_wheel_war#Jimbo_as_the_ultimate _authority (as of May 30, 2007, 21:58 GMT), in
which Wikipedia editors and administrators warred over whether to permit a Wikipedia
user to identify himself as a pedophile on his Wikipedia user page. Jimbo ultimately cut
the debate short by removing the label and banning its return, and the Wikipedia arbitration
committee recognized Jimbo’s powers, subject to review by the Wikimedia Foundation’s
board of trustees, to pretermit what would otherwise be a decision handled
through other processes. On the other hand, Jimbo’s creation of a new Wikipedia article
for Mizoli’s Meats, a South African butcher shop, was deleted by a sysop twenty-two
minutes later, deemed manifestly unworthy of inclusion. See David Sarno, Wikipedia Wars
