| == Disastrous Cyberstalking campaign in some Misplaced Pages Articles and TalkPages has gone unimpeded for 18 months == | |||
| Mr. Wales, this is the first time myself or a friend or relative has attempted to contact you. We have each attempted numerous numerous times in the past 22 months to solicit helpful intervention from many Misplaced Pages Administrators, but in almost every single case, the Administrator ends up worsening the problem or making only a few feeble attempts to understand it and "fix" things...and then basically "runs away," confused or intimidated by the complexity or volatility involved -- or deciding to further harass and defame the Mormon involved. As a result of this, a particularly cunning and obsessive cyberstalker has been able to censor or mutilate articles and items of information of great interest to Mormons, researchers, and rights activists everywhere. Just today, he and an accomplice of his ] put a total edit block on ] and ] in order to preserve "and protect" ] = ]'s smear campaign at both articles since the first of December 2007. Disgraced editor Snocrates quit editing on February 16, 2008 and Good Olfactory began editing on February 16, 2008. I'm disappointed to realize that some Administrators possibly knew that the Wiki-arsonist ] is the same as Wiki-arsonist ], and haven't done anything to stop his misconduct, but have done plenty to assist. | |||
| A few recent explanations of the problem are and and and (note there how '''GoodOlFactory=Snocrates''' on March 7 2008 once again "tag teams" a victim editor...just 21 days after he was denied Administratorship for "tag teaming" a victim editor via '''Zoporific=Snocrates'''....!). Another useful recent resource of explanation is on GoodOlFactorys Talk Page --comments offered before the victims of Snocrates realized that he and GoodOlFactory are one and the same. By now, there are hundreds of relevant edits, reverts, comments and so forth related to the cyberstalking scheme initiated by a couple of users in late July 2007, and then "picked up" and intensified by '''] =]=]=]''' as well as accomplices such as ] in December 2007 and (sadly) ] who banned the cyberstalking victim on December 18, 2007 when he announced he would contact Law Enforcement if the cyberstalking continued. That's not a legal threat, that's a universally-recognized civil right, for a victim of a crime to "threaten" to contact relevant police authorities. A legal threat is "threatening" to hire a lawyer and so forth. It is sad that Versageek did that, because she was helpful to the cyberstalking victim in August and earlier in December 2007, but it was wrong and injurious for Versageek to ban the cyberstalking victim and then refuse to lift the ban, to this day, just as it is wrong for the "malicious genius" '''Snocrates=Zoporific=G77=GoodOlfactory''' and accomplices to keep banning and censoring anything offered at Misplaced Pages by Mr. Smith or family and friends who may occassionally share his username. | |||
| I would like for ] to be un-banned, the same as was ], after some Administrators realized he was right about Snocrates/Zoporific, and they were wrong (see a few extra-noble Wiki Administrators apologize And I would like any other so-called "suspected sockpuppet" of Jsmith 51389 or friends or relatives of his (such as and ] to also be un-banned, on the principle that every single instance of banning has been unfair, misinformed and/or malicious. | |||
| I apologize that I don't have the time now to add a lot of convenient documentation and explanation, but as you know, defamation instigates harassment and still more defamation if someone influential and authoritative is unwilling or unable to intervene. Please intervene and completely stop in all articles and Talk pages of Misplaced Pages, the vicious cycle of defamation and harrassment instigated in 1990 and 1991 by a malicious or inept anti-Mormon media reports locally and then replicated countless times nationwide to the present day (thanks to the internet), ranging from an atrocious false report atop the ]/Star on January 2, 1990 to the Associated Press thereafter, and the virulently anti-Mormon ] to the present day.

| == Appeal of arbcom case == | |||
| I am extremely concerned about aspects of the Scientology case at the arbcom, and would like to appeal it. My basic concern is that I am worried that, in an attempt to try to make the decision not seem one-sided, people were wrongly singled out for censure for minor problems, and sanctions were imposed on users based on insufficient or at times non-existent evidence of wrongdoing. | |||

| Hi, Jimmy Wales. | |||

I agree that a FA shouldn't have many red links, but at pt.wikipedia some users are removing red links in articles that are important to the reading of any visitor of the page.

| == Reporting an editor who is engaged in a prolonged campaign of subtle vanadalism == | |||
| Jimbo, I've been compelled to return to you one more time in relation to the editor FyzixFighter. I reported him twice recently to the administrators incidents noticeboard for wiki-hounding. I gave ample evidence to the extent that he has been following me around on physics articles undermining my attempts to make these articles more readable. The administrators turned a blind eye to the evidence and ignored the complaint. That of course gave FyzixFighter the green light to continue in earnest. | |||
| == Old edits to your user page retrieved, your very early edits, etc. == | |||
| I specifically want to bring your attention to this passage which I have copied from the yesterday's centrifugal force talk page. Basically FyzixFighter is trying to prevent me from making references in the article to the extent that centrifugal force can be treated outside of the context of rotating frames of reference. He demanded that I produce sources. I produced a perfectly good source, and he then denied it. | |||
| Hi Jimmy, I've moved your user page edits from their previous location at "Jimbo Wales" to {{noredirect|User:Jimbo Wales/old2}} with ], so they're no longer in the main namespace; the title "{{noredirect|User:Jimbo Wales/old}}" was ].

| ::'':For example, Shankar doesn't mention frames - so we cannot say that he supports the statement that the centrifugal force exists as a real force in an inertial frame.

Hi Jimmy, I've moved your user page edits from their previous location at "Jimbo Wales" to User:Jimbo Wales/old2 with a little assistance, so they're no longer in the main namespace; the title "User:Jimbo Wales/old" was already taken. I then imported edits to your user page from some 2001 database dumps, most notably the one from August 2001, so we can now see the first version of your user page on 19 January 2001 (UTC)! I hope this is all OK with you.
It's a long story how I ended up doing this. So WikiProject Women in Red is celebrating a milestone of 20% of our biographical articles being about women. In the draft press release about this event, a question was raised about who was the first woman to get a biographical entry here]]. I was able to give a definitive answer of Rosa Parks on 21 January 2001 (UTC)! I've been spending the last couple of days checking the very early edits of the first biographies created around that time, and came upon Thomas Edison (or ThomasEdison as it was at first in CamelCase). In the process of consolidating the Thomas Edison page history, I moved your edit from "ThomasEdison" to "Thomas Edison"; your early edit to that page on 23 January (UTC) was previously listed as the first one but not any more.
As noted in various places like this discussion, your first surviving edit under the username "JimboWales" was to the ThomasEdison (or Thomas Edison) page. I checked the August 2001 database dump for any earlier ones, found them, and imported all of them to the English Misplaced Pages database. Of course you made earlier edits, but it's interesting to find early contributions attached to your username (in CamelCase form or otherwise). Graham87 (talk) 15:32, 23 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm sorry I haven't been able to work the draft up enough to get it admitted to mainspace. It does make me wonder about what we do and don't include, our notability criteria, Articles for Creation (AfC) process, and collaborative ethos. Thanks so much for any help or guidance you can offer! Have a great 2025 and beyond. Thanks again. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:57, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
