 I suspect "Internet fraud" has a narrower definition. In any case, an IP
with a single edit removing information that someone else asked be removed
is not proof even of deception, let alone any definition of fraud. And as
convincing as LB's protests sound (and they do sound convincing), Risker
and other people with CU experience have declined to overturn or speak
against the block extension.

Good points carol and i would add that i dont trust the checkuser tool more 
than 50%. Its easy to fool, hard to read the data and interpret the results. 
90% of it is gut instinct and spotting vocal trends and writing style by the 
user. I have seen first hand that not only is it prone to error, but many in 
the community give it far more trust than it deserves.

How do you know?

For example, maybe there are secretly for profit, paid editors

Foundation scrutiny of the kind that some editors have
been promoting, sometimes for years.

GGTF has too many snoopy, boat rocking editors.
Getting rid of such editors allows them to continue to make
money without pesky snoops. If faking IPs helps discredit those
editors and get them blocked, so they can continue their
secret paid editing, that's fraud.

Or maybe someone who doesn't like GGTF or Lightbreather
paid someone $50 to fake the IP and Lightbreather-like
comments in order to cover their tracks.

Maybe there's someone making a good living faking
3 or 4 IPs a week in some topic area where some
organization wants to discredit some BLPs or
companies or even a whole nation.  So they flood
the topic area with socks from phony IPs
and then it's easy to claim new editors are socks
and get rid of them before they can learn
the ropes and deal with POV edits.

I'm sure there are all sorts of more examples
of what might be happening we could come up with.

 So don't claim there is no fraud when there could
be fraud going on...

Speculation on the monetary gain definition of fraud is lots of
fun. However,  we all know fraud has a wider meaning as
two dictionary definitions show.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fraud
1 a :  deceit, trickery; specifically :  intentional perversion of truth 
in order to induce another to part with something of value or to 
surrender a legal right

b :  an act of deceiving or misrepresenting :  trick
2. a :  a person who is not what he or she pretends to be : impostor; 
also :  one who defrauds :  cheat

b :  one that is not what it seems or is represented to be

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fraud?s=t
noun
1. deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, 
perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage.
2. a particular instance of such deceit or trickery: mail fraud; 
election frauds.
3. any deception, trickery, or humbug: That diet book is a fraud and a 
waste of time.

4. a person who makes deceitful pretenses; sham; poseur.

I think most people who were victim of some false
email pretending they engaged in obnoxous or
illegal behavior would say the email was a fraud
and the person who sent it was one too..

Those are some outlandishly unlikely scenarios, just as unlikely as you
being secretly an impersonator of the real Carol Moore hired to defame the
real Carol by getting banned on Wikipedia. As I said, outlandish and
unlikely. In the absence of evidence of fraud, concluding that fraud exists
("Let's call it what it is... Internet fraud") defies reason.

i say if you would attend,
the challenge is to organize one

the nice thing about glamcamp
was training; empowering editors to organize events;
it could start as a low cost, wikisalon, then move to editathon
(if you build some contacts with an institution)
does take some time, but the salons could just be "hey everyone, i'm
hanging out here at a regular time"

try it, nothing to lose.

Re: [Gendergap] a gender gap meet-up?

2014-12-01 Thread Sarah Stierch
Revisiting this thread after I had my tea (I keep reminding myself not to
send emails prior to caffeine intake)

1) Gender Gap conference or whatever re: Keiliana. That's cool. I'm down.
There are usually grants for people to travel to the conference - so
international people and those not in DC, look out.

2) I would like to see some action driven activities. Not just lectures,
and more focus on women/women-identifying people, presenting. The reason I
suggest a "Wikihack" is so we can edit together, celebrate together, and
feel like we left getting some things done - on talk pages or on content
pages. But not have to make it some type of formal edit-a-thon thing.

3) I think it would be super cool to organization WikiWomen/Gender Gap
meetups internationally on a semi regular basis - just for beers and sewing
and solidarity. We see meetup's all the time around the world and I notice
they are still male dominated. I think it would be cool. Perhaps we can
create a meet-up space on Wikipedia for WikiWomen (and those who identify
as such). I'm all down for hanging out with allies, but, I'd really like to
have a woman centric meetup, too.

2014-12-01 Thread Sarah Stierch
Yeah I was thinking about this the other day...during my fellowship I
tossed around the idea.

The diversity conference is well and good but I wanted to plan something
specific to editors/contributors. This would be more like a wikihack - we
work on projects - from editing Wikipedia to social media and the task
forces..action focused.

UC Berkeley would gladly host. But I don't have the capacity to plan
something like that and pay the rent these days...
