The Final Word on Gary Weiss and Wikipedia Options

[WordBomb]

It's finally time to publish the long awaited emails, starting with the two that prove beyond all doubt that Gary Weiss was indeed Mantanmoreland all along.

I know that presenting these several months ago would have (possibly) made the whole Mantanmoreland RfAr process a little easier, but for several reasons, I opted against it.

I hope you understand.

(though not relating directly to Wikipedia, many more fascinating Weiss emails will be published soon. Watch this space for more).

I don't want to be a wet blanket, but technically, those e-mails from Gary Weiss never say that he edited Wikipedia. He danced around it, with "You just go into edit mode..." and "I may insert a reference...". But he never expressly said that he edited Wikipedia.

(I'm not an apologist for Weiss, and I consider Judd Bagley a friendly acquaintance, so... you know I'm just pointing it out, that everyone should read carefully.)

then you missed the IP header in the email and the IP editor on WP that day/week.

Yeah, Greg, Piperdown nails it. Mantanmoreland aside, the IP from which Weiss sent those emails (70.23.85.112) was on an edit warring tear the same day.

Because Verizon residential dsl assigns one IP per house, the only other explanation is that it was Gary's pesky live-in uncle Lastexit who was making those edits.

But wait...that would make Gary Mantanmoreland anyway, wouldn't it...
