Statement of the dispute

This is a summary written by users who dispute this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.

Description

Agapetos angel has been disruptive at the article of her husband, Jonathan Sarfati. She has also been editing heavily the article of his employer Answers in Genesis, and the article of a colleague of her husband, Ken Ham. Many of these edits have raised concerns over POV and the appropriateness of editors editing articles that they directly have a stake in.

This disruption consists of POV editing, multiple 3RR violations, edit warring, and misrepresenting herself to the community as an uninvolved party to these topics, not her actual status as the wife of Jonathan Sarfati. Misplaced Pages policies, such as WP:AUTO, and precedent discourages editors who have a personal stake in a topic from editing those articles. WP:AUTO states "Avoid writing or editing articles about yourself, since we all find objectivity especially difficult when we ourselves are concerned. Such articles frequently violate neutrality, verifiability, and notability guidelines. Contribute on the talk page instead. Feel free to correct mistaken or out-of-date facts about yourself." Common sense would say that such caution extends to the wifes of article subjects as well.

Additional disruption has come in the form of misrepresenting the actions of others: forging the signature of an admin to a straw poll (and falsely attributing an opinon to him), personal attacks of the admin who challenged her misuse of his signature, and in filing a false 3RR filing.

Agapetos angel refuses to confirm that she is Sarfati's wife, dodging all direct questions and employing ambiguity to imply that she might not be to sow confusion, and continues to edit and edit war on the articles in which she holds a personal stake.

Disruption

1. Edit warring at the article of her husband, Jonathan Sarfati: Agapetos angel's history at Jonathan Sarfati
2. The edit warring at Jonathan Sarfati included 4 3RR violations resulting in Agapetos angel being blocked three times
3. This edit warring resulted in the Jonathan Sarfati article being protected
4. Agapetos angel filed a misleading request to get the Jonathan Sarfati article unprotected
5. After Jonathan Sarfati was unprotected , Agapetos angel continued edit warring and again violating 3RR within 24 hours:

Bad faith

1. Misrepresented herself to the community when confronted about the appropriateness of intimately involved parties editing articles in which they hold a personal stake by repeatedly implying that she did not have a personal relationship to the subject of the Jonathan Sarfati, which turns out is her husband:
2. After being warned that involved parties should not edit articles in which they have a personal stake , Agapetos angel continued to heavily edit articles in which she has a personal stake: that of her husband Jonathan Sarfati contribs to Jonathan Sarfati, that of her husband's employer Answers in Genesis contribs to Answers in Genesis, and that of a colleague of her husband at Answers in Genesis Ken Ham contribs to Ken Ham. With these edits Agapetos angel often attempted to bowdlerize criticisms, introduce POV, and were otherwise often not in line with WP:NPOV.
3. Forged an admin's signature to a thinly-disguised straw poll to imply more support for her POV edits at Jonathan Sarfati than actually existed:
4. Filed a false 3RR violation
5. Argued when confronted with fact that no 3RR violation occurred
6. Despite the evidence that she is indeed Jonathan Sarfati's wife, Agapetos_angel refuses to confirm that she is Sarfati's wife , and continues insist that she be allowed to continue editing the articles in which she holds a personal stake: ,

2. Insisted on keeping the allegation on the talk page despite repeated requests to move the material
3. Claimed that she had provided "proof" to support her assessment when providing diffs which did not, in fact, show support for the assertion that Guettarda had expressed an opinion on proposed edits
4. Personal attacks and false claims against Guettarda, an admin, over his objections to having his signature forged by Agagetos angel
5. Continuing the disputes instead of seeking to resolve them: .
