And as usual everyone sides with him. It can't be just me that sees his username giving out what his sole purpose on wikipedia is.

"TheRedPenOfDoom is blunt but a very knowledgeable and capable editor. If he is removing sections, odds are very good that policy is on his side when removing it"
"this looks like a content dispute"
"this appears to be a content dispute...attracting TheRedPenofDoom's attention can be an unpleasant experience, but in these matters he is typically right. Material needs sources, and your opinions about what constitute "sporadic" or "late" require citations to support your characterizations"
You are probably right here.

There's a lot to be said for an editor who goes around removing unsourced or poorly sourced rubbish. Of course, too much of a good thing can be damaging, if said editor doesn't know a reliable source when he sees one.

He
edit warred to try to keep pejorative, mis-sourced information about a BLP subject in the article. If WP's administration had it's shite together, this guy/girl would have been banned long ago.

He certainly loves to remove stuff. The Eastern University article followed the shell of WikiProject:Universities, but he managed to prune it back severely:

Never was your photo of a snoozing Jimbo at the end of a post more apt.

You could also call him Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo.
Though
Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo (T-C-L) (who "retired" one week before TheRedPenOfDoom was created) is obviously not his first account.

Someone's a comedian:
Springfield (The Simpsons) (redirect from Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo)
Yes, "
Joey Jo-Jo" is a very minor
Simpsons character. How typical.

Thanks, I'll tag him when the time is right. In case you need to learn how to do it just put {{sockpuppet|Joey Joe Joe Junior Shabadoo}}
If I do it now my socks may be exposed.

It's funny alright but right now i don't get the metaphore. By the way putting it on the asses user page is no good since it's been delted. better to put it on the top of his talkpage.
