?

Within two days of 'Paolo's first edit you're using TW and weighing in on Village pump (policy) and talk:Arbitration Committee. Kindly list your other accounts, Paolo. Thanks.

I started reading Wikipedia and learning what went on behind the scenes a long time ago. As a part of that, I discovered Twinkle, VP and ArbCom.

Does anyone know which ArbCom candidate is being referenced in the above diff's? I doubt that Fluttershy and PaoloNapolitano are the same person.

I have only used IRC one or two times, and I don't think I've ever interacted with Fluttershy. He is either talking about another user or this is a blatant lie.

I never suspected you. I didn't even accuse you of being that ArbCom candidate in my comment. Your candidacy only lasted six hours:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=460333543

That's why I left messages concerning Fluttershy's statement on the talk page of every unsuccessful ArbCom candidate except yours:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=476449434

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=477036077

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=476947088

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=477206389

Perhaps I should have said, "Also, I doubt..." instead. Sorry for the confusion.
