:: {{ping|Drmies}}, I'm disappointed because I expected you'd at least check the before agreeing with this nonsense. The section heading "Murder of Charlie Wilson" was clearly listed as a ''subheading'' of "Career as Informant". Nobody was accusing the subject of murdering Charlie Wilson, but instead discussing the claim that subject knew the identity of the killer. This is as far from a BLP violation as I can imagine. ]<sup><small style="font-size:80%;">(])</small></sup> 20:46, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

::::Yeah, {{u|John}}, I agree it could use a ], but that's a far cry from the outlandish claim that the subject was being "accused of being involved in ... murder". It also doesn't excuse a 3RR violation, when the policy explicitly states {{tq|"but my edits were right, so it wasn't edit warring" is no defense}}. This is ''especially'' egregious given the fact that ] was explicitly ''not'' used as rationale in any of the edit summaries, and the editor failed to participate in discussion which would have easily cleared this up despite urging to do just that. ]<sup><small style="font-size:80%;">(])</small></sup> 21:08, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
:::::AlexEng, I don't understand why you're disappointed in me--if you have any expectations of me, you should know me, and if you know me, you know that "err on the side of caution" is my BLP mantra. I do not understand why a slew of experienced editors can't just let that be while the matter is being discussed. ] (]) 21:10, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
::::::Drmies, we've had positive interactions before, and I had never known you to rush to conclusions. Your words carry a lot of weight, so I had hoped you would be more careful before publicly stating your agreement. ]<sup><small style="font-size:80%;">(])</small></sup> 21:29, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
:::::::AlexEng, please don't overestimate the weight of my words, or the importance I attach to the BLP. My wording is actually pretty careful here considering I have ''not'' delved so deeply into the matter that I want to speak out in condemnation of this editor or that--but I have looked deeply enough to be convinced that the BLP was reasonably invoked, which is about all I can ask for. I can be stubborn and sometimes less calm than I want to be when it comes to being reverted, but I hope it has never happened after someone invoked the BLP with a reasonable claim. I believe this here was reasonable enough, and reasonable enough for an unblock. I agree with John, about on who the onus is etc., and that Hillbillyholiday could have left better edit summaries; sure. But note when the block came--quite some time after Hillbillyholiday had stopped reverting, so there also I don't think this was a really good block--{{U|Alex Shih}}, I'm sorry, but do I see this correctly, that the block came a day after? ] (]) 21:48, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
::::::::{{u|Drmies}}, to the bulk of your response {{endash}} fair enough. However, I don't agree that the way in which Hillbillyholiday behaved is appropriate. If this were a case of a reasonable claim of ] by reason of BLP exception, it should have been stated... literally anywhere. Instead, I saw canned revert summaries, which only exacerbate an edit war. I should also point out that Hillbillyholiday for edit warring 5 days ago, and the report was closed as "stale" because he announced a wiki-break. I would say a block was warranted then, but avoided by that announcement. When you add up 3 incidents in 4 days, you don't think a 24h block is warranted to halt continued disruption? ]<sup><small style="font-size:80%;">(])</small></sup> 00:03, 25 August 2017 (UTC)
:::::Why would we mention the murder on his article if he was not involved in it? Yet none of the reliable sources made the connection. Detailed discussion of this is one for the article talk page really. But you must accept that HBH's edits were absolutely correct, and that anyone reverting was egregiously breaching BLP. I agree the edit summaries could have been clearer, but really the onus is on those wanting to restore the material. --] (]) 21:12, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
::::::I just explained why: because he was thought to have inside knowledge about the identity of the killer, according to the last statement in that paragraph. Why would you assume that the presence of a section heading with the word "murder" implies that the subject is the perpetrator? The article is largely about the subject's career as an informant. I absolutely do not accept that his edits were right, and I'm going to throw that back at you: you must accept that HBH's edits were absolutely incorrect, and that his reversions were an egregious breach of 3RR. To reiterate what I said in my previous statement, whether he was right or wrong, edit warring is unacceptable. Surely you must understand that, at least, even if we don't agree on the content dispute. ]<sup><small style="font-size:80%;">(])</small></sup> 21:29, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

You signed up for this and you ]. --] (]) 22:06, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
::::::::{{u|John}}, can you clarify to which "allegation" you are referring? My understanding is that you're talking about the claim that the subject of the article provided information to police about the murder of Charlie Wilson. This is not contentious, nor would it be considered contentious by a reasonable person; the subject is a well-known police informant. The evidence for that ''particular'' claim is spotty, if at all existent. I think we agree on that bit. What we don't agree on, if I understand correctly, is the idea that it is acceptable behavior to revert without explanation 7 times on an article and refuse to participate in discussion. If it is your position that this fits the standards of behavior on the project, then I oppose this point of view. It is supported neither by policy nor by the linked Arb case, which specifically points out that incivility is prohibited. ]<sup><small style="font-size:80%;">(])</small></sup> 23:48, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
:::::It seems I didn't look back far enough. So, just to clarify again. Did that article suggest that informing on the identity of the killer of Charlie Wilson was part of Michael's "'''Career as Informant'''"? Not quite as serious a claim as that he was involved in the murder, but a wholly unsubstantiated claim nevertheless? ], you're suggesting that it would be acceptable to leave the article in that version which suggested (very strongly to me, obviously) that Michael actually was involved in the murder? Are you intending to revert that last deletion by HBH? Thanks. ] (]) 21:24, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
::::::{{u|Martinevans123}}, I'm suggesting that a discussion, as initiated by Tenebrae in the article talk page would have easily cleared up any misunderstanding. At the very least, if he was serious about improving the article, he could have changed the section heading to be clearer rather than revert without comment 7 times. I'm also suggesting that this editor has actively refused, , to engage in talk page discussions when asked. ]<sup><small style="font-size:80%;">(])</small></sup> 21:34, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
:::::::And I'd have to agree with you, over the potential value of a Talk page discussion. I just think that your notion of "serious" and that held by HBH are currently "divergent." ] (]) 21:44, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Trump says, "I need one. I'm the smartest man in the USA and am needed to sort out the problems of the World!". So he takes one and jumps.
Boris says, "I'm needed to sort out Brexit". So he takes one and jumps.
The Pope says, "I need one as the world needs the Catholic Church." So he takes one and jumps.
Angela says to the ten-year-old, "You can have the last parachute. I've lived my life, yours is only just starting."
