If i was you, and no offense meant, i'd read a little more about that other guy who gets rather mad when people use or quote the expression "concentration camp". And he has a lot of "reasonable" arguments too! --] (]) 07:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Fringe Pilot AfD

Due to the seeming confusion over the AfD caused by the two different articles, and the merging of the two into one, I have withdrawn the original AfD and nominated the single article for AfD at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Pilot (Fringe). As someone who commented on the original, I wanted to alert you to the new AfD so you can revisit and state your position on this single article. -- ] (] · ]) 15:52, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Some newspapers host interactive columns that they call blogs, and these may be acceptable as sources so long as the writers are professionals and the blog is subject to the newspaper's full editorial control.

— WP:BLP

Contrary to your contention, it is standard practice that newspapers retain editorial control over everything published under their name, including blogs. Hope this helps. :-) //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 02:10, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello J. I'd welcome your attention to the BLP problems with this article. The editor who was originally cited for edit warring there, User:Dead-or-Red, had his block lifted but then went on to perform additional reverts, so he got blocked again by a different admin. See User talk:Dead-or-Red, where you could join the latest unblock discussion if you wish. This article struggles to reach neutrality, but BLP shouldn't be an all-purpose tool for removing political criticism. In my view, the political criticism needs to be properly sourced and not expressed with a slanted vocabulary. From the discussion on Dead-or-Red's User talk, I don't think he gets the concept of consensus. He feels that the rightness of his views justifies any number of reverts. Getting all the editors to participate on the article Talk to agree on new language for the article would be an excellent move. EdJohnston (talk) 02:24, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I was just viewing recent changes, no other involvement in the article. The removal of such a large amount of text appeared to be vandalism. The edit summary could have linked to the talk section or to the blp noticeboard discussion. Of course reversion is ok as I'm not involved, I just sought to rv what looked to an onlooker like blanking. It would be nice if someone could 'grow' the article again with WP:RS. I didn't think the content was that nasty, but I'm sure other, more positive sources exist, to create a balanced article. Sticky Parkin 00:07, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

The editor in question actually reverted 6 times, and did the first 4 logged out to disguise his reverts, then dissembled about doing so. I'm tempted to block for even longer, but in any event am certainly not going to reduce the block. As for the BLP issues, I haven't looked at them closely, but the sources in question appeared to be reliable, and 3 respected editors did not consider there to be BLP issues.
