User:Grounded into a double play/DOND

Image of the Banker
I found an image of the banker. However, at least one user did not agree and removed it. I would like some feedback as to whether or not the image is okay. Grounded into a double play (talk) 11:48, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * This user wants feedback, he got it. I don’t know what kind of stunt this obnoxious user, Grounded into a double play,  is trying to pull on this Deal or No Deal article.  Obviously this user is anything but trustworthy and reliable.  Various times today (2/16/08), the wikipedia administrators put up warnings that his account will be deleted because of violations to other articles.  His discussion page contains a lot of violation codes by the administrators.  Ultimately, they did delete his account.  However, he defined their resistances and came back against all rules & orders.  This is not a trait of a worthy wikipedian.  In addition, the user had gone out and vandalized other articles on here.  If anybody cares to go to the article entitled The Banker and click on the history tab, you will see what I mean


 * As far as Deal or No Deal is concerned, he has already done a number of vandalizing edits to this article, which was pretty much established as the standard format. The user altered the The Banker’s Special Offers to read The Banker to indicate the picture he uploaded.  At the same time, he doesn’t even bother to clean up & fix any potential problems and confusions he caused when doing this obnoxious edit.  In simple English, he is ruining the article with his edit.


 * On top of that, the supposed image that this user is trying to upload…there is no proof that this guy is the actual Banker. He doesn't even look like him.  To the Deal or No Deal fan, they would notice the real banker looks like he’s of middle-age status despite never seeing his face.  The guy in this picture looks like he’s in his 30’s.  So that doesn’t make sense right there.  And this user did not even go through the extensive work of providing adequate outside sources to prove that guy is the Banker on Deal or No Deal.  For all that anybody can tell, the guy in this picture might be this obnoxious user or somebody he knows, and that he will do anything to make sure he get his 15-minutes of fame on wikipedia.  And in case if anybody is wondering, that same image is also on the Akbank article.  So as you can see, this editor is just uploading this same picture left and right to any article he can find.  Chances are, he might upload it to the President of the United States article next.  And to add insult to injury, this particular picture is up for deletion by the administrators on both the Deal or No Deal and Akbank.  So much for credibility on this user’s part.


 * Finally, let’s pretend for a moment the guy in this picture was the banker. I personally do not know how other Deal fans feel, but personally, I would rather not know what the banker looks like.  It takes away from the true mystique, uniqueness, and success that is Deal or No Deal.  The banker is a guy that everybody loves to hate, but at the same time the show would not be successful without him.  He is a big element of the show just like Howie, the models, the contestant, and the audience members.  And to expose the true identity of the Banker, you’re basically taking away that element, ruining that mystique and uniqueness, ultimately hurting Deal or No Deal in the process.


 * So to sum it up, user Grounded into a double play is not a credible user. If anything, he should be blocked from doing any kind of edits to this article or any others that he may vandalize.  He is out to destroy any article he can get his hands on, and the questionable picture of the supposed banker does just that.  So therefore, we should not include this contribution to this article.

 * If the image isn't the banker it shouldn't be in the article, so what do you care if it's deleted. I doubt someone would try to put his image on every article he finds.
