Two hours after "aplogizing" on Jimbo's talk page, Jaranda/JBeach56 got her sysop powers back.

WP user page - talk
check - contribs



I only apologized for deleting the article, that's because I acted like a fool, jimbo should apologize as well, even though i doubt he will, i'm avoiding jimbo anyways and I still don't think he's a good leader for the project, he lost his touch with the community and doesn't know ANYTHING what is going on in there.

what good is a "community" when it is rife with sockpuppets? What good is "community" and "consensus" when editing disputes are "settled" when 3 socks of the same person bully another person via "consensus" into the socks' POV on an article? a POV that is shared by a complicit admin who has no problems with the sock shows?

if I hear "community" one more time in regards to what WP's top priorities should be, I'm going to JzG all over my supper

I wonder if anyone has done an experiment to see how many sock puppets that could get away with, and how many articles they could control before being found out?
