Missing Wikipedians biggrin.gif WTF yecch.gif

I just discovered this page: Missing Wikipedians. What a bloody laugh, but there's some goods stuff in there. How many of those missing twats can you identify with new accounts? I've spotted one "missing" admin who's still beavering away on one of my specialist areas. I found him out quite by accident.

Anyone care to suggest some reincarnations? I'm keeping stum about my find 'cos he isn't using his new account as a sock (I would!)

I have as much free time as a Wikipedia admin!

Of course, Wikipedia is not a memorial. However, the notion of adhering to policy is, on its own terms, rather quaint. dry.gif

Survived 2 AfDs so far, 2007's was mostly "NEVER 4GET" matchstick-waving puffery, while 2009's was "i like it".

Maybe it'd fare better in 2011's (relatively) more common-sense approach to deletion.

Zleitzen was done wrong. Only the bad editors stay.
