- Eostrix (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) might be a sock puppet of Icewhiz
- RfA candidate blocked as sockpuppet by Arbitration Committee
- An RfA candidacy favored 123 to 1 was closed with the comment "This was unsuccessful due to the candidate being ArbCom blocked during the nomination process." Eostrix was blocked as a sockpuppet of Icewhiz during the RfA, though the Arbcom decision was not unanimous.
- Beeblebrox explained "This was a very determined, carefully planned attempt to fool the community, and it nearly succeeded, probably would have if it weren't for one particular committee member who doggedly pursued this for quite some time, although it obviously acquired a sense of urgency when the account ran for adminship."
- The community generally reacted with shock and thanks for Arbcom's vigilance. Few editors defended Eostrix or questioned the decision.
- Little or no public evidence on the guilt or innocence of Eostrix and Icewhiz has been available.
- The Signpost emailed Icewhiz for a response, which was evasive. They wrote that they would neither deny nor confirm the sockpuppeting allegations or even whether they edit Wikipedia at all. The Wikilawyer-like tone of the two Icewhiz reponses and even some exact wording matched extensive email discussions between Icewhiz and The Signpost conducted in 2019.
- Several editors asked whether candidates for adminship should automatically be checked for socks on the theory that we can't risk having a long-term abuser become an admin. Worm That Turned and others expressed horror that editors' privacy could be violated so routinely, until it was shown that checkuser data was used by stewards to verify election results. Thereafter the objections focused on arguments that checkuser data wouldn't have helped discover the socks in this particular case, and then to a statistical argument that CU data doesn't help in any case where there is no prior evidence of sockpuppetry. – S

About the Wikipedia toxic environment
Civility is part of Wikipedia's code of conduct and one of its five pillars
Community Health - it would be good if the community environment could change https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Community_health_initiative/Blocking_tools_and_improvements#What_this_discussion_is_about
Current topics http://wikipediocracy.com/forum/search.php?search_id=active_topics
An Essay about editors who are apparently "The Unblockables"
WP:HARASS Hounding and harassment
Hmmm. Here is an essay about arguments to avoid in discussing whether to delete an article or not. Wikipedia has essays upon essays. And here is the policy concerning deleting articles.
From August 2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1044#Personal_attack_by_EEng
The issue of which was EEng commented on an idiot who said "there really is no good reason to have a "no medical advice policy", as there isn't actually a problem to be solved. Medicines and potentially dangerous treatments are kept under lock and key. We cannot prescribe medicines as the WMF doesn't operate a pharmacy."
Multiple previous blocks and warnings over personal attacks.
- "WTF? Count, my vague recollection of you is that you don't usually say idiotic things. But what you just said is idiotic."[1][2][3]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Civility/Archive_20#expand
An RfC discussion in 2018 concerning a "Request for comment on the specific term "fuck off" – sanctionable or not!" Should the "repetitive usage" of the term "fuck off" by an editor targeted at other editors be considered "sanctionable"?
In reading this RfC, don't forget about George Carlin's Seven Dirty Words whether they also apply or whether pigs have wings.
- Strangely this discussion "devolved" (or maybe evolved) into a discussion about what words EEng (who is a clever wag) can use to describe his sexuality.
- Here is an essay about profanity in the Wikipedia World
- Seem that perhaps this issue involves possible Wikipedia instruction/guidance creep WP:CREEP Osomite hablemos 22:49, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- You know, there are "work environment"s and there are "work environment"s. Not every work environment is a coal mine, or a lawyer's office, or a library, or a deep state security agency. There are plenty of work environments where people work easily and well together, and respect each other's feelings, but are able to share jokes and pleasantries and social talk without generating lawsuits and headlines. When I hear someone say that Wikipedia is a "work environment", it seems to be the other kind they're talking about, Scrooge's office with Bob Cratchit afraid to clear his throat. Let's lighten up, people, and not act as if our voluntary social project is building the A-bomb. There's nothing wrong with cracking a joke or even occasional light cursing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:03, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- And further down, an editor comments that the Wikipedia work environment is an "anhedonic Dickensian crosspatch". (The definition of Anhedonia is the inability to feel pleasure. It's a common symptom of depression as well as other mental health disorders.)
- And further down: Oh for fuck's sake. At the risk of annoying Floquenbeam, I'm going to pile on here with yet another unoriginal joke and a big fat eyeroll at this idea. First of all, it's hard to imagine such a proposal being made for any reason other than wanting a handy stick to beat some hapless other editor with. Second, it's weirdly constructed - "repetitive usage" of the phrase "yard flamingo" where it's not contributing to the topic would also be annoying and disruptive and ultimately "sanctionable", and even by the proposal's own logic we'd allow at least one "fuck off", in which case what the hell is the point? Third, once it gets voted down, that fact itself becomes a stick to beat the community with - "see how awful Wikipedians are, they couldn't even agree not to tell each other to fuck off!" We have a far bigger problem with "incivility" that requires none of the seven words you can't say, and it usually takes the form of something like "Howdy friend! I was reading that thread at ANI where you called User:CompleteIdiot an idiot and I know I'm not in any way involved in the situation and you have 100 trillion edits and he edited an article you wrote to say green jellybeans cure cancer but I just wanted to make sure to remind you that WP:CIVIL is a policy! See, I've helpfully bluelinked it for you! It applies even to obvious POV-pushers, you know. Just a friendly reminder for the future :) :) :) Wouldn't want to have to take you ANI or anything!" I don't think anyone's ever stopped editing just because of a "fuck off" - it may be the least-followed instruction in the English language - but people sure do stop editing because they feel that their contributions are disrespected, and sometimes they never really get started because their early, newbish attempts get them a bunch of condescending talk-page templates (all of which say, in stuffy, officious bureaucratese, "fuck off"). Here's a crazy idea: if somebody who isn't a troll tells you to fuck off, you are required to spend at least five seconds considering the possibility that you were in fact being a jerk, and at least five more seconds on the idea that maybe the outburst wasn't about you at all and was a one-off displaced reaction to bad drivers/annoying coworkers/unexpected in-law visits/bills/general life stress, and only then do you get to waste everyone else's time complaining about it. Opabinia regalis (talk) 06:06, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- And EEng comments "This is the best comment in the entire thread." EEng 12:32, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
- OMG! EEng makes a request: "Comment I'd like to see the discussion expanded to cover the cases of "sod off", "bugger off", "go soak your head", and "your mother wears army boots". EEng 16:56, 28 October 2018 (UTC)"
