Time's on our side.
As time goes on more and more of their ranks dwindle away. I figured a place to remind us of the ones we've gotten rid of would be warranted. -Freakofnurture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Freakofnurture |

I don't understand. Going through his recent contributions doesn't turn up any big fight. Maybe he ran into some problems with a secret sockpuppet of his? |

I don't think Crzrussian is a full-blown cabal member, but anyway he's been de-sysopped and gone into semi-retirement under an assumed name.

QUOTE I figured a place to remind us of the ones we've gotten rid of would be warranted. Okay, but perhaps we should make it clear (for anyone reading this thread who isn't familiar with the situation) that we didn't get rid of them... It would be more accurate to state that various circumstances and problems with the website (and its user community) in general led to their getting rid of Wikipedia. Although, of course, most of them do go back sooner or later. Who is User:AudeVivere, by the way? Mr. Freak mentions his (successful) RfA nomination of this user as something for which he'll never forgive himself, along with adding a Welcome template to Everyking's talk page, getting involved in the Esperanza Advisory Board elections, and also RfA-nominating User:Sir_Nicholas_de_Mimsy-Porpington. Also, a recently-adminned user, User:Newyorkbrad, seems to be somehow involved... |

There is something going on that we are missing. This makes me so curious. This post has been edited by anon1234: Tue 23rd January 2007, 5:44pm |

He shouldn't worry about it, it's like a pinprick to someone already covered in battle scars, and I'm quite grateful for his strong support in the RfA. And that's too bad about Alkivar, who I've found to be a good and likeable guy after we had an early altercation over two years ago. Ever since then, including on the RfA just now, which he supported, he needles me about "cruft", but I don't get the impression that he's actually a deletionist. Oh well, I hope he comes back. |

Doc Glasgow has quit, at least for the moment. Quite a nice departing blast.
My vague impression was the Doc was pretty cabalist in his day, but it seems the scales have at least partly fallen from his eyes. This post has been edited by gomi: Wed 28th February 2007, 10:22pm |

The edit history is very confused here. Doc seems to have added a note signed by NewYorkBrad, then edited the NYB signature out of it later. Weird.

 Writing four featured articles made me a danger to the project. Group: Contributors Posts: 272 Joined: Thu 22nd Feb 2007, 5:47pm From: Manchester, NH Member No.: 1,007 WP user page - talk check - contribs |
I admit it - I *hated* Doc with a fire reserved for very few at one point. He slowly became possibly my favorite contributor and certainly one of my favorite admins - very even handed and very clear, even when I disagreed with him.
This is a very poor loss for the project if he stays away any length of time. |

Apparently Malber was blocked for like, a whole week, for "abusive sock puppetry" when CheckUsers were run on some other accounts flagged by User:Netsnipe and User:Future_Perfect_at_Sunrise as having "similar editing patterns." Malber explained the similar IP addresses as being due to the other editors working for the same company and operating behind the same corporate router.
He was one of the leaders of the Delete Brandt Resistance, actually, so that has to count for something...? Anyway, I've removed Malber from the "Trolls" group and cleared his avatar setting, so he's welcome to tell the world what he thinks of Mr. Netsnipe and Mr. Sunrise here, if he so wishes. (Other admins should feel free to reverse this action of mine if I've, you know, done something bad...)  You have to admit, it's a little ironic that we've known his IP address here all along, and even though he was one of the nastier members we've had, it was the Wikipedia people who exposed it, not us! |
