::::::Check his talk page, you'll see our discussion, and his completely reasonable and polite responses. And -Ril-'s not-quite-so-reasonable comments. He had his games linked from one of the pages, I informed him that editors don't tolerate external links of that sort, and that they would only make sense if there was an article about them directly. I also pointed out that some people don't like to have what they deem is 'minor' information in wikipedea, and noted that he should try to put them in one big article. I doubt his intent was to advertise, only to inform people about the things he knew the most about and was most enthusiastic about. I find this whole process sad to see, it should have been handled in another way first, considering the user's positive attitude. [[User:Slike2|Slike2]] 14:33, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
:::::::What is really sad in reading his [[Talk:Karl Scherer | talk page]] is that he seems to have begun creating all the Zillions pages because he believes that's what you recommended! Yet, despite that, [[User:-Ril-|-Ril-]] launches an assault. Karl claims to have a doctorate in mathematics, which is ''[[prima facie]]'' evidence that he may be a bit strange (said tongue in cheek), but ''not'' that he is unwilling or unable to place nicely with others. Yes, I believe adding numerous links on WP pages to one's own work shows a certain lack of professional and social awareness; it is inappropriate, disturbing, and creates a bad impression. We can only hope our own [[gaffe]]s are treated more helpfully and with more compassion. [[User:KSmrq|KSmrq]] 16:46, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
::::::::If you check the contributions he made '''before''' that, you will note that almost 100% of articles he created are either
:::::::::(a) articles describing a classification which '''he''' created, and is not used by professional mathematicians. I.e. it is original, and very non-standard, non-notable, research. ''or''
::::::::::almost 100% of which list many zillions games as external links
::::::::::exactly as if the entire set of articles is designed to create enough articles to spread the games accross, so that all of them can be listed without there being a huge list of external links in any one article. '''''This is an appalling abuse of Wikipedia'''''. It seems to be designed to function as a zillions games catalogue, for spreading accross Wikipedia mirrors, and causing google-bombing. '''''If this is the case it is to be condemned in the strongest terms'''''.
:::::::::(b) are articles describing friends of his, which is also original research, not NPOV, and non-notable
::::::::On top of that, many of his edits to ''pre-existing'' articles are to insert claims that he (i.e. Karl Scherer) has solved such-and-such a maths problem. Which is (a) not verified, (b) not NPOV, (c) original research (as it is him doing the insertion), and (d) a massive vanity edit
:::::::::This users edits over the past 2.5 years constitute nothing but these, and consequently I can see him only as a massive problem. His behaviour is an abuse of Wikipedia, and even a newbie in their first edit would know that they aren't supposed to behave like this.

*'''Delete''' all of them, not what this place is for [[User:Jamesgibbon|<font style="color:green">james</font><font style="color: blue">gibbon</font>]] 20:59, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
*Oh crumbs, what an accumulation of adcruft. Send [http://www.kuroyumes-developmentzone.com/appleyard/3dthumb/drsubsuction5.jpg this] in and clean the whole lot out. [[User:Anthony Appleyard|Anthony Appleyard]] 21:16, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
