Wikipedia Editing Weirdness…

Just to satisfy my curiosity, I created a list of and traced all the anonymous IP addresses that have edited the Stephanie Adams page on Wikipedia in the previous 12 months. They are presented in chronological order, with the most recent addition at the bottom.

If a number of edits is mentioned, the number is specific to edits to her pages, not the member’s entire Wikipedia editing history. Due to spacing considerations, the term “Stephanie pages” is a reference to any Wikipedia page with edits or comments about Stephanie to other users, users’ talk pages, or other articles, not necessarily just residing on the main Stephanie Adams page.

    Most don’t seem to last long. I suspect you would find someone made an edit SA didn’t like in early December. Interesting how the last three all showed up on the same day…

    Ummmmm, no, the person editing the Stephanie Adams articles is not the person to whom you are referring. I removed your turboface website link because you are known to repeatedly spam that website on Wikipedia, and I see no reason to allow you to do that here.

    I’m the one who added your site to Wikipedia. Too bad it got pulled. I’m just a casual observer following from a distance.

    Here’s what you should do: Go to one of her appearances and get a photo with her, without introducing yourself. Then post the photo on your site. I’m sure she would love that!
