Relata refero. I'm not sure why s/he gets a pass on policy pages.

Obviously a friend of Jayjg, if not Jayjg himself:

His POV is that nobody can be labelled as Jewish, however good the sources. His bit about self-identification is of course nonsense, since American Jews is an ethnic category.

Welcome guests cool.gif Actually Guy looking at the edits I'm sure it's not Jay, but obviously is a sp.

"Believe me, I have been aware of BLP since it was drafted last year and aware of categorisation requirements before that. What you seem to be unaware of is [[WP:AGF|another core policy on Wikipedia]]. I have had ample experience editing in areas where nationalist editors choose to presume that everyone else is biased or discriminating against them, which is why I normally edit as an anon IP; the cynicism born of that experience is why I am not in a towering rage or calling for you to be somehow censured for your incivility. However, I would recommend you in future do not make assumptions about people's motives based on very incomplete information, as you did in this case; and, even if you do, you had better not ask extremely rude leading questions based on those assumptions, or you will wind up at AN/I, where I will certainly not speak for you."

Looks quite likely with the similar interest in South Asian and British subjects. Hornplease stopped editing on 27th Sept, Relata started at the beginning of October. It looks as if Hornplease had a little bit of a falling out with the famous Mr Hicks

He seems to not want to talk about it, but says a little more here.

"As mentioned to this user before, the point of a new account is to leave old accounts behind; I would still edit as an IP if it hadn't become fashionable to assume that IPs have nothing good to say, or are all sockpuppets of some disruptive editor. (Given that I wish to leave old accounts behind, I try to avoid discussing the truth or falsity of various guesses; however, to try and silence this persistent editor who is clearly not quite as good as going through contribution histories as he thinks he is, I draw his attention to this edit, which rather conclusively demonstrates my location. I invite him to compare it to what is known about the other account he mentions."

Obfuscate much?

Hornplease is undoubtedly a "there can't be anyone notable who's really Jewish" fanatic.

The issue seems daft. The Nobel Prize for Economics was split between three people this year. I am informed that all three are practising Jews. Even if people have suggested that they may have other affiliations, that scarcely justified falsely claiming that they aren't Jews.

This is just too rich. Crum's edit summary warning to not remove others' comments....while his/her edit removes someone else's comment.

Team Slim does not have all of its oars in the water.

I can only assume that was a mistake, and he reverted an intervening edit that he didnt meant to when he reverted to his own version, meaning only to re-add his comment.

Actually he seems to have strong opinions on all such categories, not just Jewish ones. Not such an uncommon view, actually.

Crum375 seems to be an expert on aircraft accidents and "incidents". I wonder if he was in contact with Ms Mack right back in the Lockerbie days?
