Let's not forget what happened to Matt Keys's Wikipedia account.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:TheMediaHistorian

Wonder if he did some undeclared paid editing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... on=history

On the SAME DAY he was Sanfranb&, he was fighting with people on the RS noticeboard. About his own website.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti ... 1282704947

Explains why The Desk ran that item about Kayla, when no one else would. He wants revenge on the WMF. How predictable.

In that Reddit thread the OP (Alice) have namedropped me saying that "my friends" (presumably referring to Eric and others) can presumably help with Kayla's case. The WO is now trying to dox Alice who has a substantial amount of anti-Wikipedia links on Reddit; I think she's likely introduced to me by WillyNilly1997 or so on. My gratitudes to WillyNilly1997 if that's the case.

Eric, remember what I told you about putting your Wikipedia databases into archival-grade discs just in case the law enforcement come asking? Now is the time.

Would love it if WillyNilly and Eric becomes the top mods of /r/watchwikipediadie since the shadowban appeals aren't successful yet, but what do you know about JPxG?

Isn't WillyNilly1997 the pro-Zionist karma-farming bot account?

I and you would've been bitter argumentation opponents against each other in terms of Ukraine on the likes of Reddit if not for Wikipedia's rabbit holes.

Uh oh maybe wrong judge?
pacermonitor wrote: Mae v. Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.
Texas Northern District Court
Judge: Reed C O'Connor
Case #: 4:25-cv-00451
Nature of Suit 442 Civil Rights - Employment
Cause 42:1981 Civil Rights
https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/cas ... ation,_Inc_
Wikipedia wrote: On March 26, 2015, O'Connor enjoined the federal government's definition of marriage as it relates to the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.[14] He dissolved the injunction following the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges.[15]

On August 21, 2016, O'Connor issued a ruling against the Obama administration dealing with the government's interpretation of Title IX rules. The guidance from the White House was issued in May 2016, and addresses the Title IX requirement that schools receiving federal funding not discriminate against students on the basis of sex. The ruling required that transgender students be allowed to use the bathroom that corresponds to their gender identity. O'Connor ruled that the new guidelines did not receive proper notice and comment prior to publication, and that Title IX and its implementing regulation are "not ambiguous" as to the "plain meaning of the term sex as used". He then issued a nationwide injunction preventing them from being enforced with respect to students' access to "intimate facilities."[16] The Obama administration appealed the decision, but the Trump administration rescinded the guidance and moved to dismiss the appeal.[17][18]

If Reddit cured Wikipedia, u/LiYBeL would be sane today.

That's a weird one.....how do you find them? Reddit is like everything else online, polarized as hell. Oil and water and all that.
