Hello
Paul: I introduced Sam S. to W. about six months ago. He is a little flakey, and he does add some gossipy stuff to his articles, but he is a smart man, he has an excellent memory and he is mostly writing what he knows. I hope you can find that Misplaced Pages (and the World, for that matter) is big enough for the two of you. I agree with your approach of mostly editing w/o a W account, but I note that some admins now delete IP-based edits without any meaningful discussion. AWM -- 71.139.171.168 08:24, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the thought--I do sometimes get a chuckle from reading Sam's writings outside Misplaced Pages, but Misplaced Pages is not the right venue for gossipy stuff and stuff sourced from unverifiable personal knowledge. Also, his reverting and disputing habits are similarly at odds with acceptable Misplaced Pages practices. Finally, I have to take issue with you about Sam's memory. His edits are full of factual errors both large and small, as reviewing the edit history of affected articles clearly shows, and he does not bother to research his assertions before making them. So other editors end up having to do what should be Sam's job, since he's the one making the assertions. Sam should either adapt his style to suit Misplaced Pages's standards, or choose to publish his stuff in other venues that are more suitable for him instead of in Misplaced Pages.
