Check out the histories of [[User:ZakuSage]] and [[User:RunedChozo]]; notice a pattern?

-Zakusage thinks he owns the PSP article
- He starts harassing RunedChozo
- He starts making harassing "evidence pages" on user spaces
- He files a false "AIV" report on RunedChozo

Result? ZakuSage gets off with nothing, RunedChozo blocked at least a week.

Wikipedia at its finest there folks.

They're very sensitive about the video game articles, actually. This User:ZakuSage guy might have been put up to this incident by one or more of the SlimVirgin bunch, since User:RunedChozo also edits articles about Islam. But most likely, it's just standard operating procedure for some of these die-hard gamer people... All in a day's work, eh!

If you'll recall, back in November there was a big stink over some vandalism to one of the Nintendo articles, which started what might be called a "wikifoodfight" when the Nintendo fans started vandalizing the Sony PS3 articles, and vice-versa, until a bunch of articles finally had to be protected. Some of them stll are under semi-protection, looks like... The news coverage is all in this thread, nicely packaged up by yours truly...! smile.gif

We don't pay much attention to subjects like this, but when you think about it, there's an enormous amount of money involved - people looking for info about which new game system to buy might very well go to Wikipedia thinking it's completely neutral, when it clearly isn't. A few nasty comments, accurate or not, inserted into one of those articles could make a huge difference in the bottom line for a lot of these companies... so it wouldn't be the least bit surprising to find that there's some paid editing going on.

RunedChozo is usually anti-Islamic and took such positions in the recent User Conduct RFCs I brought up. RunedChozo was on the side of SlimVirgin for the most part.

SV controls gaming articles?

Anyone who isn't a muslim and edits Wikipedia on Islamic subjects is by definition, anti-islamic.

Wow, latest "Checkuser" results are in.

The result: Despite the exoneration last time, "Likely" this time. Not confirmed, not denied, "Likely." Which means there isn't shit for evidence and they're just covering it up to protect the abusive Asterion admin and ZakuSage.

At the very least, this "ZakuSage" guy should be blocked for 3RR on RunedChozo's user page. Talk about nastiness and abuse!

ZakuSage almost seems like a walking stereotype for angry kids with too much time and internet access. Hell, the PSP isn't that great, not worth fighting over.
