In an earlier thread, someone alleged that the SMU Pres. was banned from Wikipedia. I've gathered some info from Admin, and here is what I've come up with:
VintageTrail said:
Are you saying that the SMU president isn't actually banned? How do you explain this then: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sharmauiuc#Blocked_for_sockpuppetry
I conclude:
First of all, the account in question is "Blocked," not banned, so you are factually incorrect.
Next, just because someone claims to be someone on the internet does not mean that it is their actual identity. VintageTrail, let me explain it in a way perhaps you WILL be able to understand: if my username was "Barack O," does that really mean that I am the president of the USA?
Now, it is very clear to me that looking at the "Talk" pages from both schools that CMU loves to play around in Wikipedia. You can see for yourself. Funny how this article regarding the murder of a CMU student is not CMU's Wikipedia page, Jersey City medical student killed in Curacao won local honors in science (see h t t p : / / w w w .nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2011/07/jersey_city_medical_student_ki.html)
