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.

(google cache of http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Comments/comments.html)

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.

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! http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ethnic_slurs ----- Dante Alighieri dalighieri-KgRVb285F3YM+ivGRdBiH9vLeJWuRmrY@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "The darkest places in hell are reserved for those who maintain their neutrality in times of great moral crisis." -Dante Alighieri, 1265-1321

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? kq __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Calendar - Free online calendar with sync to Outlook(TM). http://calendar.yahoo.com

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]] :-) Axel __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
