The Wikipedia user, who goes by the username “Bnguyen1114,” has made hundreds of edits to Harris’s page throughout the last several months, often getting into fights over the proposed edits with other Wikipedia editors, who pointed out that the language was getting pulled directly from press releases and campaign literature. “You seem to have gone through a database of press releases from Harris’s office, cataloging every single one and adding it to the article,” one Wikipedia editor said. “That is not how we write encyclopedic articles.”
Yes, Bnguyen1114 looks like a paid editor. A very incompetent one. (Drmies is still an idiot, though.)
Abuse like this happens on WP every day. What makes this situation "special" and deserving of media coverage?
What shit:
Are you affiliated with the Kamala Harris campaign in any way? If this is false please disregard this message but if it is true please refrain from editing the Kamala Harris wikipedia page due to a conflict of interest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GLIZZY GLADIATOR (talk • contribs) 21:30, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
I am not affiliated with the Harris campaign, but I do volunteer and attend Democratic events. I've met Josh Harder, Jill Biden, Julian Castro, and Kamala Harris. I am a California Democrat. I am not employed by the Harris campaign. Feel free to ask me anything you like. Bnguyen1114 (talk) 21:42, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
After the Intercept article, it appears someone is trying to connect you with a real-life identity. If you enable email through wikipedia, I'll email you a link to the doxxing tweet. Schazjmd (talk) 22:18, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
It’s not doxxing to report facts. 2601:3C3:580:4D0:2995:F5E7:5D51:6174 (talk) 00:05, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Whether the personal information being circulated about someone are in fact their details, it's still doxing if they haven't publicly identified themselves on Wikipedia. If you have genuine concerns about how another editor is behaving on Wikipedia, you need not resort to trying to publicly out them. PrimaPrime (talk) 00:14, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
I don't know (and don't want to know) whether the claim is accurate, I just wanted to make Bnguyen1114 aware of the attempt and only offered to share the link via email. Schazjmd (talk) 00:19, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
I appreciate it. But I think I've managed to get a lid on the doxx. Thanks though. Bnguyen1114 (talk) 00:26, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
