I believe this has something to do with the use of Wikipedia (by
GoetheanÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
and one or two others) to
advertise local microbreweries in the Chicagoland area.
There are numerous legitimate reasons to oppose the use of Wikipedia for this purpose, not least of which is that beer consumption contributes to the nationwide obesity epidemic, as well as increases in drunk-driving-related fatalities.
Are microbreweries in other cities/states as well-represented on Wikipedia as the ones Goathead personally frequents in Chicago/Illinois? It appears so: There's a
state-by-state category, and I see that Michigan, Wisconsin, New York, Oregon (that's where
TedderÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
is from), Texas, and Pennsylvania are all far more well-represented than Illinois. (Maybe someone should check Goathead's contribs, though, since he might not be adding the appropriate categories to articles on his personal favorite microbreweries.)
Meanwhile,
Iowa has only one microbrewery in its category,
Millstream Brewing (T-H-L-K-D), located in the
Amana Colonies (T-H-L-K-D).
What a gyp! So, I guess I can't agree that this is something to be seriously concerned about, but to call it something other than "advertising" actually is a bit disingenuous, IMO.
The reason Why I was trying to get the Goathead's fav microbrewery deleted from wikipedia is this: One, I suspected that Goathead got paid to place the Ad (article) on wikipedia. I wanted to be removed, because, TB(Two brothers brewery) is not the only one in the western suburbs and I felt that It was unfair advantage to the other Micro breweries around.
Two, With Goathead in the wik ban box, I thought by missing with the article, with a sock that Goathead easy connect to me, would drive him nuts and to use his socks on the article and it would allow me to try to ID those who were his sock accounts or meat puppet accounts (goathead buddies) With this I had ID'd
Tim SongÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
,
MilowentÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
and
TedderÂ
(T-C-L-K-R-D)
as friends or Socks of Goathead.
Three, The way Mr Tim Tim Song wiped clean and redacted a legitimate wp deletion process based on published WP Policy, not based on rule of law of governance, it was done, based on the Tingly dick (sorry duck) of Mr TIM (I'M a NUT) Song. This shows again there is no governance on Wikipedia, in fact is just unilateral actions by god like admin, with out control, moderation or answerable to an earthly authority.
I have been watching Goathead, as he was turned loss on wikipedia again from his 1 week ban and he's at it again on his fav new age dribble. Since the others, who Goathead is now locked in battle, it will not be long he gets in a edit war and causes himself to be banned for a much longer time. I watch now with delight.
