The good of Misplaced Pages must be our priority
Back in Oct. 2011, I was told that I would be hounded on every article that I worked, until I was "driven from this encyclopedia". By 2012, I made the decision not to be intimidated and fight back. My plan of "passive resistance" was as follows:
- Carefully read Misplaced Pages's policies!
- Take care that every edit was well within policy guide lines.
- Take care that I was polite and positive even when being attacked.
- Whenever I was charged with wrongdoing, I stopped editing immediately. I sought advice from Admins and Bureaucrats and did not resume editing until the issue was resolved. In those cases where I was mistaken or 'messed up' I promptly apologized and rectified my error.
If I succeed at arbitration I will have shown that one good faith user can stand up to even a large number of problem users. I will have proven Misplaced Pages works and there is no need to fight "fire" with "fire" or form a gang in order to edit at Misplaced Pages.
Fringe:Papias Testimonium
WP:Fringe theories: "A Misplaced Pages article should not make a fringe theory appear more notable or more widely accepted than it is". (See Misplaced Pages:Fringe theories/Arbitration cases.) The Papias Testimonium or the Testimony of Papias is as follows:
Papias (b. 63 A.D.) Matthew wrote down the sayings of Jesus (logia) in a Hebrew dialect (en Hebraidi dialecto).
WP:Fringe theories:To be notable, at least one reliable secondary source must have commented on it, disparaged it, or discussed it. Over 100 reliable sources have discussed Papias, as his is the earliest historical reference to the formation of Matthew's Gospel. There more than 20 reliable sources that say Papias is trustworthy and about the same number have disparaged Papias in some way. Here again WP is clear! Such a topic is not fringe and MUST be written from a NPOV. This policy cannot be overruled even by a very large number of user accounts working together declaring a notable topic fringe.
