You sure are some posting gals. I been trying to just stay caught up. Been sort of out of commission with a migraine, plus went to get my hair cut today. SO goes to prove I can step away from my computer and shows I am not a drunk Sorry just had to add that tidbit. You have all done so good with finding the fake success picts. <y friend has been at it all day. Says she will probably pass out if she finds the red dress one. I also think this change of owners is something they are using to try and get Kimmer(heidi) Secret agent, out of trouble, BUT IT WONT HAPPEN. Too little too late on that. Too much has already been copied and they have it in the authorities hands. So good try kimkins owner , who ever you may be. But we all did say it seemed as tho tippy had already taken it over. She is improving the site! They get more crazy all the time. And all the times I used to talk to tippy I thought she was more intelligent than that. Man was I ever wrong. Keep up the good work ladies and ducks. QUACK!

I wanted to stay last night and help but thats when the migraine hit so I left the work to you gals, since you are soo good at it. I know if the red dress woman is alive yal will find her, dont give up. That is needed in court. I still dont understand why some one would say look for a dead person? And how would that be possible?

News letter stuff-

I realize these newletters and things such as the "foster kids fundraiser" have been discussed before. I just can't believe with all the site scrubbing that's going on over there that they haven't gotten rid of that stuff too!

Oh and someone back a few dozen (hundred? thousand?) posts was asking for copies of the newsletter. Perhaps this will help them.

Nighty-night y'all! ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Michelle when you posted about not being able to get your avatar in and then got it to work your post was deleted to shorten the thread as at that time we were taking all non topic posts off the threads. You had posted 16 times and had 3 deleted way back in the 3rd fascination thread.. you should see your post count going up each time now.

And its no bother sweetie.. I am just letting ya know.

I can't believe that poster who says Kimkins is common sense. No, it's not. If it were common, everyone would be starved to bony slenderness. Eating 500 calories and not eating a proper amount of produce and essential fats is hardly common sense. It's desperation sense, maybe...

One of those posts sounded like Kimmer-speak--that bit about gastric bypass, etc.

And what loony-ball doctor is running-with-scissors/Melissa going to who gives the thumbs up to a plan that has VLC and drastically severe produce restriction? Any doctor would know that the plan would not be enough to stimulate proper bowel movements or provide essential minerals and nutrients. Well, any doctor who's not a negligent schlump.

Either that testimony is false, Melissa is fibbing to her doctor or is not really following Kimkins, or the doctor is incompetent or trained in some alternate reality where 500 calories is actually 1500, and a cup of spinach is actually three cups of assorted valuable veggies.

Color me skeptical about these claims.

But I'm glad the KK crowd is getting restless. Of course, it still astounds me that any of them hang around rather than asking for refunds and running for the hills.

Amazing. And with Kimmer doing just what she said she'd do--leave and let the bag be held by those left behind. And there they are, the bag holders, milling around saying, "Nothing to see here, move along. Nothing to see here," while Rome burns.

Kakay- You are a sweetie. I am sorry to hear about a migraine when those strike you are at their mercy. So I hope you are doing better.
I just posted a list of stories I identified as questionable....I am working on the blog but I wanted to get this up too.

I am working on setting up the blog here with the confirmed fraudulent pics and I will put this list with all the ??? pics there, but thought it would help to have it here for searching.

Did someone get a list of websites for reviewing together so I can add them to the blog that would be great....hitting the blog......

Is there a place where the "Russian" sites are listed, so we can search?

I have a little time before bed, and I'll go a-hunting.

Caro/Cilantro found the first one and kiki posted her find here and that got us started.

Many of us found several of the fakes, but some posters-who-never-sleep-and-will-remain-nameless, get them posted up pretty fast and have outdone themselves! (and me)


Nite girls.....

Kimkins Controversy on Wikipedia

Well we're making a bit of progress. The status of the Kimkins Controversy article on WIkipedia has now been changed from "tagged for speedy deletion" to "proposed delete."

According to an Admin on the article's talk page, "It requires actual published third party sources to suppprt this. I do not think BBB is sufficient--therw must at least be newspaper articles showing that the scam is notable. Changed to proposeddeletion to give a few days to find them."

If you click on the article itself, right now it says this at the top:

It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:

apparent scam, but with no truly adequate sources for the allegations

If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming or merging the page, please edit this page and do so. You may remove this message if you improve the article or otherwise object to its deletion for any reason. To avoid confusion, it helps to explain why you object to the deletion, either in the edit summary or on the talk page. If this template is removed, it should not be replaced.

The article may be deleted if this message remains in place for five days.Prod, concern: apparent scam, but with no truly adequate sources for the allegations This template was added 2007-10-05 07:29; five days from then is 2007-10-10 07:29.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article so that it is acceptable according to the deletion policy.
Further guidance is provided on the page about verifiability:
The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth. "Verifiable" in this context means that any reader should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed.

Wikipedia:Verifiability is one of Wikipedia's core content policies. The others include Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Jointly, these policies determine the type and quality of material that is acceptable in Wikipedia articles. They should not be interpreted in isolation from one another, and editors should try to familiarize themselves with all three.
Personally, I think the KTLA links to the broadcasts and the About.com links should be more than sufficient. But at this time, they are not considered to be. So! The mission, if we choose to accept it, is to provide links to more credible, verifiable sources. Blogs, even first-hand accounts of incidents, basically don't count, by the way.

Time for me to hit the hay & I have a busy work day tomorrow - the Wikipedia article is HERE. Have at it, yall!

And just to be clear, I have NO vested interest in what I have written there now remaining. Seriously, feel free to edit it beyond recognition, or to delete it entirely and replace it with something that passes muster. I have written to Martin at Slamboard and invited him to resubmit the article he apparently attempted to post on this several weeks ago.

The Wikipedia article is awesome If someone tried to submit an article several weeks ago, it wasn't Martin. I think he edited the old Kimkins article back before it was deleted once or twice to remove the hypertext link to Kimkins.com, that's it. He and I are both quite busy with our own work. We have just enough time to keep up with what is going on and sometimes provide a little info here and there when it will help. But almost all of the hard work that has been done has been done by all the other very dedicated people
