| Just wondering how you square restoring to the lead, despite the poor sourcing, yet at the same time arguing that material from the W/Post about Michael Mann—material nowhere near as bad—might not even be notable enough to be in the article at all. <font color="blue">]</font> <small><sup><font color="red">]</font><font color="green">]</font></sup></small> 23:16, 18 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :It was deleted without comment by a hit-and-run anonymous IP, and the material in question appears to be sourced to reliable sources. On the other hand your material from the Washington Post ''is not even about Mann''. It doesn't even ''mention'' him. I've already explained in detail why you've got it wrong but you don't seem to want to acknowledge any possibility that you might have made a mistake. Please, for heaven's sake, familiarise yourself with the source material before pontificating on it. -- ] (]) 23:30, 18 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::The sources look like rubbish to me, a barely notable newspaper and some websites, yet the material's considerably more damaging that the Mann stuff. And you restored it, so you're responsible for it. I'm asking you to explain why you're so protective of the BLP of someone you agree with, yet so cavalier with another. <font color="blue">]</font> <small><sup><font color="red">]</font><font color="green">]</font></sup></small> 01:01, 19 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::SV, this exchange leads me to conclude that the deletion from the Rekers page is ] editing. I have already reverted part of that deletion on other grounds -- in part because of your own assertion that other sources you consider better are available (and indeed there is a wealth of sourcing for that part of his bio). ] (]) 01:33, 19 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::::No, this is far from pointy editing. I didn't want to edit that article, but felt I couldn't leave that stuff in the lead. Chris restored highly critical material to the lead of a BLP based on the '']'', a freesheet; rawstory.com; and pinknews.co.uk. Further into the article, I see sources such as blog.unzipped.net. and slog.thestranger.com. This is a BLP that Chris has edited 26 times since May, and the talk page 27 times in the same period. Yet holding himself up as a bastion of BLP elsewhere (when it comes to BLPs of people he agrees with politically), he restored these very poor sources to a BLP lead. | |||
| ::::I did see that the same material is better sourced deeper in the article, otherwise I'd have removed it all, but that's not a reason to add bad sources too. | |||
| ::::Look, the point is that other people have been alleging that certain editors use BLPs of people they don't like as dumping grounds for criticism from poor sources, while at the same time whitewashing BLPs of people they do like no matter how good the sources are, and this looks like an example. <font color="blue">]</font> <small><sup><font color="red">]</font><font color="green">]</font></sup></small> 02:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::::This is getting very silly and dishonest. I haven't edited the Rekers article for months and I reverted an obvious act of vandalism; if someone else has added blog sources to the article I agree that needs to be fixed, but you can hardly hold me responsible for that. I corrected an obvious factual error on the Mann article which I've explained repeatedly and you haven't even acknowledged. In response you have been repeatedly lashing out and attacking me with no justification whatsoever. Might I remind you that you are still under that you appear to be flouting?

| it was called BADSITES, and I think it's a vast credit to Misplaced Pages that they've moved on from such things. You learn to tune out the people that can't/won't be reached, honestly (and if you look at my participation there, it's really dropped off), If there wasn't a Misplaced Pages Review, I quite think that there would be something like that already. It can be a useful safety valve. ] (]) 19:38, 20 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :As for the Shark tank comment, trust me.. nothing would surprise me. Daniel Brandt listed information on me on Hivemind, I've been targeted be a couple of users there for mockery/abuse etcetera..

| ::I guess, but I think you can understand where I'm coming from. As far as I'm concerned it's run by malicious kooks for malicious kooks, and the support of the non-malicious merely puts a veneer of respectability over a rotten core. It would have been far better to have consigned the kooks to their own website and started a reputable forum for reputable editors. -- ] (]) 19:42, 20 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::SirFozzie, editors in authority shouldn't need a place to vent their spleen outside of the several thousand forums on Misplaced Pages. But if they do, they should keep zipped about current situations in which they are officially involved. I'm not commenting on your Internet posts, but I was just annoyed to notice that one administrator active in the CC discussions, a professed "uninvolved administator," is posting on that message board about WMC's block. I think that's wrong. ] (]) 20:17, 20 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::::A fun exercise - count how many of the contributors to that thread are banned. -- ] (]) 20:26, 20 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :::::I'm less concerned with that than I am seeing editors who can and do wield power over others, and their participating in discussions concerning editors in which they are involved in active disputes. Since an arbitration committee member theoretically could become involved in anything, I don't see the wisdom of an arbcom member participating in net forums, if they take their volunteer responsibilities seriously. | |||
| Websites outside of Misplaced Pages are exempt from Wiki conduct rules. I don't think it's fair or right for administrators, who have so much power anyway, to babble on about other editors outside of Misplaced Pages's jurisdiction, if they expect to be trusted by the community. ] (]) 20:44, 20 August 2010 (UTC) | |||
