You want a source for the fact that while on TV they can be seen scratching themselves and they often hit each other? That's a joke right?«»bd(talk stalk) 02:15, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] An appeal for help
Hi Deiz, this is about a case currently unfolding in the biography of Meher Baba. An Australian follower seemingly appaled from the mention of Peter Townsend started by deleting it. It was reverted, and in spite of continious personal attacks, things took the course of a straw poll for some agreement. Then there appeared 3 identities that seem to be the same user. Together with an editor who has contributed long term to the article, we have reported the case in Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Liam7 on the 4th of December. Yet there is a backlist to clear in investigations and things are going slow (no implied blame on busy admins). Personal attacks continue, somewhat milder now, and a whole comedy of a situation is developing on the talk page. In the meanwhile, we (me and user Cott12) are trying to work on the article as per the recent peer review (in my user namespace/sandbox) but we don't dare any edits on the main article until someone does something about the new editor. By the way the editor has removed the tags of sock puppet suspicion from his user page and all the suspected puppets. We removed the Townsend section in the hope this would calm things down, but this user seems to be in for a personal show. The Meher Baba followers are not in any way extreme people and their faith is one of the least biased and most philosophically inspired that I have come across (I could liken them to the Bahai faith people). The article history had no big arguments previously, apart from a mild discussion on the whether Baba's origins were Persian or Irani. This is a unique case. I'm not sure if it can be called "disruptive", but it is certainly draining at least 3 previous editors' energy and any further progress is not possible. Should we also apply for User Check? Is there anything that can be done to restore some peaceful atmosphere so we can start working on the peer review? Hoverfish 14:20, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- No frustration really, it's just like watching a new episode of Fawlty Towers but in the wrong place. OK, fair, thanks and happy editing. Hoverfish 14:59, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rick Kosick
The article was written by Jeff Tremaine and Dave Carnie, people who have worked closely with Kosick before. I have heard some of te other stories before (such as Tremaine buying his buddy breakfast every mornin at 7-11) so I am inclined to believe it. The story was also published in Skateboarder. - Ocatecir 02:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
- Point taken. I just read that Kosick grew up in Southern California, anyway. While it is still possible that he was born in the house, no other links can be found via google to support it and its best left out. Ocatecir 02:23, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

What are your thoughts on the 18 speed tranny spamming? Think it's worth nominating the URL for the pan-wiki spam blacklist? Deizio talk 23:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
