Excellent write up. I'm impressed he made it to that many redirects before anyone noticed.

[–]HandshakeOfCO 434 points435 points  (10 children)

Yeah it’s crazy that he made the titular number of those without being caught.

[–]johnhitlerpizza 234 points235 points  (7 children)

At least he got it off his chest.

[–]bird-in-a-box 112 points113 points  (6 children)

I feel sorry for all the users who were trying to keep abreast of his nonsense.

[–]NobleKale 44 points45 points  (5 children)

Only takes one for everything to go tits up

[–]bird-in-a-box 18 points19 points  (2 children)

It took until April 2018 to segmentally remove all the titty redirects.

[–]NormanFeetus 9 points10 points  (1 child)

The mans sense of humor is absolutely titless

Just realized this was 22 days old, oops.

[–]nick_locarno 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Side note: my favorite euphemism for titty fucking is "titular head"

[–]EugeneHamilton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tittular number*

[–]JayrassicPark 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Knowing Wikipedia, he probably didn't attract the attention of folks who get really angry and edit a lot; film plots, for example, have a ton of people who get extremely pissed and try to report folks for vandalism.

[–]Tesseractyl 419 points420 points  (5 children)

The completeness of the permutations of word pairings and the sheer volume of pages makes it look like he set up a redirect-creating utility, fed it lists of adjectives, and let it loose. He still input lists of adjectives full of weirdly juvenile ways of saying "breasts," which is weird in more or less exactly the same way, but it would at least explain where he found the time.

[–]Antikyrial 180 points181 points  (2 children)

If he ran a bot on that scale without permission he probably would have been in a lot more trouble. Wikipedia's pretty strict about stuff like that.

[–]p_iynx 106 points107 points  (0 children)

That was part of the discussion, but there was no way to definitively prove it (although people posted pretty good evidence to suggest that it was a bot).

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There's no way this wasn't a bot. This is literally how a bot would function.

[–]Hollowplanet 26 points27 points  (1 child)

I think its autism. Autistic people get stuck on one thing. Suck on wikipedia, stuck on some girl, stuck on breasts.

[–]Neosis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. Not to mention the fact that the redirects were meaningful - which still requires some thought. A bot might generate the page “titty tumors” but it isn’t going to automatically detect and set up a redirect to breast cancer.

[–]TheAngriestOwl 253 points254 points  (9 children)

this is absolutely wild. I can't even fathom what this guy this guy was trying to achieve

[–]CustardAndPie 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's a fetish thing.

[–]zenkique 89 points90 points  (7 children)

He was creating redirects for the undereducated.

[–]BaxterBarclay 169 points170 points  (4 children)

Yeah, the undereducated are always going onto Wikipedia and looking up "Constructions of the booby."

[–]Mr_Conductor_USA 104 points105 points  (1 child)

Imagine how perplexed that fifth grader was when they were innocently searching for a reference on bird's nests.

[–]zenkique 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Perplexed and eternally grateful to the WikiBro that created the redirect.

[–]zenkique 25 points26 points  (1 child)

Hey, don’t be gatekeeping what the undereducated might look up on Wikipedia.

[–]RainDownMyBlues 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"I love the poorly educated"

[–]p_iynx 38 points39 points  (1 child)

Ah yes, the uneducated who search for “hypoplastic titties”.

[–]zenkique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey you and the other one: Gatekeepers Anonymous is down the hall ... or did they not let you in?

[–]astrakhan42 415 points416 points  (10 children)

It's way too easy to imagine the actual Neelix from Voyager doing all of this.

[–]petriomelony 202 points203 points  (7 children)

Well let me tell you about my time with titties, Mr. Vulcan. On Talax, you could see the most magnificent booby pumps and titty pumps in the entire quadrant! (And I've seen quite a few, if you take my meaning. nudgewink) Ahh those were the days.

[–]acelister 95 points96 points  (1 child)

Mr Neelix! Is this really the time? The Hirogen have teamed up with the Borg and are hunting us on a Demon-class planet.

[–]elton_on_fire 46 points47 points  (0 children)

it's uncanny. you two should direct a new borg tv show called "what we purposely left behind"

[–]Chaosmusic 58 points59 points  (2 children)

After assimilating Neelix, the borg changed their catchphrase from "Resistance is futile" to 'Send Nudes"

[–]petriomelony 22 points23 points  (1 child)

Bet you'd love to assimilate her tubules, eh, Harry?

[–]Chaosmusic 16 points17 points  (0 children)

    [–]Anosognosia 11 points12 points  (0 children)

    Mixed in with them was things like "Run and rape video game"?
    Is that even a genre? Wtf, am I sheltered or did this Neelix guy have other problems besides the breast redirection?

    [–]stellarbeing 309 points310 points  (17 children)

    I’m still trying to wrap my head around that number. 80,000 redirects about tits, every single one unique from the last. The dedication is impressive

    [–]adudeguyman 101 points102 points  (0 children)

    Maybe Neelix wrote his dissertation on titties

    [–]Who_GNU 91 points92 points  (8 children)

    I hope the reason it's that prolific is that he automated it; I can't imagine doing that manually.

    [–]p_iynx 75 points76 points  (3 children)

    It’s kind of funny, but he denies having used a bot and said that he just types quickly. He was previously temp blocked for creating 4-6 useless articles a minute, so I feel pretty skeptical about that lol.

    [–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

    There's no way it wasn't a bot. He's probably covering up because it would have gotten him in more trouble.

    [–]adescuentechable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    He stopped editing altogether as soon as people caught on. It's not like he had anything to lose by admitting he used a bot.

    [–]Lost4468 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    4-6 is high for a human, but it's also very low for a bot.

    [–]Pigspeakers 28 points29 points  (3 children)

    I mean, I just heard about this stalker girl who sent 65000+ texts. People can be obsessive.

    Granted, there's a difference between texts and unique redirects.

    [–]QueenMergh 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    is there a Reddit convo on this person? my ex had to change his number at one point over someone like that

    [–]Pigspeakers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    There was. I watched a video where they talked about a reddit post about someone who was friends with a girl who was stalking someone and started displaying some erratic behavior. Then they connected it to this news story about a lady named Jacqueline ades (I think) who was the one who sent the excessive amounts of texts.

      I mean, Wikipedia admins actually do real stuff though, so it's not like it's some random jackoff Star Trek forum or something.

      [–]justme909 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      I was making a joke about this guy jerking off because he seems to have involved his sexual fixations in his work. I’m aware that Wikipedia admins do a lot of work, and the vast, vast majority of them who do it appropriately have my respect and admiration.

      [–]mmmhmmhim 36 points37 points  (1 child)

      I mean he probably used a bot or a script

      I like to imagine him doing it all by hand. One handed; since his other hand is busy, obviously.

      [–]MovkeyB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

      reading through the list many of them aren't about tits, they're mostly just names of people with a bunch of different spelling and spacing variations, and a lot about frogs apparently

      [–]cactusjack_bangbang 43 points44 points  (0 children)

      This was a very memorable internet experience. I was banned from wikipedia over it and then unbanned after a heroic wiki editor went against the grain of neelix's crew, leading to the discovery of all his insane redirects.

      [–]cactusjack_bangbang 22 points23 points  (0 children)

      I also have some more stuff relating to my being blocked/unblocked that I can paste, or maybe I can link from waybackmachine? Not exactly sure how to share some of this old stuff.

      [–]bigbabycheeses 11 points12 points  (1 child)

      Do you still edit wikipedia articles or did you give up after this experience?

      [–]cactusjack_bangbang 44 points45 points  (0 children)

      I pretty much gave up. I did a few other things on bands I liked, and that was about it. I had used and occasionally edited (without an account) for years, but this soured me on the whole experience and revealed a real dark underbelly to Wikipedia. The fervor that senior editors pursued me with was really wild, and everything I said in defense of myself was ignored. It wasn't until another senior editor showed up and said basically what I had already been saying that they listened. It's not actually a collaborative platform when it comes to people defending their pet articles.

      The "Sixteen-headed" redirecting to "Polycephaly" is actually kinda funny. But the boob ones triggered by Tara Teng just makes me think he's another very weird incel with too much time on his hands.

      [–]bird-in-a-box 47 points48 points  (5 children)

      According to a user quoted here on Wikipedocracy, he also made a lot of super-specific and super-creepy Commons categories along the lines of "naked or partially naked women with necklaces in cleavage."

      The page also lists hundreds of Neelix redirects on the subjects of mushrooms ("Mushroomingly") and windows:

      Insulated glazing Quintuple-glazed glass → Insulated glazing Quintupleglazed glass → Insulated glazing Quintuple glazed glasses → Insulated glazing Quintuple-glazed glasses → Insulated glazing Quintupleglazed glasses → Insulated glazing Sextuple glaze → Insulated glazing Sextuple-glaze → Insulated glazing Sextupleglaze → Insulated glazing Sextuple glazes

      [–]ohcrapitssasha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      It’s a joke about an apparently notorious fan artist whose fetish is/was “foreverially delitized” which means that the character is forever turned into a being made of deli meats and cheeses. Ham and cream cheese tongues were common. Usually they’re also in cheese-rope bondage as well. Lots of animal characters from older cartoons. Also, in spite of their unfortunate deli-meat situation, they love being made of meat and cream cheese, normally.

      [–]renwel 44 points45 points  (0 children)

      It took until April 2018 to delete all the titty redirects.

      This reads like one of those statements you'd see at the end of a biopic where they're summarizing where the guy ended up in the later years of his life, except it's Wikipedia and 80,000 titty redirects.

      I love this sub. Great write-up.

      [–]happythoughts413 43 points44 points  (3 children)

      That’s so much time to spend on titty redirects. Was that...fun for him?

      [–]p_iynx 34 points35 points  (0 children)

      A lot of people thought that he was just doing it to boost his edit count, but there was likely a fetish driving him (especially since he did something similar with categories of naked women/tit pics on Commons). He also had a fixation on prostitution.

      [–]featheredfelon 14 points15 points  (1 child)

      If jerking yourself raw is fun, then sure

      [–]gyoza-fairy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

      On the other hand, if you can jerk yourself raw to just the word "titty" you might be very young or very desperate

      [–]midazolam4breakfast 34 points35 points  (0 children)

      I can imagine the scenario in which this is done due to some sort of psychosis. Btw, your writing style is great.

      Surprised no Command Line interface to do batchwork

      [–]GozerDestructor 42 points43 points  (3 children)

      There is. Going directly to the database would be an option too.

      As I recall (it's been a while), Wikipedia admins are only admins with regard to what they can do through the regular web-based user interface. There are also "bureaucrats", who have access to the actual database, API, and other programmer-oriented tools.

      Perhaps the situation was considered not important enough to get the bureaucrats involved. Programmer time costs money, even for something trivial enough that it could be scripted in twenty minutes.

      [–]Krenair 14 points15 points  (1 child)

      There are also "bureaucrats", who have access to the actual database, API, and other programmer-oriented tools.

      No, the Bureaucrat group does not grant raw database access, only people with some types of server access get that. The API is open to all though.

      [–]GozerDestructor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      Thanks for the clarification - it's some years since I did more than dabble in Wikipedia editing, so I misremembered the roles.

      [–]benjaminikuta 13 points14 points  (0 children)

      Bureaucrats are all volunteers.

      [–]illegible_derigible 85 points86 points  (11 children)

      Wikipedia talk pages are like a refuge for people with the weirdest possible hills they're willing to die on and now I want to find that one user or users who were on some kind of quest to correct the extremely offensive use of the word "hometown" to describe the city of origin of citizens of Great Britain. I guess town and city have specific meanings in British English and some folks get mighty put out if you refer to, say, London as someone's hometown.

      [–]DARKSTAR-WAS-FRAMED 78 points79 points  (8 children)

      I've been a regular editor for several years and this is entirely accurate. Not just for Wikipedia, but most wikis. Internet spaces that can be publicly edited will always attract weird folks with weird hangups. Even if they seem constructive at first, they make themselves obvious sooner or later.

      Editors also skew male, and not to be a Stereotyping Sam here, but the deeply-rooted sexual hangups of straight men are not near as secret as straight men think they are. They think I don't know because I'm gay. But I know. I know.

      [–]Mr_Conductor_USA 73 points74 points  (2 children)

      It really enraged me when British wikieditors with a stick up their butts changed "donuts" to "doughnuts" even though it's an American food and almost nobody spells it the long way. They also merged "tartan" and "plaid" but then deleted everything on the page that wasn't about Scottish tartan meaning that there IS no resource now on plaid fabrics which encompass more than Scottish tartans, you motherfuckers!!!

      fuck I hate that website FUCK

      [–]Griffinhart 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      Friendly reminder that "doughnut" rhymes with "tough nut". 😏

      [–]DARKSTAR-WAS-FRAMED 17 points18 points  (1 child)

      Wink wink nudge nudge say no more.

      The specific thing I was thinking of, since the OP reminded me, is when straight guys get really fixated on certain body parts to the exclusion of the rest and do not suppress their thoughts about it as well as they think they do. Anything innocuous can set it off. Like the Wiki admin's curious timing:

      Neelix started making breast redirects immediately after Tara Teng posted a picture of herself breastfeeding on Instagram.

      But I'm sure that was just a coincidence.

      The obsessions on specific parts are very odd to me. If this was a man thing instead of a straight thing, I think I'd also be fixated on specific parts, but I'm not. What's up with that?

      [–]Freiling 9 points10 points  (0 children)

      Makes me wonder if there's any group-wise tendency in foot fetishes and the like. Just on its surfcace it does seem like a straight guy fetish. I think you're on to something!

      [–]church_of_cod 22 points23 points  (0 children)

      They do - cities are designated as such by the Queen. So there are not many of them and, whenever a new city is to be created to mark a special national occasion, there is a often bitter competition between towns to win the designation.

      However, being a city has no concrete benefits such as increased funding.

      In England (some) people get worked up about things like this, so it is no surprise that such trivia ended up infecting Wikipedia.

      [–]KindlyConnection 9 points10 points  (0 children)

      I tried to add on a wiki page of a singer that the singer had a second child (the first child was mentioned in the personal section), however this fellow kept removing it because the only source for it was... the singer's own instagram page and that wasn't a good enough source. The talk pages are a lot.

      [–]JaymesMarkham2nd 27 points28 points  (5 children)

      This is absolute insanity, thank you for bringing it into my life. I made a copy of the full post, with Wikipedia chat, to read more over later. It is 72 default pages long in Google Docs.

      [–]cr1sis77 27 points28 points  (3 children)

      I don't understand why no one checks admin's just because they're experienced. Admins make mistakes too. Does Wikipedia not have a system in place so that every edit has a second pair of eyes at least skim over it?

      [–]aabicus 5 points6 points  (1 child)

      They do, but as the OP mentions, admins are immune because theres a rigorous process involved in becoming one

      [–]cr1sis77 14 points15 points  (0 children)

      That's the point I'm making. You can't eliminate human error, so it's strange that admins can do whatever. Then again, we wouldn't get this juicy hobby drama if that weren't the case.

      [–]adescuentechable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      There are hundreds of edits every minute, so it's not feasible to check every single edit.

      The reason he went undetected for so long is that redirects don't get a lot of attention. The only way anyone could find out that "Booby milk" was a redirect to "Breastmilk" would be if they typed "Booby milk" into the search and noticed the autosuggestion pop up or if they checked what pages link to "Breast milk".

        I’m sorry, but someone had to go through and find all of these, meaning they had to type in a bunch of these, no? Also, I scrolled down the list further than I should, but “licking of the tit” is like trying to get that word count in for an essay

        [–]aabicus 22 points23 points  (1 child)

        This is one of the best stories of this sub.

        Good write up. Found myself giggling at the jugs and racks.

        Men like these should never be allowed to have such levels of influence behind something like wikipedia. I'm equally amused and disgusted and I hope Ms. Teng got a restraining order against him because, oof

        …yet they deleted the article for Jerkcity.

        [–]Mr_Conductor_USA 9 points10 points  (2 children)

        I remember when they decided to get "serious" when was this, 15 or 20 years ago??? and deleted loads of crazy detailed fan lists of when certain things happened in Simpsons episodes, or songs with a certain word in them. Which was a crying shame, sometimes you need to know these things ... stop shaming people for being into weird trivia, wikipedia.

        eta: I just realized I don't even remember how old wikipedia is because it's merged with DMOZ in my brain ... almost the same idea and a lot of the same drama to be honest

        [–]bird-in-a-box 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        I think there's a lot of that sort of thing documented on this page. One of my favorites is "List of fictional characters with removable or interchangeable heads."

        [–]PUBLIQclopAccountant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

        Now that Jerkcity has been renamed to /r/Bonequest, I think I may re-create the old article in all its glory one day.

        Every single sentence here belongs in r/brandnewsentence

        [–]nine_legged_stool 20 points21 points  (1 child)

        Jesus tittyfucking Christ. Amazing. Segmental removal of the titties. This is the best thing I've read all week.

        [–]IceCreamBalloons 9 points10 points  (0 children)

        It's the breast thing I've read all month!

        I’m sorry but can someone explain what a redirect is?

        [–]TheStalkerFang 10 points11 points  (0 children)

        Wikipedia's way of dealing with things with multiple names. They make a page that automatically sends you to the main article.

        [–]p_iynx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

        It’s an empty page for a term that sends you to the main article (for example, if something has two vastly different names, a redirect is useful; one somewhat legitimate redirect he made was for “titty fucking” leading to the “mammary intercourse” article). They can be useful. However most the redirects he was making were actually making it more difficult to find legitimate articles, or were completely spurious. You shouldn’t generally make a redirect page for a term if using the Wikipedia search for that terms already brings up the correct/main article. You definitely shouldn’t make 500 redirects if it ends up pushing the real article out of the first couple of search results.

        Did it ever come out how old he was?

        [–]cactusjack_bangbang 8 points9 points  (2 children)

        He was a grad student, probably mid 20s

        [–]snjwffl 11 points12 points  (1 child)

        Oof. I was hoping it would be like 14, but damn does that dude have issues.

        [–]bigbabycheeses 8 points9 points  (0 children)

        Yeah it really reminds me of when the weird christian kid comes over after school and leaves a bunch of creepy google searches in your browser history

        [–]PM_YOUR_NON-MALE_ASS 44 points45 points  (2 children)

        Look man, this is why people who prefer breasts over ass are not to be trusted.

        [–]Blouno 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        This sick weirdo needs to consult.

        This is one of the greatest stories of modern times

        [–]tunicaintima 17 points18 points  (0 children)

        It was the breast of times, it was the wabs of times.

        "Nudity of the thorax."

        It's almost a shame that this page met deletion.

        [–]Kraps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

        Hahaha they made a speedy delete criteria for him. I used to edit Wiki a lot with several tools, Wiki drama owns.

        Wikipedia the gift that keeps on giving

        [–]mrenglish22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

        I once met a guy in college in his 20s that thought only women had breasts, because he thought the breast was a specific part of "the titty" so seeing a redirect for "titty cancer" was crass but understandable.

        Then it went off the deep end. Lord.

        How do i get the rights to the movie?

        [–]SheketBevakaSTFU 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        This is such a good write up.

        [–]cobalthour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        Lots to unpack here but I think the suitcase should be...not even thrown away tbh. We should just burn it and then bury the ashes feel beneath the earrth.

        [–]LobMob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        80 000 pages about titties? Not the hero we needed but the hero we wanted.
