对ICElist的看法
我今天再次看到提到ICElist,所以我想再试着访问一下(最初由于流量过大而无法访问)。
它是一个媒体维基网站(太棒了!)。但是我想看看它实际包含哪些信息,以及我如何能从远处进行贡献。
我从代理人页面开始。此时维基上有1574名代理人,我随机选择了大约十个进行点击。每一个页面上除了一个链接到该人的LinkedIn个人资料外,几乎没有其他信息,显然是他们自我认同的地方。可以理解,但并不算特别有趣。许多代理人确实有一些不寻常的名字,这使得在网上挖掘更多细节成为可能。
事件部分更有趣。有377个事件,包含合理的细节和描述。确实是一个值得跟踪的好东西,因为这些事件很容易被遗忘或忽视。
未识别页面也有些有趣,因为它们包含大约50名未识别代理人的照片,但关于事件甚至地点的信息并不完整。有些甚至不明显是代理人,这让我对某些提交的内容产生了质疑。
车辆部分的数据可能是最完整的,因为有1142辆车辆的车牌号码。通过更新ICElist上观察到的事件中的车牌信息,是提供有价值信息的一种低风险方式。特别是如果ICE涉及换牌,这种行为是非法的。
抵制部分也很有趣,因为它包含了各种公司如何支持ICE的具体信息。虽然个人很难或几乎不可能通过抵制产生影响,甚至记住所有那些卑鄙公司的名字,但在你即将签订商业协议时,检查一下这些信息是很有用的。
还有其他人浏览过这个网站并有一些想法吗?

I saw ICElist mentioned again today, so I thought I would try to access it again (it was initially overwhelmed with traffic).<p>It is a mediawiki site (woo hoo!). BUT I wanted to see what actual information it contains and how I might be able to contribute from afar.<p>I started with the Agent pages. There are 1574 Agents on the wiki as I type this and I randomly chose about a dozen to click on. Every single one has nothing except for a link to the person's LinkedIn profile where they presumably self identify. Fine, but hardly that interesting. Many agents do have unusual names that lend themselves to digging up more details online.<p>The Incidents are more interesting. 377 of them with reasonable levels of details and description. And definitely a good thing to keep track of as they are easily forgotten/dismissed.<p>The Unidentified pages are somewhat interesting as they contain photos of about 50 unidentified agents, but the information about incidents and even locations is incomplete. Some are not even clearly agents making me question some submissions entirely.<p>Vehicles is perhaps the most data complete as there are 1142 vehicles with plate numbers. Updating ICElist with plates observed at Incidents is a low risk way to provide valuable information. Particularly if ICE is engaging in plate switching, which is illegal.<p>The Boycott section is also interesting since it contains specifics on how various companies are supporting ICE. While it is difficult/impossible for individuals to have an effect with boycotts or to even remember all the scumbag companies out there, it is useful to check if you are about to enter into a business agreement.<p>Anyone else poked around the site and have some thoughts?
