Calling Wikipedians (esp admins)

[matgb]

sammymorse has had his account suspended for no sane reason and could do with some help getting it back.

I've not even got a Wiki account, let alone admin priviledges, but I know a fair few reading this use the place a lot; I've met him a few times, and can definitely vouch that he is who he says. Suckpuppets are annoying, but this isn't the way to deal with it.

Anyone know why Hayden5650's "User talk" page has been, er, decidedly bowdlerized since Google last crawled it? Have a look at the 15 July cached version and the current version, both available from the top link at http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22hayden+armstrong%22+%22deletion+policies%22 at the time of publishing. The current version includes little outside his contretemps with sammymorse.

(I can't link directly to Google's cache, but I've saved a copy here (http://www.jpstacey.info/hayden/search.htm))

I don't know how Wikipedia works, or if this is right, but I've mentioned it to the news address @ El Reg.

Replying to my own comment again (sorry to both burkesworks and to you, matgb, but it looks like Hayden5650 got rid of all the bad stuff about him on 21 July (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Hayden5650&oldid=146211096). At least Wikipedia's history still works, even if there are people out there trying to revise actual history....

Ah don't worry about apologising; thanks for the updates and info; appears to have been sorted now but still quite worrying.
