Nota Bene. Jonny Cache will neither confirm nor deny the existence of any alternate accounts.

So don't bother asking.

Still, I found it Simply Irresistable to Pay It Fwd with this Groovey Wiki-Platter, Dude, a Giddy But Iddy Recording of the Sock Shakedown Party that is re-currently occurring even as we Spike down @ Chuck U Farley's Wiki-Pad. Submitted for the approval of all you Denny-Zen Musters of the Twilight Zone, and offerred as fodder for the commentary of astute observers on the sheer* plausibility of it.

And be sure to check out Raul654's Recursèd Feature Request.

If they go ahead with recursive checkuser, the most likely end result is that they will eventually ban everyone except their elite.

Which, of course, would suit their paranoid delusions perfectly.

Part of the problem is that they don't rely on Checkuser but block people on guilt by association, perceived similarities of style, looking at tea leaves, etc.

YMMV, but I just wish I could get credit for the Frequent Flyer Miles™ that it would take to Wiki-Pimp over this bustle-bustlin stable Chock-Usoriously Stock-Full of Willing Wiki-Phillies, metaphorically speaking, you understand.

Aside from the High Hilarity of the Wiki-Pompous Circumstance that All the Kink's Hobby Horses and All the Kink's Bots would have Jonny Cache jetting the circuit from Allen, Texas to Montréal, Québec to Nürnberg Über Alles jes so's he can edit Wikipedia under a Mötley Crüe of þréšûmèð φûññÿ ñåmêš, we need to settle down and soberly analys/ze what these new data tell us about the Wikiputian Form Øf Gøøbermint (FØG).

But I have to go breathe into a brown paper bag for a while …

Jet-lag, y'know, it gives me the hic-'s

I have saved HTML and MHT versions of that Sock Shakedown Party page, but I've never been able to figure out how to capture a screenshot on my old home machine. Could somebody snap that up before it gets disappeared?

Alt-Print Screen does screenshots (well, on a PC, that is), just dump them into Paint or some other graphics editor.

I've been working on my own tune, Jonny, based on the lyrics of a song from "Jesus Christ Superstar". I call it Banned For All Time. I hope you all know the melody.

QUOTE
Now if I help you, it matters that you see
These sordid kinda things are coming hard to me.
It's taken me some time to work out what to do.
I weighed the whole thing out before I came to you.

I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord.
Just don't say I'm ... banned for all time.

I came because I had to; I'm the one who saw.
Jimbo can't control it like he did before.
And furthermore I know that Jimbo thinks so too.
Jimbo wouldn't mind that I was here with you.

I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord.
Just don't say I'm ... banned for all time.

Seth, you're a friend, a worldly man and wise.
Daniel, my friend, I know you sympathise.
Why are we the prophets? Why are we the ones
Who see the sad solution - know what must be done?

I have no thought at all about my own reward.
I really didn't come here of my own accord.
Just don't say I'm banned for all time.

Cut the protesting, forget the excuses.
We want information. Get up off the floor.

DUROVA

We have the papers we need to arrest him.
You know his movements. We know the law.

Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded.

We just need to know where the admins can find him.

Oh, that doesn't matter, our fundraising is good.

I don't need your bad wiki!

JEHOCHMAN

But you might as well take it. We think that you should.

JIMBO

Think of the things you could do with our wiki,
Pretend to be a charity, co-opt the poor.
We've noted your motives.
We've noted your feelings.
This isn't Foundation money - it's a ...

ELOQUENCE

Plea, nothing...

DUROVA

Plea, nothing...

JIMBO

Plea, nothing more.

On Thursday night you'll find me where you want me.
Far from the crowds, on an anonymous IP.

Recursèdly, reluctantly, and much as it tickles the cockles of my to raise our spirits and voices in a Dot.Community Zing-Along, we must now get back to the more sober side of things, and return to the very serious question of what these recent data tell us about the Mis-Management Of Wikipedia (M-MOW).

At the very least, this SerenDipShit Incident, wherein that WP:Notably NP:Notorious DeadHeadDickiCated WannaBee Recursèd Gang of CyberStalkers incited to Mob Ignorance Of All Rules by the RoboBullyBot e-fectionately known as Raul654321ZippyTheChimpitudeDude has sent out its Wiki-Posse Comitatus of K³ FlyingMonkeyBots to invade the privacy of WhoIsWhomEver They Damn Well Please.

Yeah, I see those two buttons, and I keep pushing them like mad, but it just doesn't seem to do anything — that's what she said — ka–zing !

To the matter at hand —

What can we learn about Wikipediot Institutional Culture — the attitudes, biases, concerns, drives, ethics, and policy in action of Wikipediot Management — from this opportunistically gathered sample of data, testified to by Thing¹ and Thing²?

Answering that question depends on knowing what kinds of Policy we are talking about, for instance, the kinds Policy that are described in organization studies under the following heads:
  1. Advertized or Espoused Policy
  2. Effective or Enacted Policy
  3. Enforced or Enforceable Policy

Cutting a bit closer to the chase — we can always flash back to the Disquisition In Progress at a later date — let's see if everyone is clear about 1 or 2 choice points.

For example —

I think that one thing is pretty clear — If it had been members of The Wikipedia Review who had published a drag.net dossier of the order that Raul, Ryulong, and Company yesterday published on that Wikipedia Checkuser Page, then The Wikipedia Review would now as one body stand accused of the most censorious cyberstalking and the most heinous harassment of Wikipedia users. Indeed, we have stood so accused of worse than that for doing far less than they themselves constantly do.

Gee, how hypocritical of 'em, you say …

All of which simply goes to illustrate a general conclusion — Wikipediot Adminions are far worse harassers of their users, far worse violators of their own users' privacy and well-being than all other internet forces put together.

BAD SITE, BAD SITE,
WHATCHA GONNA DO !?
WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN WE COME FOR YOU !?
