Re: [Foundation-l] Fwd: Judd Bagley presentation on Wikipedia

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Charles Ainsworth <cla68(a)yahoo.com> Date: Tue, Feb 17, 2009 at 9:04 AM Subject: Judd Bagley presentation on Wikipedia To: foundation-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org If you aren't familiar with the history behind this episode, Judd Bagley was banned from en.Wikipedia for trying to out a financial journalist who had created several user accounts in Wikipedia to promote naked short selling.  Partly as a result of his experience, Bagley has created a presentation which he gave recently to a class of business students at the University of Texas.  The presentation is here - http://antisocialmedia.net/lecture1/player.html. The first part of the presentation concerns the efforts by several individuals in the finance industry to manipulate the Internet to promote naked short selling (NSS).  Starting on slide 52, Bagley describes an attempt by one of the NSS proponents to use Wikipedia as a promotional tool for himself as well as for NSS.  Bagley then describes what happened when he attempted to intervene. I believe that personally hearing Bagley's experiences and lessons learned would be of benefit for the WMF.  I suggest that the WMF consider inviting Bagley to give his presentation to WMF's staff and boardmembers.  I believe that Bagley's contact information is available on his website- http://antisocialmedia.net/.
