ST. LOUIS--
R.K. Jamesson, MD, here, with a special report from my close friend Dr. Lauzon, about the TERRIBLE state of "Wikipedia"!
Luna,
This is such a long tale of lies and confused "WIKI's" ("JesseW" & "Netsnipe").
Luna, I was blamed and called a Vandal, and asked for mediation, as I did NOTHING wrong as I am a very respectful man ...a man of 60 years old, an ordained minister who tried to get all of the information that I needed to edit for "Wikipedia" and was jumped on and blocked.
One time the Administrators decided that I was "collateral Damage" as I only tried an editorial expansion on:"Powder Metallurgy", and this is not a subject that can be written in a day or two, as I started learning Metallurgy from a smitty and I write so as to reach as many people that I can to gain the largest audience for a subject that noone would purposedly run to look up, and I put my heart into is and put down what I remembered as a story, which, I realize now that I should have stuck to just encyclopedic wording and "wiki - markup", but, as I was learning "(X)HTML" [Transitional HTML 4.1], and I bought books and CD's and an expensive program to teach me the courses that I needed to know, as wikipedia did put out a "Cheatsheet" which showed the "wiki" markup desired and the HTML allowed, so , I used it and
"Netsnipe" called me down and kept me Blocked indefinately, so as the Apostle Paul said in Rome as he was a Roman citizen: "I appeal to Caesar"!., meaning the higher-up's that could look at this subjectively and get these people off of my back.
Mr. LUNA, "JesseW" blocked me when my wife and I were not even at home, and when I take my wife on vacation, we do not bring our work with us, so I did NOT edit anything during the times that "JesseW" Blocked me for editing two words that were mispelled, and for an Enclycopedic entity, I felt that the request to "find things and fix them applied"...I fixed the misspelled words including "JesseW"'s "applogize" to "A~P~O~L~O~G~I~Z~E", apparently an error on my part as "JesseW" blocked me as a Vandal again.
After several appeals to be unblocked..."Mr. Netsnipe" declared that "I messed up all of the pages that I edited and the administrators have a difficult time cleaning up after me!" I am credited with two editorials when I only did ONE!
After I changed a misspelled word on a page called "Raymond Franz" . "Raymond Franz" was on the "Governing Body" in the organization of "Jehovah's Witnesses" and the article was interesting so I read it, but I ran into two times or every time that the article said that Mr.Franz made no "DEFENCE"..... for himself (which was a very wise thing for him to do as I have been one of Jehohah's Witnesses (The proper way to refer to "One of Jehovah's Witnesses" rather than saying :"he was a Jehovah-Witness" totally wrong grammar and diction), for 36 years and I felt that an "Encyclopedic publication editor, MUST pick off these mis-spellings as is the editor's job and is told to do by "Wikipedia's" upper Administrators...they want "things FIXED", or so they say!~!~!
I fixed the two "defences" to read "defenses", the proper spelling, and there was no upsetting of any links or stubs ...just two words that any first day editor would pick up as wrong and to be fixed by putting the abbreviation :"SP" in the left margin. Then, the writer would see where he was wrong and HAD TO correct his errors.
Well, "Mr.Netsnipe" went on a verbal rampage, and bawled me out about using the "HTML" which "WIKIPEDIA's" Cheatsheet" that I had siad I could use, and "Mr.Netsnipe" called out two tags that I used:"<blockquote> and <i>" for italics"...he said I was wrecking the articles...plus under "My contributions" there are two topis which I supposedly had written, for which I was blocked..."Jehovah's Witnesses" and the ultra difficult physics/chemistry/science /profession of Metallurgy, which was my first...any others are gone, deleted, moved...I don't know where they are, but there is no mention of "Maria Karnilovava", which I did about a year ago, which I could not believe as she was the songstress and actress in "Fiddler on the Roof" as Tevya's wife and she was the writer of "If I were a Rich Man" which I wrote the whole "Biddy-biddy-bum" and daidle-daidle-dum" in the lyric
s of the musical, and she was also awarded an Oscar for the part of Golde, Tevya's wife in the Broadway/Movie musical.
Not understanding why she was just overlooked...WHY? Because she is very reclusive and she was born under another name and had about 12 aliases, which I had found out researching her, and I still am researching her as she has too many Czechoslovakian names, though born in Conn....she died in 2001 and was known for many more works...I have been researching her as there is not all of the best work that she had done in "Wikipedia"..so, I know now why it was NOT covered...IT WAS ALL TOO DIFFICULT...as the research was never undertaken until I wrote it...although someone else took credit for "Maria Karnilova", by signing their name to my work...PLAGURISM in the worst degree!...I have all of the paperwork right here. CROOKS!..There is NO HONOR in plagurism.
My Dear Mr.Santin, I have no idea where these administrators get off treating a new person as they have treated me, as I am only learning, and as requested, I tried to be BOLS, as is my nature anyway, and the administration is advised to "NOT SCARE THE NEWCOMERS OFF", which of course, they did!~!~!
I am no longer writing to "wiki" as I only get the same treatment and anyway, "Netsnipe" told me not to email anymore...well, I do NOT really care about his desires to cover up what discriminations they have pulled off on me, but, if this is the standard for"wiki" then remove my name from "THIS Publication" , it is an embarrassment to be aligned with an organization who cares "0" about "Juris Prudence" !
