This is the most diabolical scheme ever uncovered on Wikipedia! Jimbo Wales has long said that he is merely another editor in many... but upon exmaination of Wikipedia history it become apparent he operating mulitiple account to run Wikipedia is his sneakiest puppet master!

Review history..

  1. Jimbo Creates Arbcom
  2. Arbcom is powerful
  3. Jimbo Desires power as every one does
  4. Jimbo has a full at WMF staff to run each account
  5. If you run each individual you will find that each is WMF IP

Remember Jimbo is gonna come after me for this!!!!!! The Resident Anthropologist (talk)•(contribs) 02:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It seems The Resident Anthropologist is apologising for, ahem, "rather suddenly" announcing that a "long Wikibreak is necessary to get my affairs into order and to re-educate myself against making such drastic and blatently dishonest claims in future". Isn't that nice? Well, happy holiday! :) I wonder who will anthropologise in their absence. --candle•wicke 03:08, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is now apparent why I have respect for all of the users named, who I used to think were a bunch of decent people. Honestly, I would rather not have known. I miss my blissful ignorance. My76Strat (talk) 02:29, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Just like Jimbo to have socks! I'm disappointed with his behavior. :( Bejinhan talks 02:34, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's a cabal of one!...and there I was thinking it was really about six socking around at ANI.

Obvious case of WP:DUCK. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 03:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jimbo isn't going to like this, and he can always unblock you know.Jasper Deng (talk) 03:07, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reminder. Maybe I will have to embark on a long wikibreak as soon as possible. :) Dr.K. λogosπraxis 03:13, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, this is really bad for wikipedia's reputation. The only explanation I could think of is that this Jimbo Wells is not the real Jimbo Wells, but just an imposter. After all this Jimbo Wells was already blocked as an imposter on May 7,2007. Now we need to find the real one.--Mbz1 (talk) 03:17, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You forgot Willy on Wheels. (It's obvious if you just look at the evidence.) -- llywrch (talk) 05:40, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
