JzG: Wikipedia Review superfan Options

[Herschelkrustofsky]

JzG delivers a tour d'horizon of all our latest threads, for the benefit of the ArbCom. Then Charles Matthews restates it.

you call them attacks, I call them exposures of conflicts of interest that are attacked on WP by those conflicted.

ever read those P. Salinger edits?

Ever been asked "who do you think you are?" like the Mangoe was (and who can know the Mango?)

Ever been called a sockpuppet in an edit summary? Only to have your return question not only blanked by the Queen, but delete/restore oversighted by her Crummy court jester?

Ever seen someone double vote with a sock, then magically get off on some sort of random statute of limitations clause reserved for Friends of Jimmy? (Jimmy, you're starting to remind me of Ricky G. from "The Office").

Ask sparkzilla about how he was outed and "attacked" on WP sometime. Ironically, Slim participated in that with full on bloodlust. As she did in pursuing the identitites of anyone who crossed her wikiwarpath.

Willbeback talks about fending off POV editors. WTF does he think Slim, Jay, and Gary are?

NPOV depends on how far up your virtual friends' asses you are.

Jaranda seem pretty nice. I know it sets him up to be whipsawed between our insistence of the honest and fair use of language and the WPers who doubtlessly watch his every word on this site and insist on a code word meaning of "attack." But Piperdown is right. Inquiring into real life identifying information concerning an influential authority on WP is in no way an "attack."

I call it responding in kind.

I entered Wikipedia on the basis of a promise that it still advertizes, that it would be possible to fix its errors. I operated under my own name and according to the guidelines of good scholarship. I created many articles that were missing and I improved every article that I worked on right up until I encountered impassable obstacles in the attitudes of "editors" whose ignorance of the relevant methods, practices, and subject matters would be evident to anyone who had assimilated even as much education as I acquired in high school, much less college, much less grad school.

I found myself being abused, attacked, and harassed by "editors" who operated under names like Banno, FeloniousMonk, Gwernol, JustZisGuy, KillerChihuahua, and SlimVirgin. The utterance and publication of their outright lies is maintained to this day in the pages and files of Wikipedia.

Who the hell are these people? I have a right to know.
