Somehow Wikipedia Never Learns: The Spoonkymonkey Story

I also noticed that his GoldLilydog (T-C-L) sock was blocked July 1.

Yes, the SPI page says "Claiming to be Mark Bourrie (whether they are or not) and making legal threats equals a block even if they're not actually a sock."

Congratulations to Mr Bourrie on winning an award (the RBC Taylor Prize (T-H-L)) for his latest book!

That won't get him an unblock. Being notable is no defence. I believe that one of the early members of this site has a Wikipedia article but is blocked there.

He made sure this fact was added to his article via a sock

Edits are supposed to be assessed by their quality, not who made them, though of course people frequently revert sock edits even if that damages the encyclopaedia by restoring errors or vandalism. It can't be denied that this edit was an important update to the article.

Sure, no issues with the edit itself. Just noting that he's likely still socking. Unless it was one of us and not Bourrie?

I suspect it was just a random Canadian. Bourrie's socks tend to be more obvious. Aside from everything else, he seems to have written a well-received book that got great reviews and won an award. Nothing wrong with having that in his Wikipedia article.

He hid his twitter account again after this yesterday.

If you make false allegations about me professionally, like Mark Bourrie did, I’m going to make you apologize.

He made the right choice to do so, despite (cough) blocking me afterwards.

A tipster tells me that Mark Bourrie is back editing as CorrTimes (T-C-L). They seem very interested in Canadaland topics, as usual.

[Instant Noodle]

Sure sounds like him.

[owl be it]

His old nemesis Warren Kinsella is still celebrating his victory over Maxime Bernier, (T-H-L), who Spoonkeymonkey was representing.



He also appeared on Rachel Marsden's podcast last April and talked about censorship for an hour. I didn't watch it, so I don't know if the subject of wikipedia came up.

He used to edit war her article in defense of her honour being besmirched by the mention of her tangles with the law.

He's back, trying to correct his bio. Account is blocked, but not the IP.

He's been edit warring with Deleting Unnecessary Words (T-C-L) for weeks.
