Subject: Identity games by Florentin Smarandache - msg#00325
List: science.linguistics.wikipedia.english
Florentin Smarandache appears to be creating a large number of user
accounts, and using them to support the inclusion of articles related to his
idiosyncratic theories. The case for this is rather thin, but I hope a
developer will see this message and check the IP addresses of the various
users.
What I know is this: Smarandache has a history of inventing multiple
personalities. I have three confirmed fake names, invented by him. The three
personalities are Carol Harlestle, Charles T. Le and George Gregory.
FS = 64.106.24.52 (static line at Gallup)

Additionally, AxelBoldt has made a case that FS is Dr. Minh Perez, on
[[Florentin Smarandache]].
The user accounts which have been created in the past few days and have been
used to support Smarandache include johnkamla, Lit-sci, Bigtexas,
Arizonaval. I don't know if that's all of them. There have also been
suspicious anonymous edits under the Gallup IP addresses 64.106.24.51 and
64.106.24.53 -- could be different computers in the same lab.
If my theory turns out to be correct, I suggest we threaten FS with banning.
Identity games like this should not be allowed.

Wikipedia's article on felching is the #2 Google hit when you search for
felching! I've added [[Felching]] to [[Wikipedia:Top 10 Google hits, A-K]].
Think we can hit #1 with a little work? I've never been so proud....

Request for help with new article
Howdy all, I just wrote a new article, [[List of ethnic slurs]]. I've put a
redirect at [[List of racial epithets]]. Now, the list also includes terms
for people based on their religion, but I don't think that the article
title is that big a deal. Now, on to my request.
Because I've from the United States, the list is obviously heavily
populated with American English examples. I'm hoping that people from other
countries (especially non-English speaking ones) will stop by to add in
their own terms.
Just to clarify, I'm interested in this as a scholarly pursuit, although it
will probably be used for unsavory purposes by unsavory individuals. If you
could all take the time to go look and make whatever changes you think will
improve the article, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Is it really so unclear what I'm saying? The idea of
what is "sexually explicit" has at various times
included piano legs, women's ankles, and Elvis
Presley's hips. In quite a few places on the planet,
it still includes women's ankles, and I'm sure it
would include Elvis Presley's hips as well. For an
example in the opposite direction, Robert Mapplethorpe
considered his work "erotic," yet many (many) people
consider it "pornographic." Should I point you to the
obscenity trials for James Joyce's _Ulysses_? Anyway,
tagging articles with commentary of that
sort--"sexually explicit," etc.--is the same as
imposing your cultural POV onto them; in other words,
it is the same as declaring the wikipedia a developed
nation's middle-class anglocentric-pedia. Exactly how
is that of benefit to us?

Wonderful detective work! Charles T. Le actually managed to get an
article which praises Smarandache into a peer reviewed math journal,
and in addition he generates about 130 Google hits, every last one of
them about Smarandache. No institutional affiliation discernable.
Gregory shows up as an editor of some of Smarandache's publications.
This will make for a great addition to [[Florentin Smarandache]] :-)
