"You should see the following comments. He's threatened to kill me. Says he's an ex-MI and has killed 300 people in his life. > What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I..." - Jason A. Samfield

"That I inspired a raid? You mean I asked people in another subreddit that know of the object, know of the lay of the land to help explain that it is indeed a photo? I really don't understand why you think it's a raid." - Jason A. Samfield

"> re: I would appreciate an explanation. > from someguyfromcanada sent 2 minutes ago > I have three degrees from major universities, earn six figures, many properties, was covert MI for a decade and have kept all my limbs. I have three massive properties and work with disabled veterans, abused animals and homeless youth in my spare time. I also help little bitches like you across the road. I recognize paintings because I have been to every major museum in the world and have worked with some of the worlds best photographers. I could bench press you and everything you own. > Go away. All over that shitty postcard. Are you that proud?" - Jason A. Samfield

"Well good luck in denial. I didn't know all hand-colored photographs were not allowed. That leaves a lot of history out of /r/HistoryPorn. That's fairly ironic." - Jason A. Samfield

"Maybe. I'll await the mods replies before going to admin. In fact, I was banned from /r/politics because of my political views and outcry about the lack of freedom of speech in there, but I didn't go to an admin. I figured either the ban might expire at some future point, I could go without the cesspool that is /r/politics or that my suggestions that generic subreddits should be overturned to the public at large rather than a specific group of individuals as is the case with all subreddits now (they are essentially private businesses and the moderators have the right to do whatever they want)." - Jason A.

"Yeah, they aren't being very nice. However, their claim is that it's not a photograph when in fact it is. Apparently, that's where the confusion happened. Maybe they will change their mind, maybe they won't. Who knows." - Jason A. Samfield

"That subreddit was archived a long time ago. By the way, I could not respond to anything in the thread once I was banned, but it is a hand-colored photo (hence the confusion of the moderator). I personally thought that he meant because it was a photo of a postcard that he wouldn't allow it." - Jason A. Samfield

jason-samfield on Wikipedia is a superior encyclopedia mostly for it's sheer depth and breadth in topics as well as it's interconnectedness, ease of checking sources, and the numerous eyes that moderate the pages. - http://www.reddit.com/r...
"But the original assertion is that Wikipedia is a superior encyclopedia not omniscient nor perfect. No encyclopedia could achieve such omniscience short of something transcendent. In any case, my point stands unless you can change my view that it's not a superior encyclopedia." - Jason A. Samfield

"Is it there now? And do you have proof that it was up there for 2 days? Also, when did this occur? Also, nothing much incorrect or that is biased will persist for very long (given the topic and relative relevancy)." - Jason A. Samfield

"That's not the neutral tone that is required by Wikipedia and maintained by everyone that contributes to it though. If someone does otherwise, it is quickly reverted and changed into a neutral tone.

"But that sort of vandalism/editorializing won't persist. It's against the foundations of the encyclopedia. It must have a citation or the information will be edited to say such. Also, it will be brought up on the talk (discussion) page where everyone (many people per popular subreddits) will discuss the specific change. If the change was performed by a random individual with no Wikimedia account, it lists their IP address and the discussion group will investigate to see whether or not it should be changed back or if the change is reasonable. Also, all of this can happen rather fast. View the hint.fm graphs to see. The watchlist alerts individuals the moment a page is changed (with an option for minor versus major changes). And an individual is always prefaced with an explanation for their change. If it was changed incorrectly or purposefully to editorialize or otherwise deface the compendium somehow (i.e. distorted revisionism), then it's very likely the discussion group (stewards of..." - Jason A.
