So Versageek, Lucasbfr, and Kylu have over 80% on the checkuser end.

Luna Santin, Mailer Diablo, and Daniel Case have over 80% for oversight.


Kylu uses the name Jessica Barrett on the toolserver and some mailing lists. He is a member of wikichix. He also has a self-declared sock JBarrett (T-C-L-K-R-D) . He is not a TS or a woman, he only plays one on the internet. His name is Jason H. and he is now a checkuser and will soon be a steward. What name did Kylu use to verify his credentials with Cary Bass?

That's an interesting (though hardly original) idea.

Care to share with us how you found out?

And does this mean Lar is unknowingly chasing....a male in a skirt?

Kylu is a 34 year old guy whose history on the net goes back at least 12 years. I think I may wait until the steward elections (where he is a shoo-in with 203 supports and 7 opposes) are over to spell it all out.

edit:corrected age

Not that bit, evidence that Kylu is really a male pretending to be female.

Jessica Barrett is not a Rabbit … he's just drawn that way.

Jessica Rabbit is … and here's the evidence.

Kylu blocks Proabiviouac, apparently for voting against Bastique in the Steward Elections.

QUOTE(Proabivouac's Talk Page on Meta)
Blocked

Sorry, Proabivouac. I think that at one point in time, you really did come here originally with the intent of making it a better place. Sadly, it's degenerated to the point where your contributions are limited to making personal attacks on folks who are doing their jobs.

You've been told, granted in forums outside of your talkpage, that this is unacceptable. You were blocked on Wikipedia for harassment, and now you continue your vendettas on this project. We can't abide that, I'm afraid.

I understand you're likely to clump me in with the "evil, abusive" folk on here now, but I'd really prefer it if you looked over your own contributions lately first and see if you can determine why your behaviour lately has been both unwarranted and unacceptably intimidating to others.

I'd like to suggest that, instead of working against this project, you consider working to better a different project instead. I understand a number of them look to supplant Wikipedia.

Best of luck,

Oh, I always want to vomit when some asshole admin tells someone to "go away." Kylu must be sharing "girl talk" with AniMate, a new admin who adopted that strategy and is pushing the "go away" routine here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:68.114.218.113

A little bit of both, I suspect. Ironic, considering Kylu's apparent gender confusions. That Proab sure knows how to stick it up 'em.

And regarding that last link, they really REALLY don't want to talk about the Lar issue. Reflects badly on WP, you know. Whether true or false. Rather like Clarence Thomas.

I think Whistle/Parkin' (Anita Hill, is that you?) is immune to blockade/censure due to her lack of a penis, but all the same, they're not going to talk about it.

I believe we need a new award as a counterpoise to the coveted Bolas de oro. Since Proab is community-banned and will stay that way until somebody does something about it, this one is for any admin who wants to unblock him, but doesn't dare.

I prefer wheaties - though the density of grape nuts means you can fit a lot in a bowl without worrying about the milk causing it to overflow. As for flavor - I generally add sugar and peanut butter.

Oppose - per block of Proabivouac. Regardless of the correctness of the block, blocking a user during the steward elections as response to his/her votes in the steward elections while you yourself are a steward candidate is not appropriate. --B 14:07, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

It occurs to me that if a certain someone was to quietly slip away and partake of some hemlock then all would be well again in Wikiland. Birds would sing, lambs would cavort and there would be an absence of "issues" and other nastinesses. Just a thought, you understand.

I hope she survives. If not, she'd have to change her WR sig to "sweet thirty-something and holy jesus I've just been blocked". It's just not the same.

What- blocked for telling the truth? That's not a new thing to happen though, or so some people say.

Lol no that's not as catchy. smile.gif

Anita Hill? I'd have to google that. I think if I've avoided being blocked it's because (fortunately for me) I still am able to make edits to articles on en.wiki. Also that I'm not alone in what I'm saying, though others may not feel able to do so publicly.

However, due to not wanting to be blocked, I shall now attempt to go back to my normal editing and keep quiet about this issue unless someone asks me to support them in some way in future. smile.gif
