== Twinkie defense ==

Hello; I notice you were the administrator who protected ]. I realize that it is well-established practice in an edit war to ]. However, I ask you to please take another look at the history of the article and of the talk page; I think if you do you will realize that Benjiboi's preferred version of the page ''really is'' the "wrong version".

Whenever a Misplaced Pages editor presents false claims as to what a witness testified on the stand in an important trial, that should be cause for great concern. When there is reason to believe that Misplaced Pages editor did so ''knowingly'' -- knew that he was ''inventing'' claims to suit his purposes -- that should be cause for even greater concern. When that Misplaced Pages editor has provided ''false citations'' to ward off detection of his falsification, there can simply be no question: ''it must be dealt with''.

That is exactly what Benjiboi has done and what, so far, he has gotten away with: He took a sentence that had previously appeared in the article (and been removed for irrelevance) and he altered it so that it made new claims about the nature of an expert witness's trial testimony.

The old version:

:Another psychiatrist, George Solomon, testified that White had "exploded" and was "sort of on automatic pilot" at the time of the killings.

Benjiboi's modified version:

:Noted ] and ] ] testified that '''with the effects of the ] diet''' White had "exploded" and was "sort of on ]" at the time of the killings. ''(emphasis added to show significant change)''

Benjiboi's alterations stand in direct contradiction to what our RSes on the subject say:

# Only one defense witness said anything about White's junk food consumption, and it was Martin Blinder, not George Solomon;
# What Blinder testified about the junk food was primarily that it was primarily a ''symptom of'' White's depression (one of ''several'') rather than playing any sort of causative role;
# What little Blinder ''did say'' about the junk food said that it could ''exacerbate'' an existing depression -- not that it could make you "explode" or put you on "automatic pilot".

Benjiboi's alterations have therefore invented ''new testimony'' and falsely inserted it into the mouth of a witness who didn't say it. Unless, of course, he has a ''reliable source'' that actually supports the idea that George Solomon attributed White's actions to the "effects of the junk food diet". Does he?

No, he does not. Here are the two "citations" Benjiboi provided for his new claims:

* {{cite web | last =Temoshok | first =Lydia R. | coauthors =Gail Ironson | title=George F. Solomon, MD Psychoneuroimmunology Pioneer | publisher=] | date=Fall 2001, Vol 12, No. 3 (PDF part 1) | url=http://www.psychosomatic.org/media_ctr/media_newsletter.htm | accessdate=2007-08-10}}
*{{cite web | last=Gazis-Sax | first=Joel | title=The Martyrdom of Mayor George Moscone | publisher=Tales From Colma | date=1996 | url=http://www.notfrisco.com/colmatales/moscone/mosc3.html | accessdate=2007-08-10}}

The second of these citations is a website that gets just 250 Google hits. It appears to be a personal website; it shows no signs of being an RS. However, this is secondary to the more important issue: Both citations mention that George Solomon testified at the trial of Dan White. ''Neither citation supports Benjiboi's inserted claim that George Solomon put forth the Twinkie defense to the jury.'' If Benjiboi had an actual RS that supported that claim, he would certainly have produced it. Instead, he invented the claim out of whole cloth and inserted it into the text with two citations ''that he knew'' did not support the claim.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. It shows that the rest of Benjiboi's behavior is deliberate, not accidental. If another editor continually added material to ] that was relevant to the trial in which the first "Twinkie defense" was commonly supposed to have been used, but ''not'' to the Twinkie defense, we might attribute it to a natural mistake; expounding on a subject and (as any of us might do) not realizing how far we have wandered off the original subject. If that editor was reminded to stick to the subject multiple times (which, you can see from the talk page, Benjiboi has been so reminded) and ''still'' insists on going into great detail on other issues, we must suspect either slow-wittedness or another agenda. When we catch an editor red-handed making up facts that are supported by no reliable sources, and inserting false citations to disguise that fact, we must face the facts that this is an editor with an agenda.

I trust that you will use your powers as an administrator to curb an editor inserting false information and biasing articles, with the same seriousness that you applied to curbing an edit war. -- ] 17:31, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

===Unprotection?===

I'm not too sure about the advisability of unprotection at this point. I'm concerned that {{User|192.250.34.161}} wrote posted a yesterday which was by {{User|WJBscribe}} with the edit summary "rv - please rewrite as comment on content not other contributors before reposting." WJBscribe also gave 192 a about incivility. Though I think WJBscribe's point that 192 should focus on content rather & refrain from comments about {{User|Benjiboi}}, I'm also concerned about WJBscribe's neutrality given what appears to be a friendship with {{User|Jeffpw}}. See both their talk pages -- both times that WJBscribe has warned 192 about incivility, including this time, followed on Jeffpw's alerting him to it; while WJBscribe takes no apparent notice of Jeffpw's own incivility to 192. Meanwhile, Benjiboi has gone on break as a result of 192's earlier charges, & is unavailable.

I think 192's take on the article is more accurate to the facts, & except for how s/he directed things at Benjiboi, the post s/he wrote that WJBscribe reverted was pretty clear & made a lot of sense. But I don't find it productive to charge Benjiboi with wrongdoing and imputing motives. At the same time, I really question by Benjiboi in which he added two sources to back up the claim about Solomon's statement at the trial that, as 192 has pointed out, do not at all affirm what Solomon is purported to have said. It ''does'' look an awful lot like a deliberate insertion of factual errors not backed up by the cited sources. Nonetheless I wouldn't have so badly charged an established editor like Benjiboi of having done so intentionally, as stuff like that ''does'' happen accidentally in the course of lots of edits & edit warring, whose good work on Misplaced Pages I've run across several times -- but I can understand why 192 would make that charge.

Another aspect of this is that although this is an article RfC, to me, user conduct including incivility (by both 192 & Jeffpw, who's stayed off the article but has not refrained from uncivil commentary elsewhere about 192) as well the issues 192 has brought up about whether an editor (Benjiboi) intentionally inserted factual errors ''are'' relevant the RfC. And no, I'm not into creating user-conduct RfCs on everybody -- that would be going way overboard on this one.

But in any case, at this point the whole thing feels pretty bad to me, & I don't frankly know what to do at this point. Which is why I've done nothing. I guess my gut feeling has been that despite the issues about 192's statement, I don't feel it should have been reverted. I certainly don't feel that a consensus is being reached, inasmuch as 192's statement was reverted, Benjiboi is on a wikibreak, & thus the only statements made at the RfC are yours & mine -- neither of us having been involved in the edit warring that brought the protection on to begin with. --] 03:24, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

:'''Addendum.''' WJBscribe reads 192's statement as what There are accusations against Benjiboi, but none are ''ad hominem'' attacks: each accusation is justified factually so that one can see why the accusation was made, & there is no namecalling or what I would deem to violative of ] or ] -- unlike several of 192's prior communications to/about Benjiboi. I'm not sure, not at all, that that statement should have been reverted. But maybe that needs a more neutral opinion that I can offer. I do know that in the article RfC at ], we were quite frank in stating the problems we had with the user conduct of two of the users involved in our dispute (both of whom also have associated user conduct RfCs]], and an admin who has been present for most of this {{User|Akradecki}} found nothing untoward about the "accusations" leveled at those two users, all of which were founded in fact & were presented without namecalling or incivility. --] 03:56, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

::Thanks, I think that's appropriate. I will try to write a respond to 192's statement later. I agree that I don't think Benjiboi did anything underhanded intentionally; the main thing is to get things moving on from here. But in any case, I think that yes, so long as no ad hominem or uncivil attacks are made, people should be able to be frank. I certainly was when I discussed 192's personal attacks. (And Jeffpw's, whatever one thinks about the relevance of what I said about his personal attacks in this RfC. He continued his attacks on 192 in this RfC, but I didn't notice anyone reverting or deleting them.) --] 05:02, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

::No problem. I have no more to say in the RfC about Jeffpw's incivility -- I said what I felt needed to be said. Have a good night! --] 05:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

== GR: image or text? ==

I see someone has just come up with the clever idea of substituting text for the GRGuo image "because it will load faster". They seem to have forgotten that only Chinese-enabled browsers will now be able to see the characters! I do wish people would discuss this sort of change before going ahead blindly with an irritating edit. Can I leave you to revert it & point out why you're doing so? --] | ] 19:45, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:I agree with your reasoning, but I think it would be better for you to revert it (unless you have some sort of reservation). Because I created the image, my revert may come off as me trying to flaunt my own work. But before you revert, you should discuss the pros and cons with whoever changed it. They might have additional reasons behind the change that they didn't list. '''] (]·]·])''' 20:17, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

==My concern about your handling of the Twinkie Defense conflict==

I would like to state clearly and for the record that I am concerned about how you have handled this, particularly the anon IP. In your edit to the talk page yesterday, you said, My feeling is that it should. It is obvious (to me, anyway) that this editor is engaging in sockpuppetry; one look at his edit summaries will show you that, as well as his grasp of Misplaced Pages protocols. I fail to see why nobody has challenged him on it. To me, this looks less like an assumption of good faith than appeasement. As things now stand, an established editor has been driven away from this project by an IP who is narrowly editing Misplaced Pages. I find that very sad.

I would also like to remind you that I am watching this whole affair from the outside looking in. I am a purely disinterested observer. I have never edited the article and have no stake in the outcome of the content dispute. My sole concern is that I see a Misplaced Pages protocol being violated and a blind eye seemingly being turned by an administrator involved in the dispute. Give that some thought, please. ] 06:49, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


== Note from the Outside loooking In ==
First, I have never done one of these before, so if I screwed the pooch on formatting, I apologize in advance. I have just two points to make (other points were satisfactorily addressed elsewhere, so there is no need for me to rehash them) and one comment.

1. Sockpuppetry: I agree completely. Not only do I agree, but as I read through the entire editwar, I was continually amazed at this obvious puupet going unnoticed. 192 has an amazing grasp of WP: - why is this person nameless? It makes no sense unless you put the puppet on.

2. Jeffpw. Despite your assertions to the contrary, you do not come across as "watching this whole affair from the outside looking in". Your words have a feel of "interested party", even though I agree with you.

3. While I feel for the great deal of work that was done by BenjiBoi, the original article was clearly superior for an unbiased and shallow definition. What I think happened here is Benjiboi wanted to put this in context - an admirable goal, as nothing exists in vacuo - but failed to keep the shallow original intact. Bejiboi's work, flawed as it may be, would be an excellent article unto itself regarding the "Twinkie Defense In Context". Perhaps as it's own article, possibly (I believe preferably) as a subarticle of the original.

Again, my apologies if I have messed any of this up by trying to insert my thoughts. Note that I posted this to both here and the original Twinkies page, as I don't know where it's really supposed to go.

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}},

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the ] is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group '''New Page Reviewer''' has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most ''current'' experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

The subjunctive is such an integral part of Romance languages that you can't make such basic statements as ''I want him to do it'' without using it. Go on, ''un petit effort''!

A little tip: this hypothetical mood is often indicated by giving verbs the "wrong" endings—those you'd expect from a different conjugation (eg the subj. form ''quiera'' looks as if it came from *''querar'', not ''querer''; while ''hable'' looks as if it came from *''habler'', not ''hablar''). Similar changes apply, ''mutatis mutandis'', in French (& of course in the daddy of them all, Latin!).

Latest revision as of 09:31, 2 October 2023

See you later, you guys. I'm saying 'later' because I don't want this to be goodbye, but the great path of life seems to have taken me elsewhere. Maybe someday it will go full circle. This is a great site, and a great community. Go easy on each other and remember that there's a good chance that you and your fellow editor have the same goal in mind. To all my friends and enemies, and everyone in between, I wish you the best of luck in life and love.

Cheers,

More archives, for the curious one.
Still reading?
I should start labeling these...
Meh, I always enjoyed chaos more than order.
But it's hard for other users to follow!
Why are they reading it in the first place?
Maybe they enjoy all the old signposts...

Thanks for uploading File:Poseidondvd.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

  • I am a bot, and will therefore will not be able to answer your questions.
  • I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used once again.

Suspension of admin privileges due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation

Hello Ikiroid! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

  • If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
  • If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey

Notice of change

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a recent change to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
