According to a thread at the Wikipedia Review forum ( http://wikipediareview.proboards78.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=d…) Daniel Brandt is wishing to name every Wikipedia admin, expanding the Hivemind page (http://www.wikipedia-watch.org/hivemind.html) to include all such details. To quote that post: *I've identified about four or five new ones in just the last couple of days. There are 613 active admins on Wikipedia's current list. I'd like to do them all. But it would take a long time. To do a reasonably thorough search can require an hour or so. Maybe what's needed is a description of how to do it -- a flow chart. For example, besides Google, Yahoo, and MSN, you cannot forget Google Groups. One guy I identified was found using his real name on Usenet back in 1994, but ever since 1995 was only using his screen name. Many old-timers have left a trail of breadcrumbs on the Internet, and that probably includes about half of the current admins. Putting together a project like this would be a very strong statement against letting anonymous Wikipedian admins play games with biographies of living persons. It would even make the newbies reluctant to wikifiddle with biographies.* I think this is starting to go too far now. ~~~~ Violet/Riga _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l(a)Wikipedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://mail.wikipedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
