I agree with what’s been said so far, but would like to stress that WP:COI is the biggest problem with Matt Sanchez. And it's not limited to his own WP bio. He's made self-serving edits to as well. According to Sanchez he is by such rightwing publications as The Weekly Standard and The National Review. Most of his edits seem tailored to drive traffic to his blog or other web sites that publish him or to give a boost to his new career as a rightwing commentator.

Repeated violations of WP:AUTO, WP:SOCK, WP:OWN, WP:NPA, WP:CIV, WP:NPOV.

Statement of the Dispute:

Bluemarine is a screen name used by Matt Sanchez. He has a history of vicious, personal attacks against other editors, and of editing his own biographical page on the encyclopedia, in violation of WP:AUTO. As evidenced by his talk page, he has been threatened with banning several times, but no action has ever been taken.

Desired Outcome:

Given his repeated flouting of Misplaced Pages policies and personal attacks on other users, despite repeated warnings, Bluemarine should be stripped of editing privileges on the article in question. If the admission of prostitution is not included, and Bluemarine is allowed to continue to use this page primarily as a vanity article about himself, then this article should be deleted as it doesn't meet notability guidelines.

Description

Blumarine, aka Matt Sanchez, was eventually exposed as a sockpuppet making autobiographical edits to his own biography page. Since that time he has been doing a very good job at smokescreening - creating non-issues for argument and making people angry and nitpicking and diluting the debate about what really matters: Is the information notable? Why is there an article about him in the first place? It is not a fan page, he does not have ownership over the article, and he cannot dictate every bit of information that goes in it. He has admitted to being a prositute in the past. This, along with his past as a gay porn actor, and his current attempts as a political commentator, are the sole reason there is an article about him at Misplaced Pages in the first place.Typing monkey 08:18, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Outside view by JetLover

Looking at Marine's disruptive behavior, I can say that it has gone on for too long. Personally, I think he has been told to stop too any times, I think a long block should be in store for him. He should be punnished for his behavior. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 00:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree with what’s been said so far, but would like to stress that WP:COI is the biggest problem with Matt Sanchez. And it's not limited to his own WP bio. He's made self-serving edits to other WP articles as well. According to Sanchez he is “being paid as a journalist and rather well” by such rightwing publications as The Weekly Standard and The National Review. Most of his edits seem tailored to drive traffic to his blog or other web sites that publish him or to give a boost to his new career as a rightwing commentator. His contributions to the WP article on the Scott Thomas Beauchamp Controversy are especially problematic because Sanchez was the primary source for most of the contentious, negative information on Scott Thomas Beauchamp, a man who is not a notable public figure. This, of course, also raises issues related to WP:BLP and WP:SPS. JMarkievicz2 05:50, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
