==That IP is back again==
I ask that you review the following comments which are quite typical of the behavior for which I've requested your attention. These comments are typical of the pattern that has developed on Griffin TP almost every single time I post something, or when I attempt to edit the article which is almost always reverted. It is clearly harassment and serves no helpful purpose in developing consensus. The post that resulted in the current PAs comprises links and excerpts to various WP policies and guidelines, , which I included in an attempt to help clarify some of the questions posed by a new collaborator, . My keyboard was still warm when the following two comments were posted in response to my post rather than in response to the new collaborator's post:
Hi Callanecc, That IP is back edit warring on the ] again and has now decided to . I see they have on the ] page, so I'm not the only one who is struggling with this individual. Someone on the Godley history says the range should be banned, but as they hop IPs to different countries, I'm not sure that's going to be much of a barrier, but who knows. Thanks - ] (])
* <--The remark that "This post is pretty silly", is a PA and unwarranted.
:I've blocked {{IPrange|213.55.128.0/17}} from editing those two pages for a week for edit warring. I did 36 hours last time so we can keep increasing as needed. <b>]</b> (] • ] • ]) 07:19, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
* <-- The comment, "it's disruptive to repeat this view, which is incorrect and which has previously been rejected here." is also a PA, no diffs were provided and it was unwarranted. Reciting policy on an article TP is not disruptive, it is not repeating a view, it is not incorrect, and if policy was previously rejected, I didn't know about it, and we should probably advise the Foundation so the policies can be rewritten.
::That's great - thanks very much indeed! - ] (]) 07:20, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
If the purpose of DS is to encourage discussion and develop a consensus, then the above two PAs (what appears to be harassment) from the same few editors needs your attention. I am posting it here now because I've let such behavior slide in the past, and look where it got me.
One last mention with regards to behavior issues from the same editors. The following appears to be ]. I certainly didn't receive any notice that the 1RR was lifted at Griffin, and neither did any of the other involved editors to my knowledge.
* - notification 1RR restriction has ended at Griffin
* - notification of 1RR restriction has ended at Griffin
* - pinged another editor in an effort to bypass the 1RR you imposed. I added it because it demonstrates tag-teaming as does the above, but you have already made note of such behavior in the recent past.
*] SPECIFICO made the following statement: ''While many established editors can be uncivil or even post personal attacks and accusations under the protection of various WP alliances and social connections, you have no such history or support here.''
I find that last diff very disconcerting. <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">]</font><font color="gold">&#9775;</font>] 21:02, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

*I took the liberty of reviewing these diffs, and I'm not seeing personal attacks in the first two diffs - the first diff may be mildly uncivil, but certainly not actionable; the second comment is a reasonable statement, although citing policy occasionally is fine - if such repetition does become ] or ], then the appropriate place to raise that is on the user talk pages, and follow ].

In that regard, I feel obligated to provide diffs to demonstrate the TE behavior by {{u|SPECIFICO}} which reveals what is actually taking place, and not what he is trying to lead you to believe, the most recent being his ping to you to review a discussion that includes casting aspersions against me by members of the opposition who have taken my comments out of context, and simply refuse to stop the PAs.

;SPECIFICO
The following truly needs your attention:
::* TE re: my response and its relevancy
::* TE re: what the RfC concerned - he claims it was about wording when it was actually about contentious labeling being fundamentally noncompliant with NPOV - not a suggestion for improvement of the article
::* TE re: my response and what he believes contentious means - not a suggestion for improvement of the article
::* TE re: claims I am '''misrepresenting policy''' - serves only to discredit me, not help the article
::* TE re: claims again that I '''fundamentally misrepresented policy''' - casting aspersions
::* TE re: false allegations of ] and ]
::* TE re: repeating the above false allegations citing linked policies above. He posted his response to my TP, which I moved to Griffin TP.
::* TE re: my posts and more groundless allegations
::* TE re: calling my post a "straw man argument"
::* TE re: repeats his straw man argument
::* Pings Callan to review discussion wherein I quoted Mayo Clinic and Cancer.gov, and was again attacked for doing so
::Callan, you are already aware of the "group activity", the efforts to sway community consensus and make things appear to be something they are not. In overall scheme of things, his actions could also be considered taunting and/or baiting based on their relentless nature. It actually appears as though they are taking turns trying to wear me down. I don't understand this behavior. Also keep in mind that SPECIFICO has not made one edit to the article itself, much less tried to improve article content except to support further discrediting of a BLP with no regard for ], the latter of which was demonstrated by his support to keep a contentious label in the first sentence of the lead per the RfC. It appears he has difficulty recognizing what actually constitutes a violation of BLP and/or our 3 core content policies, and therein the problem lies. Many of his contributions have focused on casting aspersions to discredit me rather than on article content, and he has done so repeatedly without including relevant diffs.
;Steeletrap
:: {{u|Steeletrap}} added a contentious label in the first sentence of the lead which violated policy and created an unstable article as the edit history further demonstrates;
::The contentious label in the first sentence of the lead was confirmed to be noncompliant with NPOV as per the recent RfC. Contentious material continues to be added and disputed by editors. Some of the editors who have disputed the contentious material are long time editors with years of experience creating and collaborating on biographies, and have had their work promoted to GAs and FAs.
::] content guidelines have taken precedence over ] and our 3 core content policies at Griffin, and that must stop, especially considering parts of the guidelines are even being ignored. Rather than go through months of diffs that will confirm TE by the opposition - most of which you have already been made aware - I will provide the most recent diffs which clearly demonstrate my position regarding the opposition's efforts to maintain Griffin as an attack page:
::* Steeletrap responds to SPECIFICO, "I'm here to stir things up and make change."
::* Steeletrap accuses me of being disruptive
::* Steeletrap specifically uses contentious labels that are defamatory and a clear violation of BLP policy.

::How do you think the above comments make me feel? Callan, I was wrongfully accused of SYNTH and OR violations on Griffin Talk because of accusations made by another editor who Dreadstar responded to thinking it was the correct action. I pinged you a couple of times, and what do I find when I arrive at Griffin Talk? You hatted my response to Dreadstar with a note that it was casting aspersions (which I respectfully request that you please remove since I was responding to comments directly above mine which shouldn't require diffs). I told Dreadstar that I wasn't going to initiate an AN, and addressed what Guy said about me, specifically that I was "trying to assert a lede which whistles and points in the opposite direction", and then he ended further discussion of it by stating "And that's enough of this discussion, since Atsme's draft is going nowhere." What do you suppose is the '''opposite direction''', Callan, and what do you make of his comment about ending discussion because my draft is going nowhere? The comments you hatted weren't aspersions, they were truth. . I find it curious that you said nothing about the incivility towards me, or the false accusations, or the fact Guy is demonstrating ]. Perhaps you can reassure me somehow that I am not being treated unfairly because it certainly appears that way. I'm a big girl, but you know what? It still hurts to even think the possibility exists. <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">]</font><font color="gold">&#9775;</font>] 06:39, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

The intent of repeatedly invoking libel appears to be a chilling effect. It is inappropriate in the context of this particular article, where your claims in respect of the text have been robustly rebutted.

:::::Guy, with all due respect, it isn't about what I'm saying, it's about your misinterpretation of it, and the statements you've made about me that simply are not true. I presented a proposal, you slammed it and closed the discussion, period the end. See the diffs above. How is that not ]? Other editors have noticed the problems re:NPOV, or contentious labels, or behavior and a few have commented about it, . In addition to shooting down the opposition at Griffin Talk, you have gone to editor TPs to criticize and discredit me even further. Your arguments rarely if ever include diffs to support your position. I am relieved to know your agenda is not rooted in malice or personal animus but it doesn't make your comments any less hurtful. Please don't forget there is a real person with real feelings at the other end of our discussions, and you should at least try to exert a little more effort into softening your tone.

:::::Re: your impression of "protected speech" - I'm not an attorney, and my intention is not to wikilawyer, but it is common knowledge that certain aspects of defamation in the U.S., Canada, UK, Germany, Holland and Belgium are actually not protected speech. You also mentioned above "absolute defense of truth in the UK", but that is cherrypicking the sweet parts of the law. The ] lists quite a few qualifiers to that argument, and I certainly wouldn't dismiss BLP policy as a result of what I '''think''' might hold true. {{xt|Truth: It is a defence for defamation to show the imputation in the statement complained of is substantially true.}} and {{xt|Honest opinion: It is a defence for defamation, to show the statement complained of was a statement of opinion}}. There you have two big '''uh-ohs'''. The lead uses contentious material as statement of fact in Wiki voice and it is not reliably sourced - therefore it is not opinion. I consider refusal to modify passages for policy compliance as taking unnecessary risks, especially after editors challenged the material for being potentially libelous and violative of policy. I realize the "honest opinion" defense is a good one, '''but''' {{xt|where courts have not protected terms like “quack,” they were used in a context specifically suggesting untrue facts. See, e.g., Nasr v. Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, 632 F.Supp.1024 (E.D. IL 1986) (though calling a doctor a “quack” has been found to be protected opinion, '''when used in manner suggesting false underlying facts, it was actionable''').}} I wouldn't totally dismiss Moss' book because it does play a role, even if it's minor. It supports some of what Griffin claims in his book. Our job is to present RS material with strict adherence to NPOV in a dispassionate tone, and that's what I've been trying to do. Also see the following updated material as an FYI: . Times, they are a changing. I disagree with your position based on my own RL experiences, and the potential and variables we sometimes overlook, or simply cannot predict as absolute. '''When in doubt, leave it out.''' BLP policy also supports avoiding such risk per the words, '''especially if potentially libelous'''. Per ] - {{xt|If you cannot find multiple reliable third-party sources documenting the allegation or incident, leave it out.}} Our dispute isn't about content, it's about compliance with BLP policy. The sources you claim as RS clearly fail the acid test, including Media Matters which is a partisan progressive non-profit website whose mission is to discredit their opponents (conservatives and libertarians) and what '''they believe''' is "conservative misinformation". Griffin's history with ], and his advocacy in the libertarian/conservative political arenas automatically create the COI, therefore MM is an unreliable source for the addition of contentious material per ]. You call my attempts to make the article policy compliant "whitewashing" - I call it strict adherence to BLP policy. <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">]</font><font color="gold">&#9775;</font>] 19:18, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

The 1st Amendment does ''not'' protect you from someone accusing or suing you for slander or libel. So you are actually wrong that the 1st Amendment protects you from the things that you say which may or are claimed to be slander or libel. ] ''may'' protect you, but you need to show proof that what you said about another person is a true statement, among meeting several other criteria (which I don't know off the top of my head).

::::: Atsme, you flatly refuse to accept the consensus that the laetrile scam promoted in Griffin's book ''World Without Cancer'' is quackery, despite abundant evidence that it is exactly that - you have also repeatedly proposed primary research showing a quite different use of amygdalin as if it in some way validates the scam promoted in Griffin's book even though your error has been pointed out probably a dozen times by now you have explained your reasoning many times, consistently unpersuasively, you've proposed farcically unreliable sources such as "geoengineeringwatch", a chemtrail conspiracy site, and you've had several experienced editors reject your proposed edits as violating ].
::::: How many people have to tell you that characterising as "quackery" is not a violation of ], before you finally accept it? Seriously, will you ''ever'' accept it, ''however'' many people tell you? Griffin's book promotes a quack cancer cure, and he erects a conspiracy theory around its failure to achieve acceptance. As a Bircher, he is taking part in the John Birch Society's defence of one of its own, the quack John Richardson, prosecuted for selling the laetrile fraud. His book was an apologia for quackery because ''that's what it was supposed to be''. He never intended to write a neutral book, he set out to write a book in support of a fellow Bircher. History judges this scam harshly: this is not Misplaced Pages's problem to fix.
::::: Despite this you keep asserting BLP violations and "libel", apparently as a way of suppressing opposition to changes that only you seem to want, despite numeorus debates on the Talk page concluding that the content you hate so much violates BLP or constitutes libel.

#{{u|Callanecc}}, we need to be clear on the fact that I did not accuse anyone of libel, and I would appreciate it if you would strike your allegation. My mention of the term came after the following comments by a tenured editor with 10 years invested, and is ranked #96 on the ], , . My post followed a few days later: .
#I also asked you to strike your allegation that I was casting aspersions when you hatted my post to Dreadstar re: my decision to not initiate an AN against him for his wrongful accusations of OR and SYNTH on Griffin Talk. It appears you took his side when you made the decision to "not delve into that". No reason to now: ]
#You said I was casting aspersions but you didn't identify what statement you felt was problematic. However, you quickly wrote-off Guy's words as "could be picked better" and that "what he says is supported by sources and consensus." While I've actually grown accustomed to Guy's remarks, I just want to make sure you don't take them seriously since you believe what he says is supported by sources and consensus. He said, "Atsme, you flatly refuse to accept the consensus that the laetrile scam promoted in Griffin's book ''World Without Cancer'' is quackery," ? Of course there are no diffs to support his statement, but I can certainly provide a diff with a quote from the actual passage I wrote (and was quickly reverted) that negates his claim: {{xt|In the 1970s, Griffin authored '']'' (1974), a book he wrote after the "persistent hammering away on the significance of vitamin therapy" by his friend John A. Richardson, a physician from San Francisco, CA. The book is about the drug Laetrile, a chemically modified form of ] (]) which was once used in combination with other alternative therapies in the treatment of cancer but subsequently banned in the US as it is scientifically unsupported and not approved by the ]. Griffin includes a disclaimer in his book that states "This story is not approved by orthodox medicine. The FDA, the ], and ] have labeled it fraud and ]."}}
#With the most recent changes to the article, I did suggest using updated terminology to coincide with what ACS and NIH have indicated. As other editors have pointed out, the term quackery is potentially libelous depending on how it is used. Do you trust Guy or any other editor to make such a determination for WP, or do you think it's best to follow policy which states the following on BLP TPs: {{xt|Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, '''especially if potentially libellous'''.}} The way I originally used the terminology was cited with an inline text attribution from Griffin's own book which was in complete compliance with policy. That isn't the case for the contentious material in the lead now, some of which is cited to questionable and outdated sources, such as Media Matters, and sources over 30+ years old, not to mention those passages that are not supported by the sources cited, or are poorly sourced. But then, you believe what Guy says is supported by sources and consensus, and that I am accusing people of libel. I do hope you will take some time to reevaluate your position. <font style="text-shadow:#F8F8FF 0.2em 0.2em 0.4em,#F4BBFF -0.2em -0.3em 0.6em,#BFFF00 0.8em 0.8em 0.6em;color:#A2006D">]</font><font color="gold">&#9775;</font>] 06:57, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Same way DanS76 had signed in after 58 days just for restoring the preferred version of Zhanzhao? This account had self admitted to be 49.244. and then edited his comment with 124.41.243.167. This account pushes some "link to a WSJ article" while Zhanzhao pushed "article from WSJ". There are more evidences that I can mention if you would like to look upon. There is a great likely hood of sock puppetry on going and Zhanzhao has learned how to fool CU results, a process that is being already extensively currently discussed on an RfC of ].

My experience is that the 1RR was a great thing for the Arab-Israeli section. It doesn't stop edit-warring, but it makes people pause before reverting again. It also helps to get rid of fly-by-night political activists. I suspect that a similar restriction on the Pakistan/India area would be good there too, though it ought to be discussed more widely first.

:It's a good idea in principle, but I don't think they'd be consensus (not that that's technically needed) for imposing it generally across the whole topic. That said it can be really helpful if placed on a case by case basis.

That IP is back again

Hi Callanecc, That IP is back edit warring on the List of Maggie Smith performances again and has now decided to label my edits as vandalism and call me a troll in the process. I see they have also edit warred and labelled as vandalism on the Janey Godley page, so I'm not the only one who is struggling with this individual. Someone on the Godley history says the range should be banned, but as they hop IPs to different countries, I'm not sure that's going to be much of a barrier, but who knows. Thanks - SchroCat (talk)

I've blocked 213.55.128.0/17 (block range · block log (global) · WHOIS (partial)) from editing those two pages for a week for edit warring. I did 36 hours last time so we can keep increasing as needed. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 07:19, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
