Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 01:21, 12 September 2005

Help! I'm being oppressed!!

"For those who haven't noticed, he's now banned for another two days for creating User:Go Cowboys, and crudely cloning the userpage of User:Zzyzx11 to conceal the account's newness." – Smyth\

W T F ?!!

I'm being railroaded on the Administrator's board with no avenue to defend myself or method of logging a complaint against this administrator. Everyone who fails to support Jayjg's non-definition of terrorism is blocked, discredited, and sometimes even banned permanently (I think Mr. Go Cowboys is the eleventh editor to which this this has happened.) What has he done wrong? Absolutely nothing. His only crime is that he is being accused of being me—-same as the other ten editors. I haven't said anything because it is none of my business. If these editors want to stand up for themselves, I would be happy to help them, but none of them have dared to take a stand. If Misplaced Pages wants to kick out people who have done nothing except contribute to articles, that is their business. But now I'm getting punished because Jayjg accuses them of being me? Does anyone care what this is doing to Misplaced Pages? Does a single one of you have the balls to stand up for what you know is right?

And Felix L'Angleterre, editor of two newspapers and senior manager of an enormous publishing house, is the 12th. You're about to be the 13th. Your block will be extended for another 48 hours for block evasion, and if you create any more sockpuppets, the block will be indefinite for this account too. The joke's worn thin, Zeph.

Not an Enemy: A Response to Uncle Ed

In my edit history, Uncle Ed left me a little note: " 21:53, 7 September 2005 Ed Poor (not an enemy, unless that's how you want it) "

My response is: Misplaced Pages editors don't need friends in high places. We need a level playing field. The best article should rise to the top, not the one supported by the highest ranking official. If you want to help Misplaced Pages and her editors, demote administrators that use their power to unduly influence an article, and do it on their first offense. With greater power comes greater responsibility to stave off corruption. --Zephram Stark 21:02, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Examples

If you need examples, I can name about a hundred, but so could almost anyone else I've talked with about the problem. You could start with Jayjg's blocking and reverting the articles of everyone who disagreed with him at terrorism. You could add his buddy, Jpgordon's, locking of the article in order to avoid the 3RR limit in reverts, which they would have reached, even with their blocking. If that's not enough, you could add SlimVirgin's conveniently forgetting to block anyone who viciously argued her side of the terrorism discussion, while blocking everyone, not already blocked by Jayjg, who argued against her agenda (9 in all, I believe, with legitimate IP service addresses all around the world). You could read in the discussion how all three of them dared anyone to come in and support me using their login accounts, and when they did, how they were immediately blocked and labeled "sockpuppets." You could look through Jayjg's User_talk to see the dozens of people he has done similar things to, but you would have to go to his edit history, because he deletes negative responses from his talk page. --Zephram Stark 21:43, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
