Who David Shankbone is, and why he is relevant to
this thread, is
explained
in the link found in the first post. He was a prolific member of the
English Wikipedia and (I believe) English Wikinews, interviewing a number
of
high profile individuals and uploading multiple thousands of original
photos. He's since left the projects, due in part to harassment that he
describes in the linked article.
David's case, which has been going on for quite a while, included very
significant quantities of real-life harrassment and threats, much
beyond the on-wiki incidents which were related.
It is one of the better examples of a problem clearly transcending
Wikipedia's ability to mitigate the effects, though there was more
happening on-wiki than we should have allowed to happen.
I appreciate that David is willing to speak out publicly about what
happened to him. Perhaps this will help motivate change.
