Directory:The Wikipedia Point of View/HeadleyDown

HeadleyDown is the name of a Wikipedia editor who, according to Wikipedia itself, is "a community-banned Wikipedia vandal and habitual reincarnator who specializes in massive sneaky pov vandalism with multiple sock/meatpuppets (around 50 - 80 over some 3 years, often 3 - 10 at a time on multiple articles), and devastates articles by long term damage, and driving away of bona fide editors. It is not always clear which editors are socks, and which are meats [i.e. supporters] run by his associates."

• Mindstore 12 July 2006 - 17 July 2006. Mindstore specialised in ironic references to the 'effective' nature of NLP, inserting links such as this to obviously exaggerated claims about the effectiveness of NLP. For example here: "NLP is the most effective so far - Hello all. I don't see how people here could have overlooked it. NLP is by far the most effective. A cure in a single session! Nothing else can beat that. User:Mindstore 03:35, 12 July 2006. Or here: ""NLP (Neurolinguistic programming) makes use of Chomsky's science of linguistics in order to produce amazing therapeutic results, such as single session cures of phobias. "
