David Shankbone has accused journalist Seth Finkelstein of having a conflict of interest in reporting on Wikipedia and Jimbo Wales. According to Shankbone, Seth has a negative bias towards Wikipedia. Shankbone is even planning on contacting other journalists to report Seth's "conflict of interest."

Shankbone's gone to new lows.

Mods, can we please have a David Shankbone subsection of the Notable Editors section? He's not going away. He's a permanent scar on the landscape.

This isn't the only time Shankbone has gone after reporters. In addition to his sleazy behavior with the Fox anchor, he's offered a $200 reward on his blog for people to bother another Fox reporter who does "gotcha"-style interviews for The O'Reilly Factor. It's in his blog. I won't link to it.

The miasma spreads.

From what I saw of it, Shankbone is essentially calling Finkelstien biased. That's not a conflict of interest. It's got nothing to do with COI.

The rule of thumb has been that there need to be five or more threads about him. I'll go take a quick pass at counting them .... and, yes, I found five in Editors. I'll get on it, but probably not today.

I see SEVEN threads under Editors with Shankbone in the title, not counting the present one:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

If it helps, you'll find a lot more in other subforums:

Wikipedia in Blogland
1 2 3

General, News
1 2

Plus four more in the tarpit and WRR areas.

Yep, he's notable enough by now. He also needs an article in ED. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

You're a bad excuse for a Jew, Mr. Miller. How does it feel, this Passover week, to violate the
spirit of the Haggadah teachings, by trying to punish people unjustly?

You are a z'roa.

(Yeah, I know he's not Jewish. But he consorts with so many Jews, I just had to confront him about his hypocrisy. Why aren't any of his pro-Israel friends, on and off WP, talking to him about this?)

Most of the David Millers I know actually are Jewish. How'd we find out Shank's ethnicity?
