The details are incomplete because the information has been deleted from the
Knowledge database, but there are still edit summaries that confirm that the user did post Skyring's personal information. At one point in my research on this case, I read that this information included the address of where

That user contributes a lot to
Knowledge, and many people value his contributions. But should Knowledge have a class that are above common standards of decency? User:Skyring is trying to raise this issue, but his posts are repeatedly reverted and blocked by other Wikipedians (including admins)

Knowledge admins are clearly aware of what the user in question has done, but they have done nothing. That user continues to edit
Knowledge even though there has been no acknowledgement by him of his actions, or whether or not he thinks they should be acceptable, or whether or not he has resolved

Gronky, can you clean this list up? In not all of the above links is GNU/Linux being removed (though it is in most of them), and people might get the idea that you are (over)complaining about nothing. One problem is that any of the individual edits, taken alone, might be plausible as "clean up"
440:
If someone went looking for my identity and the address of where I sleep at night, and posted them on
Knowledge, I would hope that the wikipedia admins would consider banning that user. If that user admitted what they did, and said that it was not acceptable and that it should not happen again,

Yeh, he's funny. A recent GCC bug is a good example. Slashdot splashed a big headline about Linus saying on the linux-kernel list that the GCC developers were clearly braindead, but then you see the "other" Linus appear on the gcc-bugs list to point out, calmly and politely, what needs fixing:

Sorry, I'm totally trolling today. I saw your post on the free software article talk. It's funny how Linus
Torvalds does not "react calmly" to differences of opinion (I've seen him in person, he's really calm in groups, but in emails, whoosh!) and how Linux is really just Big Software run by a

I've had disagreements with that user before. Next time I disagree with him, will he try to find of where I live, and post my address on
Knowledge? Should I fear my anonymity being taken away by another wikipedian - and by this fear should I pander to and agree with that user from now on?
431:
Before being "Gronky", I had other usernames, but none lasted all that long. I wish my username was not "Gronky", but I picked that one night when I couldn't find a good username that wasn't already taken, and now I don't want to lose my edit history. So I'm Gronky.
263:"Licence" is the noun, "license" is the verb. This is true for UK, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and India. The only exception is the USA, and possibly the Philippines, where they use "license" for both the noun and the verb.
483:
I've just noticed that when another other admin told that user that he's abusing his admin power, he reverts the admins! (and then he locked his own talk page - making it impossible for that admin, or anyone else, to re-raise the deleted issue.)
126:
In 2007, with no consensus or support, one of the most active editors on
English Knowledge, alone, replaced hundreds of links to "GNU/Linux" with "Linux". People complained, but no one had a similar amount of time to undo his flood of edits.
137:
So, I encourage others to use the term "GNU/Linux" in
Knowledge and ignore the annoying hobby of that one wikipedian (who otherwise makes many positive contributions to Knowledge). At the same time, if you find editors abbrasive,
