These are all my replies:

I really do find it amusing that even after Jimbo has confessed, still people on Wikipedia are trying to pretend that it wasn't oversighted.

If anyome writes an article on Linda Mack, they'll allege that whoever wrote it is a troll, though it will take considerable ingenuity to justify that!

I just noticed this post to the mailing list:

It's actions like this that make Wikipedia Review a better news source
about what is happening at Wikipedia than Wikipedia itself.

It's very useful too that they link liberally to Wikipedia, so you can
get both sides of the story just by following WR alone.

Wow, we are getting praised on WikiEN-l! Eugene, where are you?

Except that there are a lot of open proxies, it's really easy to open sleeper accounts, and if it's sourced enough, even if it's deleted just the once by some admin it goes right on DRV, and it will get kept if it's sourced correctly and meets their qualifications. I am loathe to the idea of using proxies and sleepers, but for those of us with legitimate accounts that post behind a layer of secrecy here for our own protection...

...bold acts require bold measures, at times.

I still think that the best way to do it is to put things up on our own sites, and then wait until such time as a Wikipedia high up, someone like Linuxbeak or Fred Bauder, decides that it is high time that an article is made. People like that can't get in to trouble for doing it, and right now even they are wavering. David Gerard and Tony Sidaway aren't, but that's more because they like SlimVirgin (or maybe even are attracted to her?)
