Announcing SlimSearch. Search 59,000 of SlimVirgin's edit summaries. "As easy as finding a virgin in a haystack."

This was simple to set up because I merely had to modify the hostmask program slightly. If Slim starts up another sock on Wikipedia, I'll add a search of the 43 User_talk archived pages I have. That will require more effort, so I'm not doing that yet.

Very good. Notice slanders of Mr. Laird Wilcox were REDFLAGGED by myself with SV's response (2005-09-21 19:24 Talk:Chip Berlet (->Laird Wilcox)) poopooing it. Nothing was done. On October 30 2005 another critic of Mr. Berlet was slandered. Both these vicitims of a malicious defamatory smear camapign occured prior to WP:BLP, and WP:REDFLAG.

Nobs01 conducted a breaching experiment, or disruption to mark the point in time how WP was being used systematically to discredit Mr. Berlet's critics. That is the very first principal resolution in Nobs01 case. Nobs01 closing statement, reads "I'll take the bullit on this one. Evidently Wikipedia is better and more improved now (see WP:V#Dubious sources). " WP:BLP & the REDFLAG provision soon followed.

Ironic, however, that the primary author of BLP did nothing when I REDFLAGGED slanders of Wilcox, and proceeded to slander another critic of Mr. Berlet by creating the Danial Brandt page.

Why? If her accounts are abusive they will stand up as abusive by themselves. And there are a billion more abusive users abusing socks every day.

WR's stupid obsession with SV makes me sad.

WP's allowing SV to continue to participate in WP makes me sad. But that's just me I guess. I expect people to follow their own rules and not wield power hypocritically.

Adminship of wikipedia isn't power. How ironic that the people WR is trying to take power from are the people it is giving power to.

If you can ban people wily nilly on WP, you have power on WP. She does have that. She has tried to anonymously change and/or control articles about and directly affecting persons that she has personal grudges/etc with. Salinger and Byrne to start.

Do you want a more extensive list of how she has abused WP? Really? You actually need that at this point? Or do you just follow Jimmy Wales' Today's Version of Ethics That Apply Now?

I agree. I don't think any of us believe that she should be immune from criticism, but the response here has been disproportionate to anything she might have done.

She's still allowed to administer WP. That is disproproportionate to what she has done. Her bans of people for looking at her crisscross-eyed is disproportionate.

Her edits to Salinger alone without revealing that he fired her should have her banned from WP. Why do you think she had Jayjg erase them? Privacy? No. Those edits reveal nothing specific about who made them. Except that they came from someone with a bunny-boiling grudge.

Her double voting with a sock, ditto. 2 years ago, whatever. How many times has it happened since. She was not caught in the interim, so had no incentive to quit. If you think that Sweet Blue Water was her only double vote, and her only sock up until these things started getting exposed, you probably do not have the odds are your bets on that in your favour.

Everyone's sick of it, yes. That doesn't mean it should be allowed to continue.

There has not been a word uttered on WP about Jayjg lately. Funny, huh? Never happened, nothing to see here, move along. Wales' hypocrisy is a joke.

Yes I understand she is a terrible administrator and not good for Wikipedia or the world, but at the same time, I think custom-designing tools to track her and calling her a spy and keeping files on her dogs and probable locations, etc. is overkill for the problem. Really she is just one exceptionally bad cog in a machine that never worked right to begin with.

Well, maybe it does? New information is welcome, rehashing old information is really tiring and is why the idea was mooted to lock these SV threads when they start looking like overkill.

Reviewers, there's a swamp of corruption out there in WP World that needs our attention. SV is only one component. Don thine Deerstalkers and Magnifying glasses and report it where it can be found!

Study this list. It's a redundancy-edited (not erased by Jayjg) composite of edits made by SV with "Sockpuppet" in it.

SV, the double-voting sockpuppeter, doesn't like others who sockpuppet. Or double vote. The current context of this in hilarious - enjoy:

That depends... is there anything new to say? Why rehash the same stuff over and over without any purpose?

The same principle applies to SV, I believe. At a certain point, it just crosses the line into obsession, at which point any valid points are lost on anyone who happens to look into it, because it just looks crazy.

Count me among those who doesn't get all worked up over SlimVirgin and Jayjg.

However, you know how I feel about Jimmy Wales. And when he tells us something like this...

QUOTE
Asking for accountability is fine. You know that I strongly support
transparency and accountability. You are attempting, without much
success, to put a spin on this that no makes no sense at all.

We are having a private discussion by email. This is normal, we do it
all the time. Anything that happens about this will be made clear and
public and transparent.
-- Jimmy Wales (August 27, 2007)


...I expect to hear something "clear and public and transparent" back from him within at least seven weeks. But, it's been over seven weeks, and all we hear are the crickets, chirping their tune of "Jimbo is a deflecting, spineless, lying, manipulator."

The same principle applies to SV, I believe. At a certain point, it just crosses the line into obsession, at which point any valid points are lost on anyone who happens to look into it, because it just looks crazy.


You didn't read what you just quoted. WP, not WR. Not a peep on WP about what Jayjg did. His account is still active. His checkuser/admin tools apear to still be on. No corrective action has been taken that is accountable to the "community".

Not only is that wikicrazy, it's a blatant kick in the nuts to the honest members of that community.

Same goes for Maj. Jay Burns's hotlips, SweetBlueVirginSplash. Colonel Jimbo Blake has been truly gone fishing ever since.

There has not been a word uttered on WP about Jayjg lately. Funny, huh? Never happened, nothing to see here, move along. Wales' hypocrisy is a joke.

That depends... is there anything new to say? Why rehash the same stuff over and over without any purpose?

Count me among those who doesn't get all worked up over SlimVirgin and Jayjg.

However, you know how I feel about Jimmy Wales. And when he tells us something like this...

Asking for accountability is fine. You know that I strongly support
transparency and accountability. You are attempting, without much
success, to put a spin on this that no makes no sense at all.

We are having a private discussion by email. This is normal, we do it
all the time. Anything that happens about this will be made clear and
public and transparent.
-- Jimmy Wales (August 27, 2007)


...I expect to hear something "clear and public and transparent" back from him within at least seven weeks. But, it's been over seven weeks, and all we hear are the crickets, chirping their tune of "Jimbo is a deflecting, spineless, lying, manipulator."

I can guess at his response, when cornered. He has no problem with that. Unless a publication that can give him bad publicity does.

You know, like Ms. Schiff and the New Yorker. Then the ethics change.
