RfC: Weight given to historical revisionist views

I have not found much in the way of guidelines for political/nationalistic/religious-based historical revisionism that seeks to rationalize, sanitize or idealize the past in a way that promotes a particular political/nationalistic/religious PoV. There is a current RfC at Juan Manuel de Rosas that needs more input than just the parties involved so far. Since you have dealt with similar situations in the past, and whether you agree with my take or not, I would appreciate your insight and any guidelines that would apply there and for future reference (this type of sparring occurs regularly). Thanks. • Astynax 20:02, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

I'll take a look. Jayjg 18:40, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
That's a very complex discussion. I think it requires knowledge of Argentinian historians, and schools of Argentinian historiography; unfortunately, I don't possess that knowledge. Jayjg 22:49, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

Constant Rijkenberg

Please undelete this article. The rules for poker biographies have been changed, see wikiproject:poker. One EPT win or a win of over $1 million is now sufficient. He won an EPT for over $2 million, among other things. And he's still always in the news, since that deletion took place, including becoming a sponsored pro for Partouche Poker.

I've started a Deletion Review discussion for you. See Misplaced Pages:Deletion review/Log/2013 February 18. Jayjg 21:56, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Admin's Barnstar
For your level-headed focus on policy in both content and conduct, and your encouragement to others - often with carrot, sometimes with stick when necessary - to do the same, even when the discussion gets heated. Your efforts have been very much appreciated. Zad68 16:38, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Removal of fpp.co.uk links, etc

Jayjg, I understand and agree with removing links to the works of David Irving, but some of your removals are throwing out valid citations (e.g. to the Times and the Independent) which are merely copied onto Irving's website. I don't want in any way to defend or highlight Irving, but most of the references are to things unrelated to his Holocaust denial. Clearly, alternatives should be sought, but I am afraid they won't be if you don't leave a hint as to what was removed. Is it possible to simply tag for deprecation and cleanup? Malay Agin (talk) 21:32, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Given the speed at which you removed the links I would assume you did not read many of them? The ones removed seem to me to be often rather less offensive than the ones left for example on es.wikipedia see --BozMo talk 13:32, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
Incidentally how did we get quite so many links in the first place? --BozMo talk 13:34, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
