Michael Bink Knowles, professionaly known as Binksternet is an media editor and is best known for his work with Queen and produced the albums A Day At The Races, A Kind Of Magic, The Miracle, Innuendo, and Made In Heaven. He also has a Wikipedia page, joined there on 28 July 2007, and has an edit count of more than 450,000 on multiple articles. In 1989, the band had invited him to be a guest musician and he played the synthesizer in the song, "The Miracle", but doesn't appear in the music video. When he was asked to go to the Wikimedia Commons in June 2012, he said that he joined Wikipedia after seeing an incomplete list of Tango dancing in movies and that he recommends users to sign in to Wikipedia so that they wouldn't get a IP address confusion.
Controversy[]
Over the years, he's developed a strong presence on Wikipedia, such as by falsely labeling sources he disagrees with as "WordPress" blogs, as seen by his edits on the Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody and Space Truckin' articles. He's also known to accuse users of "sockpupppetry" without any proper evidence and will commonly edit articles in a biased way to fulfill his own, left-leaning political agenda. Many have taken issues with Binsternet's behavior,[1][2][3] but he remains one of the most active users on the site, and one of the most well liked by administrators, despite his failure to become one in April 2013.[4]
