Yeah, it's one year delayed. The public announcement below in which I announced my departure was back in January. I tried to change my cynical attitude toward the project and give it another shot. It didn't work. It ain't never gonna work. Ban-evading socks are still allowed to roam around harassing editors and POV pushing all over the place. Factions and cabals are formed to scheme a plan to drive certain editors off the project. (for instance, my arbCom case). I don't think any good faith editors would wanna work in such an oppressive environment, unless, of course, they got nothing better to do. I came back last month after a 5 months hiatus realizing things would never change for the better. If an identified sockpuppet of a fucking troll can request a username change while an established editor who got set-up by a shameless faction in the community is denied this privilege, then the system is fucked up. Seriously, this is a just a bloody username change under the due process, as simple as that. I don’t understand why the ‘crats gotta listen to a troll/sockpuppet. What a blatant example of hypocrisy and double-standard.

In reflection, I have to say that I’m quite proud of the way I acted on wikipedia. My proudest achievements are defending the right to use joke banners during the UI spoofing incident, relentless pursuit of RevolverOcelotX and his ban-evading socks against overwhelming adversity, standing up against admin Jiang for his blatant racism on Taiwanese, and fighting with a factions of POV pushers who clearly want me out of the project (Sumple, blueshirt, Ideogram, RevolverOcelotX, Ben Aveling, Wizardman, Jiang, Aquarius, etc). I’m happy to say that I lasted longer than most of them.

To the trolls, racists, admis who abuse editors, sockpuppets, and others (y’all know who you are), keep wasting your time, I ain’t gonna stop y’all. To the good-faith people out-there, there is more to life than ‘pedia. Live your lives to the fullest instead of wasting it online.

Wikipedia needs a revolution. Otherwise, there is no hope. Anyway, I’m here only for the arbcom election. We’re at a crossroad. Make the right choice, vote the right people.

China=shame! Long live joke banners.

He also said, "If an identified sockpuppet of a fucking troll can request a username change while an established editor who got set-up by a shameless faction in the community is denied this privilege, then the system is fucked up."

Any idea who he is referring to?

A topic concerning Certified Gangsta? I actually decided to make an account here as a result.

I caught him edit-warring a year ago on some British models, namely Keeley Hazell. What was he doing? Changing "English" to "British" back and forth. I tried and failed to compromise with him, and since then he continues to paint me as an edit-warrior. It's actually kind of sad, really. This and the following arbcom case and review was my only real interaction with him.

The arbcom case you were referring to, btw, is here.

I remember him being angry about RevolverOcelotX and his socks harassing him. I think CG is upset that ROX's socks were allowed to harass him (in his view) despite his pleas for them to be blocked per WP:BAN. That was one topic I followed.

CG was one of those idiotic editors who would bitch moan and wikilawyer

He says he's a lawyer in real life.

Ergo, Wikipedia is not real life.

Jesus christ must be one of those over litigious ambulance chasers - i seriously thought he was about 13 the way he went on.

What sort of lawyer would choose the handle Certified Gangsta?

He says he's a lawyer in real life.

He also says his net worth's $5.5 million. Heck, he's a guy who probably doesn't even deserve his own thread. Or maybe his uselessness and arrogance Does in fact deserve a thread. The regs would know better than I.
