Khalistan movement

Please read WP:COAT: by reverting to add a large quantity of content unrelated to the subject, you're causing the whole situation to adopt a significantly non-neutral point of view. Since your talk page archives have plenty of NPOV warnings, it's clear that you're familiar with our policies, so if you repeatedly restore this content, I'll request a block.

Hey @Nyttend. Thanks for your message here. I'm hoping we can have a respectful discussion on the article's t/p. I will not revert your latest edit there, but I disagree with your characterization of the removed content as "irrelevant", because it clearly is, at least to some extent. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 23:21, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi SAH. Firstly, I have to agree with Nyttend that your edits to Khalistan movement are not directly related to the subject of that article and skews the POV of that article. The subject of the added content is furthermore already covered in other articles.

Second, this edit tonight to Hardeep Singh Nijjar follows the same pattern of using the article's subject as a coatrack to add information on unrelated topics in order to skew a POV. Please confirm that you understand that you cannot use Article X to write about content that belongs in Article Y and that further NPOV violations will result in escalation. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  08:37, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@GhostOfDanGurney, please stop posting on my t/p, it's clear that you're piling on my t/p over a topic that does not concern you as a form of petty bullying/harassment and revenge. I will report you to the admins if you continue this behaviour, you've already been warned multiple times of your harassing edits including following another editor to antagonize them on Twitter.

Notice of Arbitration Enforcement noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a report involving you at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement regarding a possible violation of an Arbitration Committee decision. The thread is Southasianhistorian8. Thank you. ― "Ghost of Dan Gurney" (talk)  16:58, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

An offer outside the bounds of arbitration

Arbitration is generally not a place to settle content disputes. I put a clarifying statement up regarding WP:BLPCRIME but I don't want the arb page to turn into a back-and-forth between us about what WP:PUBLICFIGURE and WP:BLPCRIME mean. This is actually an area of Misplaced Pages I care about a lot because of the associated privacy considerations so if you have further questions about it I'd be happy to talk with you about it but we should probably move the discussion to user talk.

Yup, let's take to this to the t/p of Hardeep Singh Nijjar please. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 20:14, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

I would prefer to discuss this here because what I'm trying to explain to you is that there are policy reasons why it's inappropriate to be discussing the accusations against a legally innocent person on a Misplaced Pages article. Simonm223 (talk) 20:16, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Could you please point out where it says that we're forbidden from reporting on any allegations of wrongdoing from a person who is accused of a crime, but not convicted. Say a celebrity was accused of something, wouldn't Misplaced Pages update the accusations levied against them from reliable secondary sources, because a trial often takes months or years to complete. Southasianhistorian8 (talk) 20:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

A celebrity is a public figure. So is a politician. A plumber from Surrey isn't. Simonm223 (talk) 20:26, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Basically when deciding if Misplaced Pages should report on an accusation of a crime against a living person we have a three-step method:

1) We ask whether this person is well-known for reasons other than the accusations against them. If so we can proceed to report on it.

2) If they are not well-known for reasons other than the accusations against them we ask if they have been convicted of a crime. If the answer is yes we proceed to step 3. Otherwise we do not discuss them.

3) We determine whether the crime that person was convicted of meets WP:GNG or WP:EVENT notability standards. In this case we can write about the crime, including the convicted party. Simonm223 (talk) 20:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

So, for instance, WP:PUBLICFIGURE allows us to report on Sean Combs sexual misconduct allegations because Sean Combs is independently notable as a musician and producer. Simonm223 (talk) 20:31, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Basically, to determine if WP:PUBLICFIGURE applies, take away anything to do with that person being involved in criminal activity and see if there's enough information about them remaining to make a WP:BLPN compliant article. Simonm223 (talk) 20:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
