En.wikiversity seems to have developed a collaborative culture, however, and I've been a piece of that. Wikipedia is mostly clueless on this, instead preferring what is "wiki," i.e., quick.Īt this point, I'm working on Wikiversity, which has the potential to reform the WMF, but which is also vulnerable to abuse, just like all the wikis. NPOV policy requires consensus to be realistic (i.e., *genuine consense*, not merely ad-hoc consensus), yet true consensus famously requires lots of discussion, typically facilitated discussion. The flat "encyclopedic" design sets up conflict. Unless, of course, you are supporting the cabal. Basically, I hold the arbitrators responsible for the lack of due process in ArbComm cases, for the gross abuse of the system, where, if you are an ordinary editor and you request arbitration, you are taking your wikilife in your hands, more or less asking, "ban me." My sense of NYB's legal acumen took a huge hit. Yeah, a legal threat, from a lawyer-arbitrator, no less. He seemed to think some sort of legal action was a possibility. Newyorkbrad made threatening noises to me when I was "socking"? I.e., IP editing, ignoring a block and sanctions. If it really serves you to sock and whatever, you can do it. Kumiko, let me assure you, you are now free, as you said. They then grave-dance, "See what a jerk he is?" They are *pissed.* Socking and vandalism are common. What happens when someone has been doing the kind of work Kumiko did, and then runs headlong into the Beast, and discovers that the policies and guidelines and apparent protections for due process and editors are not worth the paper they are not written on? How about substance? Well, this ArbComm review was straight-on. KumiokoCleanStart: 35,732 March 2013 to January 2014, peak monthly 12,933.Īnyway, this editor was obviously doing phenomenal levels of wikignoming, with AWB. Kumioko (renamed) 249,980 June 2011 to February 2012, peak monthly not avail. However, Kumioko began editing as Kumioko again, from Apto March 3, 2013.Ĭontributions from toolserver (all including deleted) count: , summary: 02:23, 19 April 2012 MBisanz renamed user Kumioko to Kumioko (renamed) (318,300 edits. However, Kumioko was renamed to Kumioko (renamed). It makes it difficult for others to assess one's work. Renaming by creating a new account and linking is *allowed* but is scuzzy. However, the user created new accounts, Kumioko (renamed) ( T- C- L) and KumiokoCleanStart ( T- C- L), the latter seems to hold the real long-term talk page but this edit shows abandonment, apparently returning again to IP editing. Kumiokio more or less spits in Jehochman's face.

Notice how upset editors were that he didn't declare a ban. He's new and may not realize that he is far from the first. What I see in Kumioko is a fairly normal, moderately sane human being, who discovered the truth about Wikipedia and was outraged. I don't know who has earned that honor, but last time I looked, Scibaby ( T- C- L) was pushing 1000 and I think they stopped counting. Kumioko, however, has a way to go to be the most prolific sockmaster. Anyone that AndytheGrump dumps on can't be all that bad.
