Wikipedia

On 1 May 2009, for only God knows why, Christian Weston Chandler registered on Wikipedia as ChrisChanSonichu. He created a user page that is to record one of the most in depth autobiographical accounts of his life.^[1]

A user page is not an article, but such an extensively biographical one is still a flagrant violation of Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia community tends to frown on use of the user pages as web space ("Wikipedia is not MySpace"); the user pages should usually be reserved for purposes somehow related to the Wikipedia project, and user pages for users who don't contribute anything to the articles frequently get deleted. Chris, of course, made it abundantly clear that he's not interested in contributing to the articles.

Chris's user page was deleted by a Wikipedia admin believing it to be the work of a troll. Sadly, as the details show, this is the real Chris, all too real…

The other thing Chris did was add his name to the article on high-functioning autism, under the list of "famous individuals that may have had many different variations of autism along with HFA."^[2]^[3]

To date, the "Christian Weston Chandler" article on Wikipedia has been created by trolls 4 times and deleted each time: February 15, March 26, April 28, May 4.^[4] It has also been "salted," or protected so that it cannot be re-created under that title.

May 2009 drama

In a video on May 3, Chris makes a case for his worthiness and rallies his true and honest fans to restore his biography. He also posted the following on his Wikipedia discussion page:


Dear Sir/Madam, LOOK, I do not have the appropriate calm state of mind to make time to READ those numerous upon numerous small-print details, much less memorize them. I have had a LOT of SLANDEROUS TWISTS OF MY OWN WORDS done unto me in the past SOO MUCH, it is HARDEST for me to get a job in a place that does background checks, only to find that cursed E.D. Page those EVIL TROLLS created against me at the TOP of the list. I started my OWN Wikipedia page to hopefully counter that and better the people's General Understand of the Noble Gentleman I truly am. I SPENT HOURS, recalling MEMORY after MEMORY to type up the HONEST-TO-GOD TRUTH. I DO NOT CARE about the erroneous listings or false information listed on other pages; I ONLY WISH TO TELL THE TRUTH AND SPREAD IT ON THE INTERNET. Plus, I have Vanessa Anne Hudgens as an honest, very close Gal-Pal, and you know very well how powerful she is as a STAR. I have created a video on YouTube respectfully asking to leave my Wikipedia ALONE with MY HONEST TRUTH from MY OWN High-Functioning Autistic Head; my LOYAL FANBASE will be sending you letters. UNDO YOUR DELETION, PLEASE. --Christian Weston Chandler (talk) 01:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

In short, Chris doesn't give a shit about contributing to Wikipedia, only wanting free PR.
