RANDYKITTY & academic research
QUESTION: Why does RandyKitty care so much about editing academic research journals? Why does RandyKitty exclusively attack journals that compete with Wim Crusio's career?
Take a look at RandyKitty's contribution history on Wikipedia1. After looking back a couple of months, you will see that RandyKitty consistently contributes negative content to quite a few academic research journals1. In fact, we found that the majority of his content-based edits on academic research journal Wikipedia articles were negative in nature1. However, RandyKitty has never contributed negative content to journals associated with Wim Crusio1,2, including one that Crusio founded himself.
If RandyKitty never made even just one "negative" edit on the page of a journal that competes with a Wim Crusio journal, the mere fact that
RandyKitty is working to promote a specific journal and not others is possible evidence of an even bigger problem. If it were proven true that RandyKitty is Wim Crusio, it would be a violation of Wikipedia rules - and even RandyKitty's own standards as he self-describes on his profile - for him to be promoting his own business interests.
Is RandyKitty using Wikipedia as a tool to make Crusio's competitors look bad1? Does this prove that RandyKitty is Wim Crusio? If so, does it also highlight a major ethical problem?

RandyKitty was BLOCKED in September of 2018 for "abusive editing". Could his edits of this page be related?
Is RandyKitty Wim Crusio? Has he been using Wikipedia to help his own career? If so, should the Wikipedia community do anything about it?
