GAB running for admin

Mega-prolific sockmaster GeneralizationsAreBad (T-C-L) is running for admin

Nominated by Diannaa (T-C-L) and Jonas Vinther (T-C-L)

See my description here for a list of some of his current socks.

And Majora (T-C-L) (formerly Stabila711), one of his sockpuppets, has turned up to support him.

I wonder if he'll get the broom?

And I wonder if Earthy Astringent or KingsIndian will be kind enough to comment on this?

:popcorn:

You never actually linked any of those accounts, if I remember correctly. Also, they're very clearly separate people. Good thread.


edit: full disclosure, I can't be sure that I'm not a sockpuppet of this person either, they may have gotten to me in my sleep

I am not sure why you think I may have any info
I have no idea who MMAR is except that I think he may be the same as slacker here. I don't know any of those WP accounts except Peterthefourth and Charlotte135, who ha e crossed my path occasionally. Starke Hathaway is definitely not MMAR. Charlotte135 is different from both Starke Hathaway and PeterTheFourth.

These are all impressions. I don't have much knowledge or interest in this.

You can count me in the "no" column.

I want to congratulate SanDaimo, though, on his 19th post to Wikipediocracy.

A good question here. I await the answer with interest.
Additional question from Ritchie333
10. An IP wanders on to Prisons in North Korea and removes a bunch of links from the "External links" section. An established editor with 50,000 edits quickly reverts. Neither edit has an edit summary. The IP takes the links out again, with the summary "irrelevant". The established editor reverts with a summary "Jesus H Christ, not another POV warrior on this, please go and attack another article". The IP re-reverts with a summary "rv pointless antagonism by braindead moron who has obviously drunk the kim il sung kool aid far too much". As an administrator, you stumble on the history - what do you do?
And on a different note:
Additional question from Wbm1058
11. Why are generalizations bad?
