You misunderstand, I think. You asked to be named as the worst Wiki Admin, so Greg was very kindly fulfilling your request. tongue.gif


Ah. Cool. Yay!

Surely this bumptious cunt must be one of the worst admins?

Just look a this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=468570475

And then Cailil's follow up. He's been at this for years now. Simple question, is he an asset to the project?

most corrupt admins? in no particular order:

*Slim Virgin - power hungry and possessive. Control freak.
*Philknight - tyrant and dogmatic.
*EdJohnston - no credibility. Also a dick.
*HJ Mitchell - Incompetent

i can think of a lot of shitty admins that are just terrible at what they do but the worst ones tend be the most active in a leadership capacity or "judicial" capacity (arbitration enforcement, mediation, etc...)

edit: oh, is georgewilliamherbert still an admin? He is a douche.

Well he does have a PhD in "drama" so I suppose he should be good at wiki-drama too.

Certainly true, but somewhat chastened in recent times, and absent from the Wiki for two months. Further, omitting Jayjg (T-C-L-K-R-D) from the list, if Slim is mentioned, omits a big part of the story. Slim is certainly an inveterate pusher of her personal point of view, and has been unsparing in her use of admin tools to ban those opposing her, but her alliance with Jayjg to cross-enforce was the signal accomplishment of her reign. Jayjg's identification to the cabal as a rabid POV zealot has sent Slim into a lower-profile role, and (recently) into a "health-related" hiatus.

Jayjg may not be the currently most offensive admin, but over time and strategically, the tag-team of Jayjg and SlimVirgin must be accounted as one of the worst collaborations of all time, along with Will Beback and ... well, almost everyone.

i dont have any experience with jayjg but i remember getting into a heated edit conflict with SV at palestinian exodus 1948 a year or so ago. may have been two. she was a royal bitch and refused to accept alternate sources for the lead. even slight modifications and she would revert without explanation.

long discussion in talk. went nowhere. definitely sees herself as immune to rules applied to ordinary editors. i imagine this is predicated on her admin rights.

Join the club. The most irritating thing about her is not that she does it, but that it is done so obviously yet she not only sees herself as immune, but generally the admin community holds that position too.

I think wtf.gif is a more fitting expression. See here, where we can see who our young, ill-informed friend considers the best of the best.

pretty much.

no editing experience with jayjg but he does seem to get a lot of hate IMO that is undeserved. unless he is somehow complicit in banning editors he doesn't like?

edit: btw nab, how do you have the time to find these edits? do you keep them in a treasure chest or something? so forgetful in violating easy sanctions yet seem to have an amazing memory for edits made years ago. douche.

Oh, grow up, both of you. Jayjg's a bad admin. So are lots of others. If he was the only one or even the worst, would this site be here?

And to be fair most admins are OK or even sometimes good. Otherwise Wikipedia wouldn't still be there would it?

Define "OK" and "good."

He's asking you what Nab's knob tastes like. The question makes a lot of assumptions, most of which are highly improbable. I'd advise you just ignore it.

nah, asking him if he neglected to log-out in-between posting. inferring tarc is an alias of nableezy, meatpuppet, or twin. they certainly have a lot of common, although nableezy is far better at negotiating price among biased-as-fuck admins.
