At 1401 on the 12th August back in 2006 I made my first edit to the Wikipedia, all to the knowledge management article. Five years later I have made over twenty thousand edits to over six thousand articles, the best part of eight thousand article talk pages, four thousand user talk pages and just over […]

It’s the best part of two years since then and I am now active on a range of pages, have been granted rollback privileges for my services in combating vandalism and have helped flush out two sock puppets. Over the last few months […]

I’m getting worried about some aspects of the `Wikipedia. The problems I reported earlier have continued with more encounters with Wiki-facists. As a part of that battle I have now heard stories of Wiki-stalking and see evidence for myself of pervert structures being built up. No ecology can survive unrestricted predation without damage, and possibly […]

While I support the Wikipedia as a useful source of knowledge, along with the general principles of mass participation, it can at times be difficult. In the last few days I seem to have spent a disproportionate amount of time dealing with the deletion of obscenities on the Wales article, and preventing self-promotion in the […]
