I'm not sure if this not-quite-an-administrator deserves to be written up for the book wiki. Despite generating a ton of content, he's not what I would call a "major figure". That means he hasn't strangled anyone on noticeboards or been arbitrated against or messed with policy pages. Apart from his
deranged obsession with model Emily Ratajkowski. I mentioned on the old WS forum he was building a monument to her and getting anyone who messed with it banned. He abuses process but is not doing it on an epic basis because he doesn't have an admin bit. Opinions are welcome.
PS: he's clearly an egomaniac.

Singora called him a "Megapedian" because he's so awesome in Singora's opinion. Tony gets noticed. I remember him from the kerfuffle over the Tretikov transcript. I think he had a reign of influence on The Signpost as well.

I remember his name coming up a few times on old WR. I know he had some kind of scandal that caused him to stop editing or at least lay low for awhile. I can't remember what it was about.

He quit The Signpost and may have done a short-term "retirement" from WP over the Tretikov transcript. He seemed sulky that he meant to get a transcript done, but someone else beat him to it on behalf of WP editors with hearing impairments. That's a crappy thing to get pissed off over.

No, I did NOT refer to Tony as a "Megapedian", nor do I consider him "awesome". Please STOP putting words into the mouths of other forum members, and STOP discussing other forum members.
Grow up and at least try to be a man. What the phuck is wrong with you?
@ Erirc. My username on Wikipedia was Singora. I wrote two featured articles and was banned for asking Blofeld if he's institutionalized. I'm happy to contribute to your forum (as I did to Auggie's), but not while this jerk Flip Flopped is a mod. I know of two other major content creators who feel the same.

Looks like Tony the tiger is... a real Wikipediot Nut ball.
This Wiki-fueled critter is typical of the the creatures that inhabit the Wiki-lake of bull shit.
There is no defending a basement dwelling Pillbug like this.
So as to add to the zoo of Wikipediot losers, and other generic nut balls
I submit for your consideration a certain wikipetiot
by the name off "OrangeMike"...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:OrangemikeMr. Michael James Lowrey. A real wiki-Thug on or off the grid.
See this for example...
https://onmilwaukee.com/buzz/articles/orangemike.htmlor this
http://www.otakusoftware.com/blog/2009/11/08/ive_got_99_problems_and_orange_mike_is_one/Wiki is full of shit like this.

Looks like I've mixed up Tony1, who you lauded over his self-help writing guides, and Tony the Tiger. This place focuses on criticizing Wikipedians and a lot of your writing was about how much you respect certain Wikipedians like Gerda, Tony1, and Casliber.

This is probably pointless but I order the two of you to get along.
Singora has the right to respect some WP people, and there is nothing wrong with it: some of them (not many!) deserve and have earned respect for doing good work. The problem comes in when they tolerate or even facilitate abuses. We need to point out and document when they do this, and pass it around so others see it; demonizing them doesn't work (believe me, I tried). IMO Cas Liber is the kind of editor they could use more of. He's a little cuckoo but you'd have to be cuckoo to spend
eleven years grinding Wikipedia content about Banksia plants, not to mention being an arbitrator for almost 3 years......

Do it; the Museum needs more semi-minor figures in it.
