Look at his contributions. The Signpost is pretty much all he does now. After making a complete fool of himself (again) all over the wiki over his run in with GW he handed in his little tin badge (again) and went off to sulk (again) for a few weeks. When he came back he spent most of his time wittering on to anyone who'd listen about how the Signpost was doomed without him and everyone else was crap.

When nobody took his bait and begged him to go back he just went back anyway and picked up where he'd left off. It appears to me, at the moment, that Mr. K and that Bri bloke who failed his RFA for being a slightly more polite version of Jytdog run it between them, and the pontificating pianist gets to basically do what he likes and write his snivelling little 'editorials' and 'guest pieces' about whoever or whatever has pissed him off that month, because the other fella doesn't give much of a shit so long as he doesn't have to run it alone.

Sure, he's not officially 'in charge' but that's even better for him, really, because he can just do as he pleases, run the show anyway, and if anyone complains he can just stomp his little foot and wail about ungrateful people being mean to him when he's only trying to help the poor failures who couldn't manage without him and rescue the Signpost for the good of the people.

Kudpung has slightly changed the story, it doesn't seem so much of an attack now. I fear Kudpung may be ailing because he has introduced another typo.

The blurb is currently; " Rude or just forgetful? Eight-year WMF manager is disappeared; Facebook gives a million bucks, gets no love. "

According to Raddatz, Jan is not James' replacement:
Note that Jan isn't the replacement for James. James was the Operations Manager of T&S, while Jan has been the Lead Manager since much earlier in this year and well before James left. James' position has not yet been filled, and other operations staff have been acting for him in the interim. See old diffs of m:Template:Community Engagement like this for example. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 17:13, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Ergo it follows that James was not actually the head honcho. Indeed Jan has been head honcho since Maggie Dennis left in early 2018. Before that Maggie Dennis was the head honcho.

If I had to make a guess, no one in the section currently is qualified so they might hire someone from outside if they do the right thing. More likely thought the WMF will hire someone from within the section and make grand statements about their qualifications.

There's an interesting exchange here between Alexander and David Robert Lewis (Ethnopunk (T-C-L)) before wikimania in South Africa.
The author of this post above fails to disclose that I inter alia:

1. Responded to Douglas Scott of Wikimania

https://medialternatives.com/2018/08/28 ... wikimania/

2. Documented the entire incident on video

https://medialternatives.com/2018/09/11 ... 8-recoded/

Not only is Mr James Alexander dead wrong about Tunis, but he is 100% wrong about every other purported fact regarding the matter and the initial complaint made at Wikimania Cape Town.

Please read my initial complaint and watch the video.

https://medialternatives.com/2018/08/08 ... oundation/

3. For the record, given the circumstances I can only welcome the dismissal of Mr Alexander from Wikimania Foundation, and demand that the Foundation deal more adequitely with incidents of racism and exclusion on the basis of opposition to apartheid.

It's pitiful:
I see you've now moved that part off-line. I am confused by this. Why would you want people to be unable to help with writing and fact-checking articles? To recap, I made an edit on the page to fix a factual error. You don't question the factual accuracy of my edit. But you have nevertheless reacted by: reverting my edit, posting a section here saying that people shouldn't "interfere" with stories in progress, moving the article to a private area where nobody else can see it or check its accuracy, and then threatening to quit if people don't like your work. Nobody is attacking you, nobody is attacking your work. Anyway, since I've got across the info that I wanted to, my work here is done. Good luck with the final version. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 19:15, 10 January 2019 (UTC) (reply)

Ajraddatz, I think you've answered your own questions. You discredit the Signpost's editors, and me personally, by suggesting that a nascent article 3 weeks before publication deadline is going to be the final offering. As regards James Alexander, the Signpost has already received the requested information from the WMF and the article was immediately updated and its draft reposted. The suggestions that possible contentious reportages be prepared offline and published at the last minute are not new and some often are. As the magazine is neither a Wikipedia article nor a discussion about an article nor user behavior it's even been discussed whether or not we should take The Signpost off the Wikimedia servers entirely and use other DP software for its production. As for attacks, I find your accusation that I claim to own The Signpost or part of it, to be inappropriate for someone of your station, but I am just a mere admin around here and sysops are not allowed to defend ourselves without incurring even more reprisals. All this does not encourage people like me and Bri to even keep The Signpost going. Last month's issue actually asked the community if they want it continued, and if so, in what form; I don't recall seeing your user name among the comments. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:54, 11 January 2019 (UTC) (reply)

As I've said many times here, I have had nothing to do with the signpost in the past. I am hardly discrediting the Signpost's editors by pointing out and fixing a mistake - this is a wiki, it happens literally all the time. You're the one who is choosing to overreact here. If you stop taking everything that happens as a personal attack against you, these situations wouldn't even exist. -- Ajraddatz (talk) 03:04, 11 January 2019 (UTC)(reply)
The only reaction he seems capable of, when corrected or mildly criticised, is a full-on foot-stomp, pout and petulant whine. Yet still, I'm certain, his poor little thought processor can't understand why nobody gives him the fawning respect he's convinced he 'deserves', and constantly wonders why there is the sound of muffled laughter and the bewildered shaking of heads everywhere he goes, as the room 'inexplicably' empties.

I adore his suggestion that the Signpost could move to its own servers - under his continued glorious and impartial 'co'-stewardship, I expect, with nary an axe to be ground in sight... He's such a stalwart supporter of critique on off-wiki sites. Of course, this would be different...

James Alexander, former Manager of Trust and Safety and long-time employee since August 2010, quietly quits the Wikimedia Foundation. Amid much speculation on Wikipedia criticism forum Wikipediocracy and nary a word on Wikimedia's WordPress website, Alexander, from whom all mention has been carefully eradicated, has apparently made his exit from the San Francisco office using the back stairs.

GorillaWarfare, an arbitrator on the English Wikipedia appears to be best informed, and explains in one of her posts on Wikipediocracy: "Before some folks here get their conspiracy theories out, there wasn't a coup or anything. I really wish the WMF would announce these kinds of changes on the mailing lists before removing the userrights, it would save a lot of wild speculation." On 15 December, the James Alexander's WMF account user page on Meta was tagged as historical by steward MarcoAurelio, while his personal Wikipedia user page, personal website, and LinkedIn entry continue to list him (as of 5 January) in his WMF capacity.

On Twitter, Alexander informed his followers that he is currently enjoying a well-earned break in Hawaii, before starting his new job as Safety Operation Manager at Twitter, working with the Periscope team.

Alexander came to the forefront for two issues during the 2018 Wikimania in South Africa when, exercising his authority, he forbade one volunteer event helper to continue his work as reported in our August 2018 Special Report, and withdrew the registration of a South African newsman and anti-apartheid activist from the conference for reasons that were later confirmed to be partly incorrect as documented in YouTube (from 26:51) and had him ejected from the venue.

The Wikimedia Foundation has informed The Signpost that Alexander's 'transition' was well prepared with German contractor Jan Eissdfeldt, the lead manager of Trust & Safety, to whom the position reported, and that Eissfeldt has been working with the Trust & Safety team to figure out the best alignment to meet the team's upcoming goals. As to the circumstances surrounding Alexander's departure or why it was not even mentioned, other than: "The Foundation doesn't discuss general personnel changes, to respect the right to privacy of our staff", the WMF has declined to comment further.

The reasons for Alexander's demission and why he was not publicly thanked for his 8 years work remain unknown.

Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2019 1:55 pm

That makes a good point. The WMF often thanks people for their service, at least on the mailing lists and that they didn't this time gives at least the appearance that the departure was not totally due to James merely accepting a new job.

James has for a long time been a face of the trust and safety team and that is not a good thing. James is largely incompetent and whatever good he did was outdone 3 times over by the bad. He made bad decisions and established bad precedent by using his position for political gain and the enablement of bad admins performing bad conduct towards editors. I know there are a few people that liked him but other than that, the WMF is better off without him dragging them down.

To "necropost" is to post to a long inactive discussion thread (on a forum), according to Wiktionary.

I necroposted to the relevant thread titled "Kavanaugh-related Wikipedia articles", as this discussed the matter that was the consensus rationale for the suspension of #Congressedits on Twitter. I was somewhat late here (~10 days) as I don't check in on Beutler's site very often (he doesn't post new blogs that often).

You necroposted to the off-topic Alexander thread, which created the fake news that Alexander was somehow involved with the suspension of #Congressedits on Twitter.

I felt obligated to set the record straight on that ASAP.

Of course he had a leaving party, he then waltzed out the front door and went on holiday to Hawaii before starting his new job which is definitely better paid and with good perks. I genuinely think Sasha is chuffed with this whole move.

As far as I can tell yes. Certainly nobody seems to care about a few sore South Africans who he seems to have accidentally screwed over at Wikimania.

Although one could speculate that Sasha decided to move out because of the possibility of people getting pissed at him for stuff.

James Alexander is like Bill Lumbergh from Office Space (in every way except size wise obviously). Alexander is a perfect match for Twitter, they both love blocking innocent users for no reason to fulfill their sites' missions to prevent the spread of knowledge. Alexander was probably more of a threat to Wikipedia than even the baddest LTAs like Cruizir, BMX, Grawp, BURob13's old account (Willy on Wheels) or right wing psycho path wingnuts ever were but because Wikipedia is an unorganize cess pool of idiots ,they didn't realize it until Alexander left on a silver platter. Goodbye you twat, and good riddance. When i say threat, I mean the further Alexander took Wikipedia, the more he was destroying Wikipedia. Alexander is a failure and when he's fired from Twitter for being too extreme for even then, Alexander will be back in his mother's basement.
