To wit, why not pay $1,000 to get someone else to deal with OTRS for
you? For $1,000 surely you can hire an expert in the OTRS process to
draft up a letter, have a notary to come to your house, notarize your
signature on the document, and scan it in.
Actually, that might not be possible. It seem simple to you because you
are familiar with Wikipedia; the chances of a wealthy celebrity, or
anyone they might hire, being so is slim.
If OTRS is so difficult to deal with that a wealthy celebrity can't
pay someone $1000 to navigate it, you've got much lower hanging fruit
than ICorrect to deal with.
I find that rather hard to believe, though. At $20/hour that's 50
hours. That'd have to be a pretty stupid secretary/publicist/whatever
not to be able to figure out to click on "contact us", then "report a
problem with an article" then "article about you" then
"info-en-q(a)wikimedia.org" within 50 hours.
And don't tell me they could hire some banned
Wikipedian...
Why not? Because you already know they could?
$1000 to navigate OTRS and fix a problem simple enough that you're
just going to take the celebrity's word on it? I'll do it for $200.
And I'm not even banned.
