My thesis is that Wikipedianon's comment implies Wikipedia editors (specifically, "well-known" editors and "admins") doxx each other all the time, but that's hilariously wrong. Doxxing mostly comes from assholes outside the community, such as those who post on Wikipediocracy.

Yes, on-project doxxing gets OS'd but it also results in discussions and bans which can be reviewed. And from those you can easily determine that it's truly rare.

When I said to go to the forums, that was unfortunately unclear wording; I meant it's trivial to verify that Beeblebrox didn't doxx anyone in his postings.

This is like claiming that you didn't key someone's car, because the scratches weren't signed with your signature.

No one doxxing others in that particular clique is going to do it from anything other than a burner account.

"No one doxxing others in that particular clique is going to do it from anything other than a burner account."

This is incorrect.

many do it with accounts linked to their real onwiki profiles. jps is an example and I provided a link to unambiguous doxxing:

https://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=14172

They've been doing it since 2016 when they started an" alt-right identification thread":

Others use accounts linked to their onwiki personas to ask for doxx. e.g. AndyTheGrump is a well-known user who posts in the "alt-right identification thread" about someone they dislike and getting a quick response. Here's AndyTheGrump asking for doxx on a user named "BlueGraf".

https://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=8031&p...

Quickly followed up with that individuals full name and employment.

And many editors/admins participate in those doxxing threads to gawk or have fun under their real usernames.

Okay, but now that's an unfalsifiable statement. What makes you think the burners are tied to the well-known accounts?
