Jordan had fabricated a persona which he described on his user page on Wikipedia, presenting himself as a tenured professor at a private US university. After the news broke, EssJay said that the false details were intended to avoid cyberstalking. However, Jordan had used these fictious credentials to win content debates on Wikipedia. Polls have found that 55\% of web users have used fake identities. When Wikimedia's Jimmy Wales called for Jordan's resignation from any position of power, such as his Arbitration Commitee placement or administrative priviliges , the user decided instead to remove himself from the project completely.
