Revert on Sati

Only one source is Tagged, not any other, you simply reverted back to the favorite version of Single purpose account, without explaining much.

FYI you were obliquely mentioned

FYI, I made reference to the AFD "filing party" as an edit warrior, without naming names, but of course I meant you. The mention is here. I'm not seeking any action against you specifically, just wanting the process to work without shortcutting. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 22:11, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

You should not be surprised

You should not be surprised. There was zero chance that it would be deleted. There may be no cabel, but if there were this one would be so deeply entrenched as to be impossible to break. Arzel (talk) 02:22, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Convince me without histrionics but with logic and discussion of the content of RSs that the list criteria are original research, and I'll switch to "delete". NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 06:48, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Your edit-warring at List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming

Hello. In the course of closing the recent AfD concerning List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), I noticed that you have recently, on 30 December 2013, engaged in an edit-war in which you sought to suppress all of the content of the list, after nominating it for deletion, to wit:

1. reverting JayJay
2. reverting Bluerasberry
3. reverting NewsAndEventsGuy
4. reverting Rhododendrites

The article was then protected following a AN3 report, ending the revert war. As you are aware, the topic area is subject to discretionary sanctions (WP:ARBCC#Standard discretionary sanctions), and edit-warring is forbidden.

You contend in your edit summaries that your content removals were based on WP:BLP. However, it appears that your interpretation of the BLP policy as applying to this article is contested, and the AfD did not result in consensus that the article's contents do in fact violate that policy. Per WP:3RRNO, "what counts as exempt under BLP can be controversial. Consider reporting to the BLP noticeboard instead of relying on this exemption." Your recourse to edit-warring, against multiple good-faith editors, to suppress the content that you consider to violate WP:BLP strikes me as particularly inappropriate because you did so while a deletion discussion which you initiated was underway, which would have been the appropriate forum in which to find a consensus-based solution to the question of whether or not this list violates the BLP policy. By attempting to ram through your preferred outcome of the deletion discussion by way of edit-warring, you violated the principle that Misplaced Pages content is determined by consensus, and the edit-warring policy.

For these reasons, I consider imposing discretionary sanctions against you to prevent you from repeating such actions. You now have the opportunity to respond to this and to make an argument why I should not do so, or any other statement that might help resolve this problem.

It does not matter if others think my interpretation of BLP is wrong, I was acting in goog faith. Sanction away. Darkness Shines (talk) 11:02, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
