Well, Ijust saw this exchange between Ryulong and him, which made me think he was formerly a Wikipedia editor. Then I remembered there was actually a Wikipedia editor who went by the name A Man in Black, an administrator, who was the subject of an arbitration case five years ago that led to him being stripped of his admin privileges iki/Wikipedia Arbitration/Requests/Case/ an ac Posts: 41 Joined: 24 Sep 2014 He pretty much confirms it in this tweet since the Wikipedia user A Man in Black stopped editing in 2009 due to that arbitration case https://archive today/AtFz Ryulong and him were partners in crime on a bunch of Pokémon stuff: iki/W kipedia:Administrators%27 noti ceboard/Archive60#Fr Bobabobab ia ser: Secret/Archive 18#1 ma ia wiki/User talk:A Man Black/Archive8#1m ssin a Sithlord Sabrina @SabrinaLianne 3h Turns out a-man-in-black is former wiki admin, desysopped for breaking multiple rules & buddies w/ Ryulong #GamerGate 793 ★87

He Who Has Not Been Named

Why wasn't ryulong's admin privileges stripped as well? Was he not involved in the pokemon articles? Someone should bring this up to Jimmy Wales. I'm sure he would love to take a look if he is currently unaware of this.

Forgive my ignorance about how Wiki's administrator policies work but if the privileges are stripped then how is ryulong still able to make a mess out of the GG article?

p.s. Is encyclopedia dramatica really that credible a source?
