Because I support [http://communitywiki.org/ConsolidateInformation ConsolidateInformation], I am glad that Proxima Centauri moved "The Conservapedia RationalWiki war" from WikiIndex to http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Essay:The_Conservapedia_RationalWiki_War . That seems to be a much better place for it.

I've been summoned to act as an neutral admin[http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3ADavidCary&diff=59927&oldid=59646].

 

::: Perhaps a better name would be [[:Category:Wikis with a strong viewpoint]] ? Also: Thank you for telling me about Metapedia. I am creating an article about it now: [[Metapedia]]. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 11:40, 5 December 2008 (EST)

::::From [[WikiIndex]]'s [[Metapedia]] article: ''Metapedia is an electronic encyclopedia about culture, art, science, philosophy and politics.'' No, that's far from the truth. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] 12:29, 5 December 2008 (EST)

 

::::: Please give me a little hint as to how to make WikiIndex's article more accurate? Or better yet, please edit WikiIndex article directly to make them more accurate? Thank you. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 11:59, 3 February 2009 (EST)

(I've added spaces to mangle the above URLs, since otherwise the spam filter blocks my attempt to talk about them).  Is this the best place to whine and complain about our local WikiIndex spam filter?  [[WikiIndex:AntiSpamMeasures]] seems to be about discussing AntiSpam measures on *other* wiki. --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 11:32, 5 December 2008 (EST)

:Well, it wasn't supposed to stop someone like yourself; it was meant to stop vandals, trolls, and spammers from insert Metpedia links everywhere. Unfortunately, the spam filter can't tell the difference between good and bad editors. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] 12:23, 5 December 2008 (EST)

::::Sorry, I didn't realise it was deleted because of a TOS violation. Please keep in mind that this logo is absolutely not explicit, actually you don't even see a nipple in this picture. In [[:Category:Germany|Germany]] we have probably one of the highest standards when it comes to the protection of minors, and [[Pornopedia]] is meeting all required criterias by not providing any offensive image material. Please keep also in mind that the mother of all wikis, [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], has way more actual porn than we have, like: [[wp:File:DoublePenetration.svg|this]] or [[commons:File:Ejaculation educational ani short.gif|that one]].  And no offense, but maybe it would be interesting to hear another opinion of a second admin, maybe one who doesn't [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Talk:Pornopedia&diff=66177&oldid=64894 prefer vandalism to Pornopedia]. Cheers, --[[User:Till Kraemer|Till Kraemer]] 05:03, 24 May 2009 (EDT)

You don't see a nipple but it's obvious that the couple are having sex from behind. Some people are tolerant about that but others find it distressing.  It's hard to find a compromise that satisfies everybody from every culture and all parts of the [[:Category:English|English]] speaking world.  I feel since the majority wants to include wikis like Pornpedia allowing information about Pornpedia without actual images is fairly reasonable.  I feel [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Pornopedia&oldid=66179 this revision] was unreasonable as users clicking onto that image came straight to the wiki with yet more images that they may not want to see.  A link to a wiki like that should at least be clearly marked so users don't click onto it unless they want to look at porn. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 07:06, 25 May 2009 (EDT)

Only users who are really computer savvy will know to look at their browser.  I don't mind too much as I'm used to dealing with grossly pornographic vandalism on many wikis but other users may mind.  I think we're agreed, text only for entries on porn wikis.

PrintHouse Corporation -- www<dot>printhouse<dot>co<dot>uk -- made their spam [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=PrintHouse_Corporation&oldid=66862 look like a wiki] so I've put my regular 'anti spam stuff' onto the page and protected it, I won't be bisased in their favour just because they're British.  If I've made a mistake and they're an unusual type of wiki please undo what I've done. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 11:31, 18 June 2009 (EDT)

Please see [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=RationalWiki&diff=prev&oldid=66241 this problematic edit] by Proxima Centauri to the article on [[RationalWiki]], which she has since [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=RationalWiki&diff=67162&oldid=67161 locked the article] to preserve.  There are several problems with this.

#It seems brutally disproportionate to mention cyberbullying in a [[WikiIndex]] article when the incident concerned only one or two users and had little lasting impact on the RW community.  I see no similar comments to this in other WikiIndex articles.

#The "alleged cyberbullying" took place at RationalWikiWiki, not RationalWiki, and the alleged victim was Proxima Centauri herself.  She was invited repeatedly to discuss her complaint in the proper place at RWW, but declined to do so, & is clearly using a WikiIndex as a platform to pursue this grudge instead.

It was suggested that I take up the matter at [[Rationalwikiwiki]] but I didn't do that as I feared that would [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/A_course_in_troll_sockpuppets/Feeding_a_troll feed a group of trolls] who were clamouring to be fed and could [http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/A_course_in_troll_sockpuppets/Sgt._Troll make things worse]. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 10:07, 28 June 2009 (EDT)

:So instead you post a link to your smear in an RWW article? [http://rationalwikiwiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leaving_and_never_coming_back&curid=1153&diff=10816&oldid=10805] Very smart.

I didn't reveal my name, Rationalwikiwiki did. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 11:49, 28 June 2009 (EDT)

:[http://liberapedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Ajuk&diff=prev&oldid=21958 Yes] [http://liberapedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Ajuk&diff=prev&oldid=22142 you] [http://liberapedia.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Proxima_Centauri&diff=prev&oldid=22003 did].

:You're implying that RationalWiki got your real name from a private email or something like that, while in fact that is not true. You used your real name for your original account [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/User:Barbara_Shack]. Then you tried to hide behind the Proxima Centauri account, but it was painfully obvious to everyone with at least two brain cells that Proxima Centauri = Barbara Shack. Thanks to your attempts to memory-hole your real name on RWW, you brought more attention to it and now thanks to this episode another wiki knows your real name. Congratulations.

:: <tt>[http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=User_talk%3APeu&diff=67215&oldid=67212:]</tt> I'd prefer the "cyberbulleying" sections to be removed. WikiIndex has no "CyberJudge" role. We should try to describe each wiki in a positive way giving people the chance to make their own experiences.

::::::: On most wikis, Proxima Centauri would be stripped of her sysop rights and barred from editing both articles. She is using this wiki and her sysop rights to pursue this grudge, which is an abuse of privileges. The sentence "Potential users may want to start accounts with usernames that can't be recognised at other websites." which I removed and which she insist on keeping in the article (and uses he sysop rights to keep there), has nothing to do with the issue. Even if she had used a different account on other wikis, her real name would've been revealed, since '''she created an account with her real name''' and then she executed her little vanishing act badly. Her complaints and demands just confirmed the connection between her two accounts, and her further attempts at pursuing this issue have made things even worse (e.g. now this wiki knows her real name too). Furthermore, she linked to her accounts on other wikis on her userpage: using a different username wouldn't have helped there either. I'm sorry, but you can't have your cake and eat it too. Either accept that people will look you up on other sites if you give a link, and maybe even write it down somewhere (e.g. a wiki article about you), or don't make that connection.

Do you know of other wikis which don't respect privacy?  If you know any we should add warnings there too.  I'm human, I can't deny that my personal annoyance other this is motivating me to some extent though I’m also genuinely concerned that RationalWiki users should know that they risk their identities being revealed.  The argument is still valid, Huh Powell is using an [http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/ad-hominem.html Ad Hominem] argument and as a very active RationalWikian Huh Powell has no excuse [http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ad_hominem&oldid=395999 for not knowing that].  I won’t reveal his real name though he has blatantly sided with those who revealed mine. [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 02:14, 30 June 2009 (EDT)

:PC, not respecting privacy is what TK does at CP. RationalWikiWiki has very strict rules regarding personal information: your case does not fall into any of the categories that are strictly forbidden (i.e. information from private communication, IP stalking, etc.). You were invited to discuss the matter, in fact RationalWikiWiki was willing to consider your case - the person who inserted the information said they assumed it was common knowledge like other people's real names, e.g Human's, and assumed you wouldn't object; they even removed the offending section after your complaint on RW, pending discussion, but you refused to discuss the matter, and instead resorted to threats of leaving and now petty attacks like this.

I was going to instate a formal complaint against Proxima Centauri for pursuing a personal vendetta at [[RationalWiki]] and defending her edits by locking the page, but it appears cooler heads are on the scene, so I'll lie back for now. [[User:Huw Powell|Huw Powell]] 02:50, 2 July 2009 (EDT)

Proxima Centauri is accusing [[RationalWiki]] and [[RationalWikiWiki]] of revealing users' real names. I have asked her to provide evidence on [[Talk:RationalWiki]], her response was to block me and lock the talk page.[http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=Proxima+Centauri&page=User%3A67.159.44.55] [http://www.wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=protect&user=Proxima+Centauri&page=Talk%3ARationalWiki]

She claims that RationalWikiWiki revealed her real name, and she attempted to insert this accusation into the RationalWiki article. She locked the article to keep her accusation there even after several people tried to remove it, or make it more neutral. See the [[#Request for admin intervention|section above]]. She is using this wiki as a platform for her revenge ([http://rationalwikiwiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leaving_and_never_coming_back&diff=prev&oldid=10804 see this edit]).

I believe this kind of behaviour is incompatible with being an administrator, and is harming this wiki. I request that her admin powers be removed, and the articles she locked be unlocked. Thank you. [[User:38.108.111.63|38.108.111.63]] 14:40, 9 July 2009 (EDT)

:Did you seriously expect us to sit back and watch as you write falsehoods about RationalWiki on this wiki? Especially since you [http://rationalwikiwiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Leaving_and_never_coming_back&diff=prev&oldid=10804 pointed us here]?

::"protected "Talk:RationalWiki" (repeated trolling and harassment. If someone else had been harassed the way I've been I'd probably have blocked the culprits a fortnight ago."  PC should not be a sysop, she is a power hungry concern troll with a very personal agenda she is not afraid to use her "power" here to enforce.  Someone who cares really needs to look into this. I not that [[Liberapedia]], one of her pet projects that she keeps trying to whitewash at [[RationalWiki]], is protected as of now.  Why? [[User:Huw Powell|Huw Powell]] 06:38, 12 July 2009 (EDT)

::I placed the following comment on a "real" admin's talk page: "Once more, Proxima is abusing her admin rights at [[RationalWiki]].  She has locked the article, and is taking advantage of RW being down to spam pointless links to her own pet wiki, [[Liberapedia]].  She also [http://wikiindex.org/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=block&user=Proxima+Centauri&page= blocked a user] (Nx) for correcting her incompetence. I repeat, she is a power-mad authoritarian with very poor language and comprehension skills. (I can footnote those accusations if necessary). [[User:Huw Powell|Huw Powell]] 00:59, 24 August 2009 (EDT)"  If this wiki is unable to even address its own drastic shortcomings (mostly consisting of admining block-happy, protect-happy control freaks like PC), how can it claim to report on others?

Some vandals seem to have a problem with [[User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] and choose to wage that battle on [[Dan Dascalescu's Wiki]] (in addition to [[WikiIndex:Community portal|Community Portal]]).
