What Mental Breakdown Of a Wikipedia Moderator looks like

In 2015 an anonymous user reported that one of Wikipedia’s oldest administrators...had been posting tens of thousands of pages on...Milkers.

This is their story

Reddit recap of the trial

Thank you to Barely Sociable/Slightly Sociable/Barely Musical for the idea

I've been asking someone to make a video about this topic for some time.


Bravo 🤣👏

Edit iirc: the reason he did this was after he saw some chick breast feeding. He wrote like an incredibly creepy article about her.

Apparently if was longer than like the dalai lama’s article and it was just some random d-list celeb.

My favorite Wikipedia controversy was the high school kid that wrote hundreds of articles in Scots, only to be found out later that he didn't speak the language.

Can you imagine your entire legacy just being a Wikipedia mod that redirected people to the word titty over 80 000 times

I was banned from Wikipedia edits by a moderator who claimed my username “catfarts” was intentionally offensive. Never mind that I only ever made corrections in good faith and typically regarding errors that could impact public safety and nobody else has ever found it offensive. FWIW, I was trying to correct the boiling point of a toxic chemical (directions for synthesis were in the article) because it was stated to be 60 C when it is in fact 6 C meaning it would boil off to highly poisonous vapor at room temperature

Neelix actually created so many bogus redirects that a new speedy deletion category had to be made specifically for redirect pages created by him.

I'm convinced that Neelix's brain was taken over by an inter-dimensional alien that can only communicate in "boobie puns".

Reddit mod?
Nah
I am a Wikipedia admin

[irdmoose]

Thank you for keeping us abreast of the situation.

Some clarifications, from a Wikipedia veteran:
1. Most (I'd say over 80%) of the 1, 100ish admins were given their role 8 years or earlier, when admin standards were somewhat lower. Judging from the Xtools stats, Neelix was actually quite an average admin, perhaps above average.
2. They weren't "allegations": pretty much everyone could see these edits from users' contributions, logs, etc. most of which are public.
3. Neelix didn't have his rights taken away, rather he took his _own_ admin rights away on BN.

+Update: Since this video's release, Neelix has been indef-blocked and banned for sockpuppetry. :O

You are absolutely bugging for not thinking "a trip down mammary lane" wasn't the funniest one

[danko]

It's super weird when people we trust suddenly can't be trusted

[ladonglejones]

"Booby Builder" is absolute poetry

[neetenshi]

Would making a video about this count as milking the subject?

[grabs_you]

this isn't disturbing, this is hilarious. obviously inappropriate, but hey, everything is bound to happen at some point in time.

I have nothing but respect for the Mammary Man.

[Orincaby]

Neelix's account has been terminated.
He lives on only in our mammaries. 😂

There was one time in 8th grade I posted a hand drawing of my favorite character to the character’s Wikipedia page. They took it down and I re-uploaded it, and we went back and forth like that for like a month or something. It was a fun time

[SavageGreywolf]

the fact that this guy named himself after the most hated character in Star Trek history says tons about him

[georgerendell]

“A trip down mammary lane” is fucking fantastic
