QUOTE They could be bluffing, or this could be a Joe Job. Unless there is technical evidence connecting a functionary to sock puppets, I don't think there's much to go on. Jehochman Talk 22:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC) Nichalp's name is not well hidden, it = Nicholas A. He's currently attending university in Australia, and previously graduated from Mumbai University. Nicholas A feedback at Elance. http://www.elance.com/jobs/16984786/stereo...&job_tier=11188 "As discussed, Wiki page on Stereofame.com." wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zithan/sandbox3 Nicholas A feedback at Elance. http://www.elance.com/jobs/16933583/wikipe...&job_tier=11188 "We would like a quote to create a wikipedia article about our CEO Brad Sugars" wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&action=history A Joe Job, Jehochman? Why don't you ask him? Then you can carry on with deleting Zithan's user space and pretend nothing's happened. |

QUOTE(tarantino @ Tue 9th June 2009, 8:07pm)  A Joe Job, Jehochman? Why don't you ask him? Then you can carry on with deleting Zithan's user space and pretend nothing's happened. Might as well add this BLP article to the mix. He's the founder of Stereofame.com, which is the company that Zithan was paid to write a Wikipedia article about. Zithan made this article, too. QUOTE(MBisanz @ Tue 9th June 2009, 11:38pm) We can agree that an article like Arch Coal isn't POV-pushing, biased, etc, despite the commercial intent in its creation. I have said this about 20 times before, in various places including WR. The Arch Coal article had no commercial intent. No money exchanged hands. Arch Coal was unaware that I had even written the article. The funny thing is that Jimmy Wales and nearly all of his Wikipediot sycophants simply assumed it was paid content. Lots of things are assumed about paid editing. That doesn't make these assumptions facts, though. QUOTE(MBisanz @ Tue 9th June 2009, 11:38pm) But let's say Wikipedia Review kicked off and became highly successful. And Greg was able to afford a staff of people to create all the articles people were paying for. And then someone AFD' one of these articles. If Greg's staff all showed up at the AFD (since presumably they would all be experienced editors by this point), people would call "shenanigans" the same way they did in Scientology, Prem Rawat, CAMERA, etc. I suppose the fear of many people is that by permitting paid editing, it opens the door to paid cabaling on topics. What? On the encyclopedia "anyone can edit"? Where reality is determined by a not-a-vote majority reaching consensus? So, you object to the the rules of your encyclopedia only when you find that a majority that disagrees with you has suddenly gained control of your precious "consensus"? QUOTE(MBisanz @ Tue 9th June 2009, 11:38pm) Greg, any thoughts? How do you maintain the idea of an NPOV, balanced, article... My thought is that you need more thought about the idea of NPOV in a document anyone can edit. |
