Mission

There are a lot of updates needed on cities and towns in wikitravel.org . Some pages have not been updated there in years. Travelmite (talk) 11:59, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Your posting at COIN and other stuff

Hi Travelmite. I saw your posting at COIN and thought that some discussion here on the side might be useful. I have worked on COI issues for a long time in WP, as well as some controversial stuff (mostly science-based, not political, which is a whole different ball of wax). Would you be open to talking a bit about your posting at COIN, and the bigger picture here in Misplaced Pages? Best regards, Jytdog (talk) 23:57, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

How do we get around the "outing" issue? I think it's a fair policy. Travelmite (talk) 23:59, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
I am glad that you respect the OUTING policy. Thats good. Discussion on Misplaced Pages about someone's real world identity, must be based on what that person does and what they write, here in Misplaced Pages. So.... do you have any diffs of the editor disclosing a relationship with the Canadian Monarchist League here in Misplaced Pages? That is a yes/no question, and this will be most efficient if you just answer yes or no.... (the conversation will continue, I just need to know that first) Thanks.

No. As far as I've checked, it's not in Misplaced Pages (unless the fear of being outed is counted) Travelmite (talk) 01:05, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Fear of being outed doesn't count for anything, except to show that someone is being harassed. OK, in a situation where the editor has not self-disclosed, what you can do is go to their talk page (not any article talk page) and ask them - politely, simply, and directly - if they have some connection in the real world to topics they edit. If they say "no", the COI investigation ends. In this case the editor has already denied any connection to the organization on Misplaced Pages, and so doing so would be a bad thing to do. With no diffs and an already-stated denial of a connection, you cannot -- cannot - continue making claims of COI. Doing so is personal attack and harassment and will lead to you being blocked and rightly so. So you need to stop doing that. There is more I can tell you about else you can do, but I want to be sure we are on the same page on this COI angle. Are we? Jytdog (talk) 01:21, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
