English Wikipedia User Lir: Difference between revisions

'''English Wikipedia User Lir''' is one of [[Wikipedia]]'s most notorious trolla among its sysops and one of its number one idols to members of the [[Wikipedia red faction]]. Perhaps most famously, Lir ran for Arbitration Committee, in an extremely provacative move, making deadly serious calls for bans of [[Wikipedia User Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]], [[Wikipedia User Angela|Angela]] and [[Wikipedia User Hephaestos|Hephaestos]], among various others. His logo in the election was the word CABAL crossed out. According to Lir's supporters, the Cabal was virtually finished up to this point. But just weeks after Lir's loud but extremely unsuccessful campaign, the Arbitration Committee banned him for his deliberately provocative trolling. He continues to attempt rejoining Wikipedia as sockpuppets, for which the sysops are forever vigilant. [[English Wikipedia User Snowspinner|Snowspinner]] once admitted his assumption that any disruptive edit from Lir's small Iowa ISP was probably Lir.
