According to the free encyclopedia, a person named http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Jaynes is notable because he was a "prolific email spammer".
The third edit to the page, in 2004, was this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...2&oldid=7364643 An associate of the person edited under an account http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contr...ns/JeremyJaynes to remove references to unfounded claims, in 2005. Some editors thought he also did something less pleasing than spamming, even. FT2 was there correcting a term (in 2005)... http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...&oldid=23016478 BrentsWikiEditAccount, years later (in 2008), reminds people of these not very legal things, including "horsey porn": http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=249083685 http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=249104590 Livingbiography proceeds to remove the claims: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=249114980 And then long details on convictions, sentences, hearings, trials. The result is that people read about this person described on Wikipedia, which went from "prolific email spammer" to "horsey porn" in 3-4 years, and other stuff, which may be true, may be false, may be partially true and partially false, who knows. The links went from a bunch to just one right now. Another example of a good evolution for a biography! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/laugh.gif) |

QUOTE If there are no moderators around I urge you to blank the post immediately and start a new thread. No, you should urge some admin at the free wiki to delete the non-verifiable facts, and even better, delete the whole page, as internet spammers are not really relevant or important. |
