In my opinion, the idea that IP edits are so valuable that we should ignore the harm to living subjects is morally bankrupt.



To all those who may be interested, this former administrator will possibly rejoin the admin corps the day that any of these things happens:

  • Flagged revisions is turned on, at least for BLP's
  • semi-protection of BLP's is instituted
  • a working system of governance that gives admins the tools and backing to do a proper job

Trying to administer a project with both arms tied behind ones back is a pointless exercise.


Thanks for your help with BLPs!

The BLP Barnstar
Your hard work on BLPs in general, and at User:Lar/Liberal Semi specifically, is much appreciated. That page has now been sunsetted (and I hope never to need to bring it back) but the work you did there (whether by bringing articles forward, reviewing them, or protecting them... or even by questioning or criticizing the process!) was of great help to the project. See you in the trenches (in the happy event of your return)! ++Lar: t/c 01:48, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Lar. It's a pity it didn't gain more widespread support. Kevin (talk) 10:01, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It was discussed on the functionaries-en list and I think the protection standards at RFPP have moved a bit in the good direction, and it collected some good data so I think it was useful. Best. ++Lar: t/c 16:03, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]


hi there.

Gucci Mane's article is missing the whole bit about how he shot at some people and was charged with murder. i made an account to fix it but i'm not going to make filler edits just to confirm my account.. please either unprotect so i can fix it, or fix it yourself, or ask someone else to do it.

"arrest" section is also all wrong, check out the citations

and yes IP edits can do plenty wrong, easy solution would be an approval system for IP edits, or delay so you could revert them before they go live.. current wikipedia is just broken
