May I ask you what type of personal information was
displayed by user ZW
and where ?

Like Anthere, I wondered what RK's latest tizzy was
about. It took a few minutes of searching to find it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Talk%3AZionism&diff=4079131&…
where Zw uses RK's real name, which to forestall
another tirade, I won't mention here. RK's real name
is easy enough to find for those who wish to look for
it:
there are numerous mails on the various lists
(googling
mail.wikipedia.org turned up four), not to
mention several Wikipedia pages, which mention his
real name---which, might I add, he revealed of his own
free will.

True, but using your real name is hardly the same
thing as threatening to---what was it?---turn
your name and address over to various political
Islamic groups, as EoT did; neither is it similar to
MNH's bluster (he didn't use your real name, did he).

Wikipedia must not allow death threats, nor must
it ever
allow private personal information to be put
online.
Wikipedia shouldn't allow you to make loud demands to
ban other users either, but it does. Unfortunately.

What has he done to deserve banning? Oh, right, used
the name that *you* made public. Gee.
Would you like to file a request with the arbitration
committee?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests for
arbitration
Go for it.

A "common pattern", eh? Well, there's
EntmootsOfTrolls, Zw, and. . . hey, MyRedDice used
your real name on a Wikipedia page once! Ban him too!

I agree. I don't want Wikipedia controlled by people
who make threats---this of course includes threats of
banning and threats of legal action (cf.
[[MeatBall:LegalThreat]] and [[Wikipedia:No legal
threats]]). Glad we agree.
