who once indef blocked ...
Thank you for pointing me in the direction of
Wikignosis' talk page. It was a delight from beginning to end, but particularly the bits about Mao Kobayashi, and the Google news archive search. And also this

Decline reason: ""I hope that this page becomes the laughing-stock of the non-Wikipedia "real" world. I have no desire to work within such a dysfunctional community." Then there is no need to unblock you.
Self-fulfilling, no?
Peter, I'm glad you enjoyed WikiGnosis. That was one of my favorite forays into proving some points on Wikipedia. Durova "investigated" that account and determined that it was a sockpuppet of JB196 -- another failed investigation on her part. She refactored about 5 days later.
It was so delightful to see that Jimbo's statement that negative, unsourced personal information about any living persons should be removed on sight, actually carried no weight whatsoever within his community.
I especially liked the fact that a 15-year-old Japanese "naughty" model's sexy outfits were described in detail, with no attribution to sources; as well as the size of someone's tumor that was surgically removed (equally unsourced) was "non-surgically" reimplanted within that person's BLP on Wikipedia.
Swatjester particularly thought it
important to restore the description, unsourced, of the Japanese teenager's sexy outfits.
WikiGnosis was a wonderful exercise in exposing the hypocrisy on Wikipedia, and I'm very proud of that sockpuppet.
