The admin who summarily closed the conflict-of-interest report explains his motivation as follows:
« You can't amass 130,000 edits, as Philip Cross has, without being reasonably
committed to Wikipedia. You'd be noticed if you were an agenda account with
that many edits. And being attacked by RT and George Galloway is a reasonably
reliable indicator that you are doing something right. »

This doesn't inspire much confidence in me, because obviously it _has_ been widely noticed that "Philip Cross" is an agenda account (and it seems it was noticed already almost a decade ago: http://neilclark66.blogspot.co.uk/2008/11/wally-of-week-philip-cross.html http://neilclark66.blogspot.co.uk/2008/11/wally-of-week-phil... )

- bscphil 8y ago>And being attacked by RT and George Galloway is a reasonably reliable indicator that you are doing something right That is an absolutely astonishing statement and IMO something you should immediately lose admin privileges for making. I have no love for RT or for Syria sympathizers, but to defend someone's edits on the mere basis that they are opposed by those groups is completely unacceptable.
