User:Chase me ladies, I'm the cavalry, Another member of the military moonlights as an admin and makes a fool Options

[Heat]

User:Chase_me_ladies,_I'm_the_Cavalry is a member of "The Armed Forces of the Crown" (ie the Royal Navy) and a wikipedia admin on OTRS duty. He seems to have cocked this one up by taking at 100% face value an OTRS complaint by professional conspiracy theorist Isreal Shamir that User:RolandR was using Wikipedia to try to get him assassinated. Can you really enforce BLP by libelling an editor?

It’s rather sad. His Linked In page has his current job as “English Wikipedia Arbitrator at Wikipedia”. The ‘company website’ links to his user page on Wikipedia.

He is a reservist in the Royal Naval Reserve. This is a voluntary organisation that supports the Royal Navy. Volunteers are only paid (about £40 a day) when they go on training.

What LinkedIn page? There is no LinkedIn profile page and I'm sure there never was. Although when I was researching semen reservists on Google, I accidentally came across this cached page of a LinkedIn profile of someone with the same name.

Semen Reservist, I like that. Is that some kind of Taoist sex practise? Yeah, I had this guy arrogantly and erroneously twat all over me but he sure wasn't holding back on the juices.

This has all the making of a good cartoon, I would say. Keep it up Richard (... all night if you can). Hmmn, arbcom member falsifying status and then erasing evidence, girlfriend keeping him to play 8 hours a day on the Wikipedia? I would have thought there were more worthy causes to do ... like cooking, washing & housework. On what grounds does he establish his superiority to make judgements on others?

It is funny how these types, when busted, start whimpering on about "security risks" and "fear of attacks" to distract from their own malfeasance. It is like a pantomime get out, "no, no, it's not me, I'm not the bad guy, it's them ... look over there ... (exeunt stage left quickly)" Does his CO follow the Wikipedia too? Does a man in uniform constitute a security risk?

And looking at the Webcite, pray tell me what level of Wikipedia is an "+editocunt" (Revision as of 01:09, 27 August 2008)? Over to you Dr Freud.

Oh, look, he is an expert in Orthomolecular Medicine too.

Dear Sir I am new to wiki and did not know how to add a comment. So I am adding my note here. I noticed that you have deleted my page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthomolecula...icine_for_India I am a qualified MD with a Post Graduation in Acupuncture from Harvard. I have given authentic, research based references along with links in my article.

I wonder if Dr Vaman knows he is being judged by an unemployed geek, living off his girlfriend, faking his credentials and then hiding it?

Funnily enough, Dr Vaman has not deleted his Linkedin page

Nah, fuck him. Does anyone have a high resolution photo of him with next to that decrepit phallic object?

I believe you are referring to me either defending Chase (if I am?) or attacking other Arbs.

Neither really, it was a joke. You asked "How do we know that some of these people doing it aren't prominent wikimedians just doing it all for political gain? " I wondered if you were the prominent Wikipedian defending a member of Arbcom for political gain. Just a joke, you understand. No need to reply.

I see. But I think the rest of my statement covered the possibility (not the "joke" part).

If I wanted to suck up to Arbs, I would have 1. made statements before they practically denied my ban appeal, 2. wouldn't have gone after John Vandenberg over the Poetlister mess, 3. probably wouldn't edit anywhere.

I still think you have a better chance of passing an appeal. Have you tried one lately? I'm sure you will be unbanned by a good 3-4 years before me.

No. Harvard Medical School, ever ready to take anybody's money for anything, apparently teaches a continuing medical education course in acupuncture, aimed at physicians (people who have graduated medical school and internship), as a 9 month part-time postgraduate course (Oct. 2009-June 2010). They may not be too careful about who they let in, or else they didn't check the credentials of this J.N. Vaman dude, who doesn't really have any credentials as a physician that anybody in the West would recognize.

His "MD in acupuncture" is claimed by him as result of 1) an 11 month hospital residency (Sir Anton Jayasuriya Charitable Hospital No. 08) in Sri Lanka, May 2009-April 2010 and has nothing to do with Harvard. Nor anything to do with M.D. degrees in other parts of the world. Apparently the internship and residency are done all at once, in less than a year. A great timesaver for doctors on the go, and I suppose very possible, as there aren't too many middle of the night emergencies in acupuncture (so forget your romantic doctor visions of rushing down the hall with a breathless nurse to do acupuncture CPR).

In another CV, Vaman says that 2) his MD degree is actually from Medicina Alternativa University, Sri Lanka (Acupuncture, 2004 — 2010). http://in.linkedin.com/in/drvaman

Strangely, the Medicina Alternativa U. got left out of the other CV, in which (if you don't read carefully) it looks like the man attended medical school at Harvard medical school, and got his MD from there. The post grad program there, is put in where the "medical school" bit should go (before internship and residency), and the actual MD-conferring school is left out entirely. Cute. Apparently it is this school:

http://www.aihm.wa.edu.au/research-9.htm

A bunch of holistic types get together in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and call each other "doctor." After some period of time, they start to believe it. Then, they give each other M.D. degrees in acupuncture (shades of the Wizard of Oz) and off they go around the world.

Vaman, who practices in India, has chutzpah. If one is to believe Vaman's C.V., 6 months after starting his Sri Lankan hospital internship/residency in acupuncture, Vaman managed to be accepted in Oct. 2009 into the Harvard "postgraduate course" aimed at real M.D.s. Wups. He wasn't even through with his internship/residency in Sri Lanka, yet (again it appears not a very demanding one, timewise). In fact, his C.V. makes it clear that from Oct. 2009 to April 2010, he was enrolled BOTH in this Sri Lankan acupuncture hospital internship/residency AND the Harvard postgrad program (in Boston) that was supposed to be for people who already have M.D.s. One supposes he flew back and forth.

Go get him, Chase Me. Vaman hasn't written an explanatory letter to WR, and therefore he's fair game.
