Full Version: Wikipedia hates children

George W. Bush once asked "Is our children learning?" And in front of children, he also said, "Childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured."


Well on Wikipedia, apparently that poor child in Africa isn't going to be helped by it.

Remember Ionas68224 the 11 year old?

Then there's
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki...s_of_Ionas68224

Seven accounts so far. They try useful things like in http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=149461147 one says:

But wikipedia doesn't care about correct spelling or grammer (as you'd know if you read its articles).




Not only that on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ionas68224 a user Miranda claimed he's a sock of Encyclopedist. Now I don't know who Encyclopedist but apparently he made a lot of names impersonating Cyde several years back.

Encyclopedist also has http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:EndoExo tagged as a sock. EndoExo is the same person as GeorgeHe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki...pets_of_EndoExo
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki...ets_of_Gorge_He

EndoExo/George He is supposed to also be the same person as Amorrow and Johnny The Vandal/Mike Garcia.


I don't think all these folks are the same person, but on Wikipedia they like to link people and say that multiple people they don't like are all one person.


Anyway, so Wikipedia found an 11 year old kid who seemed more or less innocent with just some personal difficultiies dealing with people. Instead of dealing with him as most of their admins are kids, too, they banned the guy. Then they claimed he's the same as every bad person even Amorrow who likes to stalk the women.

Remember that Miranda I mentioned? Well he or she is creating a mass sock farm and not even hiding it.

I wonder if that has anything to do with requesting an account, where for some reason, a potential new user cannot register that name for some reason, and someone else who is already a user on the site does it for them if they are asked to do so.

Oh I didn't see that. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=165135278


Someone made an account called "Cyce", too. Not Miranda. I wonder why someone would name their account "Cyce".




Miranda's accounts are voting on adminships, too.

I would think the only problem from that would be if Miranda voted with another account that she had registered. Other than that, it just appears that she's using an account for a different computer there.

I don't know what happened with the Cyce account. It looks like a Cyde impersonator but also it appears the account no longer exists and this guy claims he made it some time ago. I can find no logs for the Cyce account, either.

Yes, Acalamari can't be more than 16 himself.
