I have nominated the page for [[Template:Delete|deletion]] because this [[user]] was active on wikis where the creator of the page had [[Sysop|administrative]] privileges, the user strongly criticized the page creator here,[http://ChildWiki.net/w/index.php?title=Racism&diff=prev&oldid=21310] and this information may be private. This is not a major figure in the wiki world, and [[WikiIndex]] enters perilous territory if it becomes a collection of pages like this, in pursuit of a private agenda. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 18:24, 10 March 2014 (UTC) | I have nominated the page for [[Template:Delete|deletion]] because this [[user]] was active on wikis where the creator of the page had [[Sysop|administrative]] privileges, the user strongly criticized the page creator here,[http://ChildWiki.net/w/index.php?title=Racism&diff=prev&oldid=21310] and this information may be private.

:He has a very distinctive | :He has a very distinctive [[edit]]ing style. I don't know anyone else who uses [[:Category:HTML|HTML]] markup so extensively in his [[wikitext]] ''and'' has such a strong interest in {{Wp|eugenics}}. He's definitely a one-of-a-kind guy. Anyway, this isn't the first site to link the accounts; [[RationalWiki]] did the same. But whatever; if this site is only for authorized bios, then so be it. | ||
:How is it a private agenda? It's just information. People can do with it as they wish. He criticized me, but I didn't care. He was rather amusing and was a net positive to most wikis he participated in, especially [[ChildWiki]]. His fans and others who are interested in seeing what he wrote and how people responded to him may have an interest in the material; making it all easily accessible by linking it furthers that goal. I consider myself somewhat a fan of his, although I also find his quirks and the interactions that arose from his behavior entertaining. | :How is it a private agenda? It's just information.

::The issue is the purpose of WikiIndex. Is it a place to post original research on user identities? That opens a huge can of worms, if so. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 18:43, 11 March 2014 (UTC) | ::The issue is the purpose of WikiIndex.

:::I don't know how binding [https://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=WikiIndex%3AFrequentlyAskedQuestions&diff=76974&oldid=76966 this] is, but it's been on that page for awhile. Why does [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] ban [[original research]] and prefer tertiary to primary and secondary sources? I don't know, but in some cases it has dumb results, e.g. when they're writing articles about stuff that happened on Wikipedia and people object to their citing diffs. A diff is a pretty reliable source, in my view, and diffs are pretty much the sources that will be cited when we're talking about what people in the [[wikisphere]] have said and done. It's not like anyone cared enough to write a mainstream news article about 99% of the stuff that goes on in the wikisphere. | :::I don't know how binding [https://WikiIndex.org/index.php?title=WikiIndex%3AFrequentlyAskedQuestions&diff=76974&oldid=76966 this] is, but it's been on that page for awhile.

:::Why not follow the same practices as [[RationalWikiWiki]] (aside from the dumb stuff they did, like kick people off for no reason)? They could write a several-page long article about someone using mostly diffs for the references. Granted, they did a lot of editorializing too, which we should avoid here. The Research Psychologist article had no editorializing; only cited facts.
