I love you Philipp :) I think I'd like to translate this one into Polish... |
I have to admit, Philipp, this is a rather good piece.
Now why don't you delete these pages:

As you may recall, you played a key role in getting my bio restored on Wikipedia in October 2005, after I managed to get it taken down for an entire week. You did this by publicly complaining to Jimmy Wales on his talk page.
Once you did that, it took me until June 2007 to get Wikipedia to delete that bio. Now I consider you to be one of those "Wikipedia scraper sites" that ought to follow suit, thereby helping Wikipedia reverse the poor judgment it demonstrated two years ago.
Today, thanks to my battle but no thanks to you, Wikipedia has rules in place that restrict the content in biographies of living persons.

I was thinking something similar, but to spanish. Very funny! |

Hmm, what about the guest post I invited you to have here, even after you decided to publish my home address on your "shame" page (not that I mind actually, my address is no secret)?

By the way, your name is currently redirected to a rather extensive article on Wikipedia titled "Public Information Research" which also contains info on you. In any case, I will delete my longer quotes from Wikipedia, now that Wikipedia removed them. (Might be possible though that editors at Wikipedia decide one time you are a person of public interest, in that case, encyclopedia articles often appear, e.g. the article on you cited info – public, not private info, btw – from the New York Times.) |
<<thereby helping Wikipedia reverse the poor judgment it demonstrated two years ago.>>
Surely the judgement was correct if no such rules existed at the time and thus voiding your issue. If WP Administrators were following the guidelines they were meant to follow, it was at no fault of their own but instead the overall community for not updating and agreeing new rules. |
Yeah, I love those dataminers. Love 'em so much I wrote myself a 46k bookmarklet that lets "me" send 'em LOTS of good data. "I" use Google for at least two hours once a day (usually while I'm mowing the lawn or something). "I" like "me" so much I'm gonna build MORE "me's". Ooh, hey, I guess they'll ALL be being served ads based on "their" profiles--which in turn will be based on searches like....

pig-tailed hookers on tricycles

ROTFLMFAO!!! |
I felt like laughing, but urged myself to keep quiet so I won't get noticed. |
This would be good on http://theonion.com |

Thank you! This post was really IMPORTANT to me. Stumbled it. |
