Last night, I spoke by telephone at some length to Paul Sinclair of Sinclair Associates, the man pictured in this thread…

FT2 was certainly the "Paul Sinclair" of the failed Wikimedia UK, but this man is not FT2. Accordingly, I suggest tarpitting threads in which this innocent man is exposed and criticized in FT2's stead.

Okay, to clear things up: we don't really know the name of the man who is FT2 and called himself "Paul Sinclair" in connection with Wikimedia-UK. That guy could be named Joe Blow, for all we know. But on WP, he's FT2. His use of the name Paul Sinclair is a ruse, and no such real person with that name in London connected with Wikimedia exists.

The other guy really is named Paul Sinclair and is a psychologist who lives in Corsham with office in nearby Bath, who has a private life with all FT2's interests incorporated (fetishism and NLP and life coaching and mediation), and has made and admitted ONE edit to WP as WilkoBilko, in order to get one of his own publications (as Paul Sinclair) into an article on The Big Five Personality Traits. He is the guy we have photos of from his personals site, and states he's NOT FT2, or any kind of Wikipedia wonk, and has only edited that one time. Despite which, his one and only edit to WP is surprisingly competent, consisting of adding a paragraph and a reference in one shot, with only a single space mistake (my error in thinking it was "perfect."). And needless to say, this guy is not connected with the Wikimedia foundation. That's the other guy who is FT2.

Is this your understanding from talking to the Bath/Corsham/psych/fetish guy?

Does anybody have ANY evidence that the UK-Wikimedia guy who is FT2, is really, really named Paul Sinclair?
