It looks as though Chapman (aka JzG) has once again been abusing his administrative powers on Wikipedia in order to try to force the issue when involved in a content dispute:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/JzG_3#Other_users_who_endorse_this_statement

If you think that Chapman has indeed abused his powers, either this time or previously, please sign the "Other users who have endorsed this statement" section with four tildes ("~"). You do not need to register or log in to do this. After reading the page, it is clear to me that Chapman has indeed abused his powers, and so I have signed the section concerned.

This is not the first time that he has abused the Wikipedia spam blacklist. Previously, he has abused it in order to prevent links to http://encyclopediadramatica.com/JzG. This is nothing more than censorship of a point of view that he dislikes; there has never been any spam on Encyclopedia Dramatica. I keep meaning to get round to making a request to remove the site from the blacklist, and making a further complaint about Chapman's abuse of his powers.

It is time that his administrative status was removed. The number of times that he has used it in order to attempt to force through his POV is appalling.
