Hi Deloitte.
 
 
Can you please explain your rationale for [http://mywikibiz.com/index.php?title=Talk:Criticism_of_crowdsourcing/Archive_1&diff=72006&oldid=71825|this redaction]? 
 
 
Thanks.

I redacted a defamatory and libelous personal attack since the talk pages are crawled by google. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=%22andy+lehrer%22+homeontherange+mywikibiz
 
<P>
 
Probviouac was using MyWikiBiz' talk pages to perpetuate a personal vendetta he seems to have after he was banned from Wikipedia and Wikipedia Review for "outing" people and engaging in personal harassment apparently on behalf of SlimVirgin. - see http://mywikibiz.com/Talk:Criticism_of_crowdsourcing/Archive_1#.22Krimpet.22_coverup "The reason this was covered up is very likely that "Krimpet", like "Poetlister" and "Homeontherange," opposes SlimVirgin (an actual woman, not a tranvestite as per the Review's staff) and Jayjg.Proabivouac 03:53, 13 October 2008 (PDT)"
 
<P>
 
This sort of thing might end up being a problem for MyWikiBiz since having personal attacks on talk pages is inconsistent with being about to "author your legacy" etc. You might want to consider removing talk pages from the google crawl in order to prevent this problem in the future.
 
<P>
 
BTW, Probviouac has vandalized my user page, if I can use that term http://mywikibiz.com/index.php?title=User:Deloitte&diff=prev&oldid=72068
 
<P>
 
For some reason I can't edit http://mywikibiz.com/User:Deloitte - can you please remove his post?
 
<P>
 
Thanks

Calling someone "corrupt", "dishonest" etc is defamatory and libellous. Also, the use of real names in this context is harassment and may have real life implications which speak to damages. I'm sure if some posted "[Moulton's real name here] is a corrupt and dishonest wikipedia sockpuppeteer... etc" you would agree, particularly if a current or prospective employer were to google your name and find that.
 
 
Besides, those sorts of attacks are at counterpurposes with the objective of MyWikiBiz which is to allow one to "author your legacy". [[User:Deloitte|Deloitte]] 14:08, 26 October 2008 (PDT)
 
 
:Corrupt practices are unscrupulous or unethical practices.  Have you asked Proabiviouac what aspects of your practices he considers unscrupulous, unethical, corrupt, or untruthful?
 
 
:I don't know your history on Wikipedia, but my experience with the site is that corruption is rampant and accuracy is in short supply. Ethical editors who promote accuracy tend not to last very long at Wikipedia and related sister project sites.

I don't really care what of my behaviour (real or alleged) Tim considers "corrupt", it's not his call, particularly when he has allied himself with administrators such as Jayjg and SlimVirgin who are almost universally considered "corrupt" by wikipedia critics and particularly when he himself has engaged in "sockpuppeting". In any case, in the real world the term corrupt implies some sort of financial misconduct, bribery etc. I understand that it's used as hyperbole but I don't appreciate having my real name linked to the word and I think it's quite clear how it would be libellous. Certainly if someone posted "Barry Kort is dishonest and corrupt" on a website and it creeped into your google rankings you would not be pleased - particularly if you were applying for jobs in an era where employers increasingly "google" prospective employees.
 
<P>
 
When people get into these ridiculous online fights they have to remember that there is a real person at the other end who lives in the real world and has real concerns and that using hyperbolic language against them may have real life implications particularly when you "out" them by using their real name.
 
<P>
 
I thought you were some sort of administrator or something and could actually "fix" the problem. If you're just interested in engaging in some sort of theoretical discussion then it makes more sense for me to just talk to Gregory or another admin directly.
 
<P>
 
But please, have enough respect for my privacy not to post my email address (as you did initially) or my email without permission.
 
<P>
 
And frankly, Tim is being incredibly hypocritical. It seems he objects to the fact that somebody (not me) referred to him as "Timothy Usher" at some point on wikipedia (this because his previous account was User:Timothy Usher - Proabivouac was his sockpuppeting account). For him to object to being outed and then proceed to out me by using my real name is completely hypocritical.
 
</blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote>
 
::You may not care, but I care, since you contacted me about the issue.
 
 
::I have already defined ''corrupt'' for you as some variant of unethical or unscrupulous practice, such as using one's administrative powers to disadvantage or disempower an editor with whom one has an editorial disagreement.
 
 
::I am not an administrator who can fix anything.  I am a scientist and academic who researches and writes about cyberspace cultures and communities.
 
 
::Please understand that if you contact me to ask me to investigate some aspect of online culture, I am going to interpret that to mean you are asking for a scientific review of the cultural phenomenon that you are raising to my attention.  It is my custom to acknowledge the role of other scholars who influence my work.  It is also my custom to publish my findings.

Welcome!


Hi Deloitte, welcome to MyWikiBiz. We're happy that you've taken the steps to become a member of our site. MyWikiBiz is a directory where any person, any company, any product, or any thing can author their own legacy. We seek to provide the space for 265 million entities. Our registered editors like you have generated over 60,000 pages so far -- help keep that number growing with an article about yourself, your business, your industry, your favorite product, hobby, or organization. Since 2008, MyWikiBiz.com has served up over 1 million page views. Get started authoring your legacy today!

Helpful tips

Here are some tips on how to create a Directory listing and take advantage of the semantic web features we have in place:

  • You may write as an opinionated advocate in the Directory -- neutral view is not required. You can sell products, promote videos, upload documents, even host your own Google AdSense ads. This auto-fill form will guide you through creating a very basic directory listing right now.
  • Because MyWikiBiz supports Semantic Web technology, search engine results are highly optimized. Internal searches can also be performed that wouldn't be possible on Google, MySpace, or Wikipedia.

A few favorite pages that might help acquaint a new user with the possibilities are found among the Demonstration links, or in these articles written by independent reviewers.
