Blatant Canvassing - Vote for your local Oversighter today!
by Jon Davis 12 Jun '10

12 Jun '10

Maybe you've decided to avoid the project pages on Wikinews as of late... hey, we can't blame you. Or maybe you're purposefully avoiding Request For Permission because you're tired of voting on reconfirmations. Either way, Wikinews needs you! We've got Oversighters up for vote, 4 in fact (Choices, oh my)! In order to get local oversight, we need 25 support votes, and at least 2 OS'rs. We're getting close to that count... but we're not quite there. So please, stop by WN:RFP ( http://enwn.net/rfp ) and vote today. http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Wikinews:Requests_for_permissions#Requests_for_… Vote. Or the Wikipedian's win. -- Jon [[User:ShakataGaNai]] / KJ6FNQ http://snowulf.com/ "This email should not be used to sue me" -- Bawolff

All of this shouldn't have happened. the stupid damage he caused was catastrophic for the community. I hope this will be, someday, forgotten. Not by me. Oh, and good luck getting the checkuser and proxy checks done on your new pet troll. Brian.

Are you referring to Matthew Edwards? Are you trying to reopen this can of worms? No. Stop it. Drop it. This circus needs brought to a complete halt; I have not spent hundreds of dollars keeping the wikinewsie.org domain running, put thousands of hours into keeping the project's identity distinct from Wikipedia, and, all-too-often put it before things others would give precedence to, for this sort of shit to happen. Edwards had my private email, my private phone number, or could have kept us all informed with a single line on-wiki if there was a problem. None of these things happened; there was his return to Wikipedia editing, and no notification to anyone on Wikinews. Zero response to notification when I removed his Wikinewsie email. The case is closed, and an un-fucking-believable amount of damage to the community was the outcome. I don't think making a credible, free, news source is a game. Do you? Newspapers are disappearing behind paywalls; if you do not start thinking a couple of years ahead, then I will have wasted the last five pushing, cajoling, and - sometimes beating - the project and community into a position to capitalise on that. For the last time, and the last time only, archive these insane flamefests and in-fighting off WN:RFP and WN:AAA. This can be reviewed when we have all had a good time to cool off. Personally, I'm questioning whether I should renew the Wikinewsie.org domain next month. But, that decision is mine alone. With what has happened in my personal life over the last two years it could, ironically, be considered one of the very few assets I still own. Yet, I hold it for what I see as a common good. Brian.

I went ahead an redacted all the email addresses below as a courtesy for Matthew Edwards and myself. --Mikemoral -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: Wikipedia e-mail Date: Thu, 03 Jun 2010 06:25:42 +0000 Hi, I'm not really sure what's going on. I haven't been on Wikinews in several days, and my family and I have been out of the country for most of last week and this, so if there has been any recent vandalism or other activity associated with my account please notify Wikipedia and Commons, or meta or something, because it is not me and I have unified login and use the same account password, and I am also an admin at WP. I will have to deal with it all when I get back to America but I'm not coming home til Saturday, and even then might not get online til I go back to work Monday. I don't have any access to the internet right now; nomally I could use my cellphone but I don't want to pay international roaming data charges, and my mother doesn't own a computer. I will try to get to an internet cafe, but I have other things I.R.L. that I must deal with first that are more important. Thanks for letting me know, and I'll also see if I have any WP admins in my email contacts to tell them to block my account.
