Article talk page comments
Comments about user block logs are not advisable on article talk pages. – S. Rich (talk) 16:00, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
- Also, Srich, it was poor judgment for you to encourage that editor on his talk page recently. That editor is stepping into a discussion without regard to its history and is repeatedly reverting the stable version rather than engaging in talk. SPECIFICO talk 16:04, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Stalking/hounding
Why this revert? CarolMooreDC's edit was 8 months old, and your first edit to the article is to revert it? And what was so bad that the edit had to be reverted? (It seems the main thrust of her edit was to restructure 3 paragraphs into a logical 2 paragraph form and shorten some verbosity. Note how her 2 paragraph version has a paragraph of criticism and a paragraph of response, while the 3 paragraph version has the first paragraph criticism, a second paragraph that's half criticism half response beginning with an ambiguous "He", and a third paragraph of response.) I'm not saying you can't edit articles that CMDC edits, but when you follow her around to articles and revert her edits, that's when it turns into WP:Hounding. ~Adjwilley (talk) 05:30, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- Let me get this straight. On the one hand, you accuse me of "following" Carol by reverting her edit on an article she hadn't edited since mid 2013. (Her edit purged a Harvard Law professor's documentation of a book's anti-Semitic, pro-Holocaust denial passages.)
- On the other hand, Carol gets no criticism whatsoever from you for coming to articles a day after I arrive? (See WP:Competence and https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jews_and_Communism Steeletrap (talk) 05:41, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
- If my goal were following Carol, I would've followed her to a more recent dispute. I am a scholar of anti-semitism and a big fan of Alan Dershowitz (I have edited his page and related pages many times). I was shocked to read Dershowitz' remark that scholars at two world class institutions, Princeton and UChicago, had praised an anti-Semitic screed. I was puzzled when I arrived at the page of the author of the screed that all the quotes (read: evidence) Dershowitz presents are removed, and instead his accusations are presented as mere speculation/opinion. The clear aim of this is to discredit Dershowitz' point: after all, how credible is a mere accusation of "anti-semitism" with no supporting evidence? I found that it was Carol who deleted the quotes, and reverted her. Note that paraphrasing the quotations would be OK, but she didn't do that; she just said "dershowitz alleges x" and purged all of Dersh's (overwhelming) evidence.
- There is no hounding here, but there is plenty of bias, on your end. Steeletrap (talk) 05:41, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
