Robert has ruined this wiki in the two years he has been admin, driving multiple users to cease editing.

He is an authoritarian who thinks far too highly of himself, and punishes people for petty things (sometimes for "mistakes" that weren't actually mistakes).

Firstly, I'm not "Bob". You've been told that already, but you continue to show disrespect.

On the larger issues, what you are saying is false. The Gerontology Wiki continues to gain stream and grow as those who are here have chosen to share the vision for the Gerontology Wiki, which includes the idea to model this similar to Wikipedia but with a notability guideline that is focused on supercentenarians.

When it comes to "No Original Research", I've made it more than clear: we use the policy definition that Wikipedia uses.

[]

Your editing in quite a number of areas, such as alleged Civil War veterans, flagrantly violated the "No Original Research" policy. We are not talking about just "skirting" it...you went so far as to draw conclusions as to the last Civil War veterans that were not found in any reliable sources but had been published here first...by you...on the Gerontology Wiki. If you are unable to comprehend "No Original Research", then loss of editing privileges through appropriate blocking is necessary.

Further, your trying to distract from your misbehavior and failure to follow the rules isn't working. It's not just here. You were banned at the 110 Club and several other groups, including for such insulting behavior as wishing the death of other people. While it's good to have some degree of independent thought and spirit, that has to be balanced out with the rights of others...something you apparently have not learned.

I will have more to say as it's clear that there are more issues in your above rant: including ad hominem personal attack, disrespect, and not understanding or having tact about anything...for example, why are you attempting to discuss Guinness World Records, Gerontology Research Group, or even Japan's MHLW policy here? This is the Gerontology Wiki, not any of those other institutions.

You also fail to understand that no "system" is perfect and that's not a reason to not have one. Weather predictions are sometimes off by a bit...it doesn't mean we shouldn't have weather forecasting or study. This is an example of your failure to understanding deeper concepts such as ratio and proportionality.

And when you say things like "just because people give you titles doesn't mean you've earned anything"...is clearly fallacious. When people bestow titles of honor, and/or titles are earned, it's a sign of respect. It's quite hypocritical that you have this notion that you should be the one deciding these things, when clearly YOU ARE NOT A RELIABLE SOURCE OR AN AUTHORITY. Now, perhaps you have some investigative ability, but you have to learn how to turn that into something positive and useful. Being able to hit good shots on a practice court doesn't make you a tennis professional. Neither does being able to make a good informal genealogical investigation make you a professional.

Perhaps one day, you will learn to harness the clear talents that you negate through your negative, destructive attitude. But I won't be holding my breath, and neither will the Gerontology Wiki. That you ended your rant with "no regards" demonstrates your level of immaturity and pique.Ryoung122 (talk) 05:14, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
