Someone seems to have created a BLP of [[David Shankbone]]. User Huckandraz formerly seemed mainly interested in New York City artist [[Judy Rifka]].

No comment, just pointing it out.

Well, it was just a matter of time - they've let him get away scot-free with everything else imaginable, so why not that too? In fact, why don't they just rename the site "Bonerpedia" while they're at it? It would be more accurate, at least.

Still, I don't think he belongs on the Fordham Law School Alumni List if he didn't actually graduate, does he?

I don't think you need to be a graduate to be an alum. Alum just means you went there. Could be wrong.

You don't suppose the article will be a magnet for ... drama?

Nah, what am I thinking.

As for "alumnus", I think any institution accepts anyone as alumni who ever went there, even for a day. They want contributions from wherever they can get them.

Admittedly, there are a few definitions on the web that would include "former students," but the vast majority say "graduate."

Anyway, it doesn't matter - it's Wikipedia, so Shankers will get whatever he wants, as usual.

How long before Shankers starts editing the page himself, and turns it into even more of a vanity than it is already?

I think the "Huckandraz" person, who is probably not the Little Rock, AR person to whom huckandraz.com is registered, actually knows him. http://myspace.com/huckandraz is the Myspace page of a 32-year-old woman who, like David Shankbone, is from Brooklyn.

Significant problems as per WP:RS -- too many references from no-no blogs (including one from Michael Lucas and several from Mr. Miller himself). The article would make for a lively AfD -- the case that an amateur photojournalist is notable won't wash with many people.

Funny that the article doesn't mention some of the juicier personal stuff that Mr. Miller freely talks about on his blog -- not the least being his extreme lack of sexual activity (I guess those Michael Lucas poolside parties aren't as amusing as we would like to think).

I like the citation for "his work has appeared in the Encyclopedia Britannica" being a link to - um - a google search, which in turn leads to some self-uploaded photos on their user-editable section. Kind of like posting a comment on the White House blog and claiming to have been quoted by Obama.

I'm not sure that would be "appropriate," but it wouldn't surprise me in any case. After all, why go to all the trouble and expense of fucking men or women, when you can fuck with the future of Western culture any time you want, for free?

Have you ever read his blog? He comes across as a very sad character -- incredibly insecure, with significant family problems (including a lousy relationship with his father that he has detailed in depth) and no focus on what he wants to do with his life. For a man of his age, it's pretty embarrassing stuff. Outside of his Wikipedia snapshots and shilling for the Israeli government, he's never accomplished anything.

Um, hello? He has an article on Wikipedia about him! How many people can say that? You're just jealous because you're not on Wikipedia! Oh. Wait... Never mind.

How do we know he isn't already? I though audacious piss takes were his signature.

Would a newcomer honestly know stuff like, and have the confidence to throw about; abuse of speedy tag - over 10 reliable sources and same again twice?

No way.

(IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wacko.gif) His name is David Miller. He is from Brooklyn. He is gay and a drama queen and likes Fire Island. He blogs and gives us WAAY too much information. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/yecch.gif) He spends his time promoting the cause of Zionism with his gay Jewish entertainment industry friends, one of whom has a Fire Island house (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ermm.gif)

Surprise, David gets away with too much crap on Wikipedia, due to the connections he's made there.

Talk about gilding the lily! This overloads a wiki-abuse stereotype so badly that if I made it all up, you'd accuse me of doing too little work and not using my imagination!

But may I point out to the newbies here, that we've seen this all before. It's not that there's anything particularly evil about any of this stereotype, per se. In many ways, I'm a stereotype of another cut, as are we all. I'm just pissed that one particular mind-set of people gets away with anything they like on Wikipedia, and everybody else stands in line to be kicked.

The bicoastal liberal urbanite metrosexuals have long taken over at Wikipedia. Encouraged by Jimbo, who evidently grew up wanting badly to belong to this cultural class, which he was NOT born into. Which aspiration, we can recognize by his present location and past wine-bills, if nothing else. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif)

As for citizen journalists interviewing sitting heads of state, I think this may have been done before in the past. Shankbone would not be the first to do so.

Who is "Heroic" here interviewing the Premier?

More emphatically, what about Leonardo DiCaprio doing an interview in 2000 with President Clinton?

And let's not forget Lady Cook's interview with President Teddy Roosevelt in 1907.

But, then, I could see the debate centering on what it means to be a "citizen journalist". Is Leo DiCaprio not a citizen journalist because he derives a steady income outside of journalism and never strives to pursue journalistic activities on a regular basis? Do we really mean "amateur" journalism, since every journalist is a "citizen"?

I think this is a silly reason to hang a Wikipedia article's survival in the balance. I once shook hands more than 5 separate times within 5 minutes with former President Jimmy Carter. Do I get a Wikipedia article, or would that not count for anything because Carter was not a "sitting" head of state at the time?

Meanwhile...

Yeah, like that great Carolyn Doran article I frequently read and re-read on Wikipedia.

If by "we" you mean real people, yes. But of course, Shankers would never allow himself to be slurred by being called an "amateur" anything. That would be.... unimpressive! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ohmy.gif)

Also, something tells me this particular article isn't likely to contain a "Criticism of..." section any time soon.

Hey, you are right, loads of it seem to have disappeared without even a trace in the logs, such as, e.g. 'The_making_of_an_adult_film_by_David_Shankbone.jpg' series. The topic is a bit lacking in gay interest, isn't it?

There must have been 'behind the scene' discussion about all those 'scenes of behinds'. The page really needs another dick on it ... glans.

It seems Jimbo had a lot deleted back in January, and covered for Shankbone, when the Pee-dia landed on the Australian Communications and Media Authority blacklist. Sexually explicit images were featuring three men including ... guess who ... Michael Lucas having anal intercourse. Shankbone told Wikinews that he had "no comment for this story." I wonder if our discussion is having yet another a positive effect on the Pee-dia. Matt Barber, a constitutional law attorney and policy director for 'Concerned Women for America' was leaning on the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's office.

You could always upload some for him again from Freebase or elsewhere: here, here or go for the full portraiture of ... male anus. And the pissing goat series is still there. Arguably, on the basis of my recent Wikipedia research, that must include two kinks; zoophilia and urolagnia, and speaking of zoophilia, other of his work might appear under pseudonyms such as I Smell Beaver or Lucas Entertain and god knows what other sock accounts?

If you want a reminder of his best work try the pure genius evidence of ... The Taint. Original version, here.

I guess Jimbo sees it good for him to have the word Pee-dia flaunted around all those picture taken VIPs.

Surely, his greatest notability lies in the homeless woman tampon incident aka "Is my tampon showing?".

Choice images are disappearing off Flickr, davidshankbone.wordpress.com blog has now gone too ... blog was locked from bots.

I dont suppose EricBarbour is an equivalent reliable source?

Slim's now removed that and replaced it with a nice, innocuous pic of Whoopi Goldberg. I think I preferred the S&M one - it's somewhat more representative of his field (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)
