Hi everyone

I'm semi-back here for some unknown reason, after a break of over six months. My primary concerns relate to Biographies of Living Persons and to mitigating the damage that Wikipedia can do. I believe that WP is now entering more of a maintenance phase and that we should concentrate on article quality and not just article count. Those days are well over.

Folks, please;

  • Implement Flagged Revisions for all BLPs. Do it now.
  • Seriously consider removing anon editing and consider some possible system of authentication.
  • Raise the bar on the BLP acceptability threshold - possibly consider Durova's 'dead tree' criteria.
  • AfDs for BLP should default to delete.
  • Remove BLPs by request of the subject. It's the right thing to do.

I'm a regular contributor to Wikipedia Review, just like so many others on here.

Disclosure: - I'm also a sysop on Encyclopedia Dramatica. Yes, it's true! I started my career on-line back in the late 80s, where I was a usenet troll, long before Wikipedia. I've been here on Wikipedia since 2003, registering first in early 2004. Please don't ask me to delete pages on ED. I can't do that, and don't have the power to do so. Others have tried and died. I've my own less-than-complimentary but somewhat hilarious biography on there, too, so what can ya do. Basically, I keep both these arenas very separate.




For urgent oversight matters, I am available by email and will deal with privacy issues, etc, at short notice
