I propose we merely refer to them as 'elonkated.'

Snappy!

That list is a laff-riot. And a good example of WP's misgovernanace.

Look at some of the names on the list.
  1. Elonka...well, you know all about that thing.....
  2. Herostratus, notorious pedophile POV-pusher, is apparently in prison right now for possessing child pornography. Has anyone tried to revoke his adminship?
  3. GlassCobra? What an embarrassment.
  4. Ditto for Friday.
  5. Nishkid64, famous juvenile banhammer.
  6. Plus a number of people I personally find distasteful: Chillum, Bisanz, Tiptoety, NW.
If Wikipedia were not an ugly joke, those freaks
(and probably a few more freaks on the open-to-recall list)
would have already been recalled.

Whatever the the hell this "incident" and his current living arrangements are, he appears in this edit to imply that another person has access to his account.

This is sufficient basis to de-sysop him and block his account until further notice, I think.

And yet, he (or his court-appointed "majordomo") continues to "edit".

What obsession. What bad craziness. laugh.gif

Damn, I wish I hadn't clicked your link, which led in turn to Zichy Mihály rajz.jpg (safe for work - just - although you may get funny looks). Anyone care to explain how the Sum Of All Human Knowledge is improved by that? My apologies for ever doubting anyone who ever mentioned just what a cesspool that place is becoming.

So herostratus has removed that nasty picture. Isnt that a good edit?

Not linked to an article on en.wiki.

Thats because herostratus just removed the link.

On wiki.de it's linked to Kindesmisshandlung which I guess is clear enough. But is that old guy wearing a yarmulke?

Not sure what point youre making but theres nothing odd in a late 19th century East European schoolteacher wearing a skullcap.
