I have been to many Wikipedia review sites now, and am less than enthused with the endless ball-lessness and lukewarm debate over the ethics over ending Wikipedia Administrative Anonymity. Out of respect for the rules of Wikipedia Review, I am not posting the names here, but I will give you the link to my first dedicated Information Bomb against Wikipedia. It is now my official mission to ruin Anonymity on Wikipedia. If anyone has anything useful to contribute, consider yourselves invited to contact me. I am currently only impressed by the work of Daniel Brandt and Judd Bagley, and observe that the various forums "critical" of Wikipedia are excessively staffed by Wikipedia Admins, as evidenced by their blistering wails (Wales?) whenever solid information comes out. To whatever end, I now offer you the new WIKIPEDIA USER DATABASE at Haters Magazine http://www.contextflexed.com/storywikipediaexposed.html

QUOTE(Peter Damian @ Tue 1st April 2008, 11:47am) QUOTE(FLIPSIDE @ Tue 1st April 2008, 5:03pm) Interesting but FT2 is certainly not Ian Limbach. Limbach is based in Europe, FT2 is not. FT2 is full-time NLP trainer and not journalist. Thanks! I will modify the known to be less accurate portion list to be more accurate based on these types of notices.

Comment about this line: QUOTE ^demon / Danny = Danny Wool (FL) dannyisme@gmail.com http://veropedia.com St.Petersburg, Florida, USA I'm not sure what you are trying to say there, but ^demon is not Danny Wool. ^demon does not hide his real name, to my knowledge. My initial thought is that this list is overkill. How long did this take from the start until now?

Yes. I will fix all small tweaks like that after a brief feedback collection period, and recheck any glaring misattributions.

QUOTE(LessHorrid vanU @ Tue 1st April 2008, 4:23pm) Sometimes - and this actually a serious point, with regard to some peoples possible desire to be (sort of) recognised - I wish I were a little more furtive about my identity, just so I could be put up on these lists as a "person of mystery". However, I can't be arsed.
Hey, Flipside, if Wikipedia "relative estrangement from the facts" bothers you - don't ever subscribe to one of those dating sites. You might explode.
LOL (Can I say that?)

Lol! I don't think I'd really like to be outed. It happened to me on another site, just because a family friend fell out with me and started broadcasting my name everywhere. She'd done so a bit anyway just because she was quite a newbie to the internets and so not as cautious. QUOTE Hey, Flipside, if Wikipedia "relative estrangement from the facts" bothers you - don't ever subscribe to one of those dating sites. You might explode.
Lol! How about 'friends reunited' or whatever similar sites? I've known quite a few people embroider their lives so they sound more impressive than they really are, on there.

(IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) And the bit, "helped kill Amorrow's account then Fake Retired" is completely bogus given, 1) Amorrow was banned before I was even sysop and 2) I never "fake retired" as I'd remained editing (and quite enjoying it) when I handed up my sysop and c/u bits. I'd intended to stay gone but got Hiveminded anyways (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif) Oh and the me 'n' Foz cabal? lol! (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/biggrin.gif)

She didn't retire, she resigned her sysop and checkuser powers, and still remained an editor. Guy Chapman fake retired I think twice, then he came back both times to be an asshole and go off in insane rants about trolls and such. This post has been edited by bluevictim:

Check the timeline. Brandt made the threat re. Fozzie. I went to meta and handed up the bits. I was later requested to complete 1 c/u request, as I'd most experience on the matter. Once the bit was reset, Mr. Brandt read the act as duplicity whereupon he did the Hivemind thing anyway. At that point, cats were out of bags and bets were off, etc, etc. Now that info is being used far and wide by a number of people, one of whom (one Andrew William Morrow) has even gone to the trouble of personally thanking Mr. Brandt for his actions. And on it goes ... I'm still here, both on WR and WP. Go figure (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) This post has been edited by Alison:

You implied you were leaving wikipedia (I think you said 'come on guys, let me go!' or something) in response to brandt's threat to put you up there. Not that I blame you necessarily (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) Then you said on here you were only back/stiill there for short-term, specific tasks. I hope you don't leave anyway. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) And you and Foz- you can't deny you seem to have a close friendship here. It's not like saying the 'alison and brandt cabal' or something (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

Not that I blame you necessarily (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) Well, I went back to being an avid editor again in the while I was de-opped. Started going over pharma/med articles and the Irish Maritime project stuff. Twas fun (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) Someone said at the time, Oh wait, I thought you were leaving for good, LOL. Never mind.QUOTE(wikiwhistle @ Tue 1st April 2008, 3:56pm) Then you said on here you were only back/stiill there for short-term, specific tasks. I hope you don't leave anyway. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) Thanks! (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) The "back for the specific task" concerned one final c/u job (relating to Amorrow. Surprise!) and this caused the confusion. It was only ever meant to be back on for minutes but ended up being on overnight because of time differences and stuff (right, Lar?). QUOTE(wikiwhistle @ Tue 1st April 2008, 3:56pm) And you and Foz- you can't deny you seem to have a close friendship here. It's not like saying the 'alison and brandt cabal' or something (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) Yeah, we're good pals (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) That's true ....
