Not many editors have their own autobiography, Benji is perhaps the only one to have two. His DJ Pusspuss persona is a self-described American club, mobile and event DJ, music reviewer, activist and event producer. While Sister Kitty Catalyst O.C.P., is a self-described uber-nun and homo-propagandist. He is also mostly responsible for Sisters_of_Perpetual_Indulgence (T-H-L-K-D), a non-profit organization he works for, and the bios of several of his fellow nuns. Concerns about an undisclosed conflict of interest and unlabeled autobiographies have been brought up a couple of times on wiki before, in 2007 and 2008. They were brushed aside by Benji and a small group of his enablers. There is very little doubt it is all true though. (thanks to an anonymous tipster)

No and yes. Someone will bring it up onwiki eventually, because everyone who's anyone there reads WR. Edit: Here's a statement from Sister Iona Dubble-Wyde: QUOTE Benjiboi has made 226 of the 694 non-bot edits to the article.This post has been edited by tarantino:

I got the same tip but I don't have time to personally investigate. Maybe One or SirFozzie or FT2 has time on his hands. QUOTE(Alison @ Sat 5th September 2009, 4:22am) Alison wins the kewpie doll!

Are they the same person? Benjiboi wrote the entire article about "DJ Pusspuss". And here it says they are the same person "DJ Puss Puss is also Sister Kitty Catalyst of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence." http://www.mail-archive.com/squidlist@list...g/msg03608.htmlBut DJ Pusspuss is clearly mid-twenties, whereas sister kitty is older. Her biography says that s/he "came to San Francisco via the London Order that I had joined (1991-92)" which means age about late thirties http://www.thesisters.org/bios/kitty.htmlHowever her email is "pusspuss at gotblow dot org". Now http://www.gotblow.org/ is "a grassroots campaign using a safety whistle as a symbol to confront hate crimes", which sister kitty co-founded per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sister_Kitty_Catalyst_O.C.P.. .

All is explained. QUOTE Week keep. Since I last went through and added sources I have been unable to find the radio interviews that were online previously. I'll leave it for others to decide if this meets GNG with what we have. With Fences and windows' excellent detective work seems they co-founded several organizations. There were several two-hour interviews that certainly were independent although they were hardly hard news. They were, BTW, with the same person being used to source the connection but nothing in the interviews addressed any connection or identity besides the DJ one but was helpful to add in some biographical and early life content. Despite Fences and windows' excellent detective work I don't see any sourcing to back up a merge. There is only one unreliable source - an entry on livejournal.com no less - making the assertion but looking through their other entries they seem to make mistakes. There is also the possibility we have two people sharing one email account and by extension, likely live together and work on projects together. -- Banjeboi 21:32, 5 September 2009 (UTC) [edit] And indeed the Land Surveyor has been blocked. QUOTE Blocked You know the rules and so do I. Brandon (talk) 20:32, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
The rules, as far as I am concerned, are that abuse of accounts is wrong. Here we have a case of a person writing not one, but two articles about themselves. You notice I was discreet enough not to point out the identity on the AfD page.
