Wikipedia:Account suspensions/Boothy443

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I blocked Boothy443 for having a very offensive link on one of his user pages. This caused me a fair amount of embarassment as I clicked on it in a work environment. I have no idea what the policy is, so I only blocked him for 17 seconds. But I think admins should hold themselves to a high standard of professionalism.--Jimbo Wales 19:59, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"A professional works to receive payment for an activity." Boothy443 isn't acting appropriate for his pay grade of nuthin' per hour? 17 seconds? This is dry humor, right? 4.250.168.27 18:58, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
If you're curious about what the link is, it's Last Measure. --SPUI (talk) 21:02, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, wait a bit... Admin? This is the second person I've seen claiming Boothy443 is an admin, and yet he's not on WP:LA. What's going on? --cesarb 23:25, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
He isn't. Compare [1] to e.g. [2]. Pakaran 18:16, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Any reason not to block him for a month or so? He's been trolling and disrupting Wikipedia for a long time now. — Dan | Talk 06:35, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No objections from me. Jtkiefer T | @ | C ----- 06:40, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
Object. Take him to the ArbCom if you believe he's such a problem. As far as I know he does a lot of good work; I remember seeing him doing RC patrol quite a bit. Everyking 07:00, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: agree with Everyking's comments. --tomf688<TALK> 16:54, August 25, 2005 (UTC)
I have no objection, but from what Jimbo said on User talk:Boothy443 today, it sounds like he's at risk of the wrath of Jimbo. Anyway, it is really really really uncool to use edit summaries to insult Jimbo.

ArbCom would be fine. I've heard his name pop up more than one time in the past, so maybe ArbCom would be able to handle this appropriately. Linuxbeak | Talk | Desk 20:44, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Er, Wikipedia is not censored. If you are browsing Wikipedia at work, aren't you accepting this kind of risk? --Ryan Delaney talk 23:42, 4 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
