Jayjg opines on Thekohser's hometown, it's about the Jews, of course Options

There you go with the impugning again. First of all, if you will consult our roster, WR only has 4 staff members. Somey says he has never edited WP...

I think he meant to include Poetlister in that count (i.e., "since I've been here," which would include part of the time Poetlister was around).

Herschel's conduct differs from others in a few key respects: he uses and links to the same username he used on Wikipedia, is upfront and sincere about his motivations and interests re Wikipedia's La Rouche related articles, hasn't impersonated anyone (e.g. young women) and hasn't, to my knowledge, lied to the Review's readers.

Well, thanks for all that, but I'd still like to know why you think we should take any of Jayjg's claims at face value.

Meanwhile, the Wikipedia article's section "Geography" states that "Jackson is considered to be part of Central Michigan."

When you click the link to "Central Michigan", you're taken to another Wikipedia page that portrays two different (conflicting) maps of Michigan regions...

One of the maps doesn't even notate a "Central Michigan".

The second map notates "Central Michigan", but Jackson sits about 55 to 60 miles south of the southern border of that rendering of "Central Michigan". Jackson is positioned in an area called "Southern Michigan". (Bonus points if you find the misspelled word in this map.)

"Mount Pleasent", heh.

And not even grammatical …

Good Grief, Greg, It's 2009 —

The thing I keep seeing here is the way that Wikipedia pulls even it's "professional" critics down, down, down into the very wiki-pixelism that they once sought to criticize.

Speaking of grammatical...

This update on the story comes directly from Temple Beth Israel...

Moses is Departing Egypt: A Facebook Haggadah

The Passover Seder, the oldest continuously observed religious ceremony in the world, tells the story of the Jews' Exodus from Egypt. Jewish tradition says that people of each generation must imagine that they personally had departed from Egypt, and the sages say that each generation must tell the story in its own terms.

Yeah, unless you have edited from Jackson I'd have to assume this is a huge coincidence.

But even if he was playing subtle a mind game I'm pretty sure he would have created that article (and made exactly the same edits related to it) sooner or later whether he knew your stomping grounds or not.

But what are you gonna do when somebody writes an article about your piano school...

Nevertheless, Jayjg should be desysopped immediately. That pretty much goes without saying.

Bring down that admin, Mr. Gorbachev!

A pity there is no Mr. Gorbachev on Wikipedia.

I never suggested that Jayjg intentionally zeroed in on the article about Jackson to pester me personally in any way. Indeed, I even pointed out that what brought him there was the pasting of copyrighted content by another editor altogether.

He still should be desysopped, though.
