lovely.

he literally shows his ass on WP

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:David_Shankbone

Does WP really want the kiddies to see this sort of thing? And when did WP turn into "mygayspace".

Not that there's anything wrong with that in the right setting, but not on WP, its not supposed to be a socialnetworking site for any sort of orienatations ;-)

How is this "contributing to an encyclopedia"? And why has Ryulong (well, RU, David might be quite long, perhaps if you check this he might show you) not put the hammer of the wikideletionsavingkb's gods upon this:
User:DavidShankBone/BodyParts

Next item for consideration:

Have these "2" users ever voted on the same issue, or tag-team edited the same article?

I'm not sure about that- the edits don't seem to coincide particularly. But as DL said he doesn't seem to have edited anything on Law or Finance so he may have separate accounts for the purpose.

There are NO Shankbones in Whitepages .

I'm sorry, but I suggested that someone else go look. I haven't looked. But if I did, that's what I'd look for. And do it fast, so as to avoid the usual WR-related WP-alteration

Shankbone is zeroa (shankbone), one of the components of the seder plate.

There's plenty about David Shankbone in Google, including New York city social networking things. Besides, if he's going to Israel and has his name in the media, it's probably his name.

No one lists in the white pages anymore. Esp. if you are a semi-public figure or female.

Lots of people don't even have fixed lines anymore - just a cell, which wouldn't show up in the white pages either.

This observation seems to have gone by unnoticed, so let me elaborate.

On the Jewish holiday of Passover (Feast of the Paschal Lamb), there is a symbolic food symbolizing each part of the Passover Story. The Paschal Lamb is symbolized by a shankbone on the Seder Plate.

This is one of the few places in culture where the term 'shankbone' has any symbolic meaning.

there is neither here nor there, but per antisocialmedia.net sleuthing, weiss used to go by "pascallamb" or "pascalamb" for an aol account on "usenet".

So did Shankbone adopt this surname as a meatspace name as well? If there's no record of it ever being used a real-world surname, it wouldn't be the first case of a flamboyant self-promoter taking on a stage name in the real world.

and what makes one a "leading" wikipedia editor? self declaration?

What a bizarre coincidence. Both he and Weiss seem to have a connection to Fordham University. I can't find any record of a David Shankbone being linked to anything before he created his Wikipedia account in 2006.

weiss has no connection with fordham whatsoever. that was part of his essjay attempt to try and pretend he is something he's not in order to gain higher ground of neutrality or expertise in controversial matters.

he was trying to appear neutral on judaical topics on wp by posing as a catholic. he ain't. he's also not in/from New Mexico as his Lastexit "alternate account" claims either.
