This was the finding of March 3, 2022 by the ArbCom committee. I'm stating that this is true and they have determined that I have a COI which I am clearly stating here. [1] [2]
2) Sgerbic is Susan Gerbic, an activist for scientific skepticism who has a focus on exposing people claiming to be mediums, and who is a columnist for the Skeptical Inquirer. She joined Wikipedia in 2010 and has not been previously sanctioned. Because of her work off-wiki, Sgerbic has a conflict of interest with respect to the people and organizations Gerbic is involved with, which notably includes her work in Skeptical Inquirer and the people she has written about therein, and the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, where she has been awarded a fellowship and which publishes the Skeptical Inquirer.

... to ban GSoW and I from Wikipedia by FRINGE characters, often using non-FRINGE enablers.
Congratulations to the GSoW project! On March 16, 2022 we uploaded our 2,000th completed Wikipedia page. I'm so proud of this team - we uploaded our first page on 2010-04-26 - almost 12 years ago, and we are still at it, in fact we are growing stronger all the time. As you know - we never ever write stubs - so the pages we count in that 2,000 are full completed brand new pages OR a page that was a stub and we rewrote into a full page. Just look at this number of page views. It seemed like just a couple months ago we celebrated 100 million page views, and already we are at 110 million page views. Remember the GSoW works in many languages (45% of all the work we complete are in languages other than English) And remember that we focus on all people and topics that fall under the skepticism, pseudoscience or science umbrella - that is a wide net. I would call this a wonderful success, thank you to all who have helped make this possible. Sgerbic ( talk) 06:42, 18 March 2022 (UTC)
