If you actually are Carolyn Doran, could you please confirm this on your userpage on the foundation site? Thank you, Prodego ^talk 18:59, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you all might like to know that Seand59, who edited this article a few hours ago (and was immediately blocked indefinitely for impersonating a Wikimedia staff member), is now known as Carolyn-WMF. Her account has been unblocked by Danny. She really does work for the Wikimedia Foundation.

The article at AmericanPolitics.com that was allegedly written by TJ Walker does not exist. Click on the link you provided. It's a blank page. I believe that Wikipedia has been the victims of a carefully crafted hoax. I contacted TJ Walker and asked him whether he authored the article. He said, "Of course not." He contacted AmericanPolitics.com and asked them to remove the article from their website. They complied immediately. Dino 21:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Danny. The warning above stands, though, because of this edit. I will undelete a photo Carolyn uploaded that I deleted after the indef block. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 22:06, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies, make sure to use an edit summary when removing text in the future, so that mistakes like these will not occur when you remove content. Again, I am sorry about the mistake, Prodego ^talk 22:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would you care to explain your edit to Free Republic

You left no edit summary whatsoever when you removed a sourced paragraph from that article. Somebody named Dino showed up and posted that there are "larger issues" and we should not restore that paragraph. Would you care to reveal what those are? This is a contentious article where people have shown up pretending to be various people they are not. --BenBurch 23:11, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please describe in which capacity are you editing Wikipedia? Do you act on behalf of WP:OFFICE? Note that some editors are restoring your edits based on the fact that you are employed by the Wikimedia Foundation. A clarification would be appreciated. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 23:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you got 'punked'

Please see the discussion on FR Talk. LINK The article by TJ Walker about Free Republic was definately written by TJ Walker, and found on his site. - Fairness And Accuracy For All 07:59, 16 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

phone call

why did you ask whether you can talk to my mother? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 01:44, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She's Gone

So did she quit voluntarily -- or was she fired? - unsigned

Is being in jail the same as quitting voluntarily ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.196.118 (talk) 02:28, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

why is this semi-protected? seems you can't use wikipedia from jail =/ riffic (talk) 07:22, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Since the WikiMedia Foundation chooses to not answer, we are left with unreliable sources like http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/12/13/wikimedia_coo_convicted_felon/ and are forced to guess. WAS 4.250 (talk) 15:50, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why exactly is the Register considered unreliable? Wjhonson (talk) 03:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Some people think they are a little tabloid-like in being biased towards presenting things in a sensationalist manner. WAS 4.250 (talk) 13:18, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
