Franklin Wiki Page ( pizzagate )

submitted by pbvrocks

Expanding on this latest post https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1703692 ...

The post mentions the Franklin scandal wiki page and suggests we look at the "talk" tab..which I did. The talk section is moderated and the previous post mentions that the moderator is a former Bush official...

There is only 1 user who is moderating this forum. A search does not give you much..however, a little digging lead to this...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:WLRoss/Sandbox2

Which appears to be a sandbox where WLRoss was constructing arguments to use about Franklin and other scandals??? WTF?? Also mentions 911 moderator??

Do I really need to specify how this is related to pizzagate? (Some mods deny very VALUABLE posts due to ticky dot rules..sure we have all had it happen...)...

Sorry in the last page i used the term moderator wrong. The person who I mentioned isnt a moderator, I just assumed he was one... I dont know how wikipedia works, so I apologize. the guy's name is MONGO who worked (to the best of my knowledge) for the bush jr administration.

Dorfaladin

Read his comments... the things he says, and the control he wields over the article is strange to say the least.

Here is prior work on how the page looked before it was scrubbed https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1559814

Shows the whole history of the whitewashing.

WLRoss looks like the good guy, he fought hard using Wikipedias own rules, and still lost the battle. He was a longtime user, and knew what he was doing by all appearances. He doesn't really edit much anymore. Don't know if it's related, but finding out how unfair and biased Wikipedia is, and that the rules are utter bullshit if they get in the way of wiki's Orwellian purpose, can make an editor retire out of frustration. (Source: personal history)

The moderator of the page unofficially (since ther is not supposed to be such a thing) is mongo and the prior one was the Windslow character.

Dorfaladin

I might be wrong, but that MONGO character is the guy I was talking about. Can anyone verify that he worked for george w bush?

V____Z

I'm not sure how that could be clarified. How would one know MONGOs real life identity?

Dorfaladin

yeah couldnt get much more out of his nick name. I just wish more people would try to edit that wikipage... in opposition to how they constantly hover over it and edit it. Maybe it would gain more visibility and people would take some notice.

i tried in vain a few years ago. Made some changes but wasn't able to mention the documentary. Final reason was that youtube wasn't a reliable source.

...

It seems that the only sources quotable besides peer reviewed papers are WP, NYT, Daily Kos, HuffPost... the usual suspects. Thats messed up man.

Holy shit, this could be amazing, have you tried talking to him?

I'm a big fan of wading into talk pages of contentious articles and not super well-versed in how other pages work.

That being said, reading this, it reads like the person who wrote it is very pro-franklin scandal i.e. they don't like the current page.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but he seems to find Phoenix and Winslow to be antagonizers and is just retelling how he thought he got railroaded by Wikipedia.

OHHHH forget it. WLRoss isn't the moderator of that forum. I'm an idiot.
