Authors of 5+ unreferenced BLPs hall of shame: Special:Contributions&limit=500&contribs=user&target=DASHButt&namespace=3

This is a bot message directed to those authors. Actually a great idea, but I can make a mental note to search RFA candidates if they're on this page! biggrin.gif


I looked at a couple, but didn't see any with 5+ … is there an annotated list somewhere?

BTW, had to laugh at this one, as one of the silliest username blocks I've seen yet rolleyes.gif

XXX can be taken by some users to imply porn

Isn't there a user called something like Ten Pound Hammer and his otters? By the logic above he should be blocked as claiming to represent a group.

Reverting to thread topic, does anyone think that adding one or two sources even verifiable ones to an article will solve the problem? I started on Wikipedia because I discovered that the bio of a relative of mine (horror: COI) had the subject's name wrong. There was an online source for the name. That source is wrong and I have cited two reliable dead tree sources to prove it. Were not it for me that error admittedly trivial would have been left indefinitely. Nobody could believe that there are no worse examples of this around.
