Google in China: The Big Disconnect
Snip from an extensive feature by Clive Thompson in the NYT:
The small rooms were full of eager young Chinese men in hip sweatshirts clustered around enormous flat-panel monitors, debugging code for new Google projects. "The ideals that we uphold here are really just so important and noble," Lee told me. "How to build stuff that users like, and figure out how to make money later. And 'Don't Do Evil' " — he was referring to Google's bold motto, "Don't Be Evil" — "all of those things. I think I've always been an idealist in my heart."
Yet Google's conduct in China has in recent months seemed considerably less than idealistic. In January, a few months after Lee opened the Beijing office, the company announced it would be introducing a new version of its search engine for the Chinese market. To obey China's censorship laws, Google's representatives explained, the company had agreed to purge its search results of any Web sites disapproved of by the Chinese government, including Web sites promoting Falun Gong, a government-banned spiritual movement; sites promoting free speech in China; or any mention of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. If you search for "Tibet" or "Falun Gong" most anywhere in the world on google.com, you'll find thousands of blog entries, news items and chat rooms on Chinese repression. Do the same search inside China on google.cn, and most, if not all, of these links will be gone. Google will have erased them completely.

4/20/06 Heckler disrupts Chinese President Hu's speech on south lawn at White House: 'President Bush, stop him from killing'... 'Stop persecuting the Falun Gong,' she yelled... She also shouted in Chinese, 'President Hu, your days are numbered, No more time for China's ruling party'... woman was taken away by uniformed secret service officers... right after Bush urged Hu to allow Chinese to 'speak freely'... She also unfurled a yellow 'Falun Gong' banner... She had a temporary pass with a big 'T' on it...
On China TV: As Hu Jintao was speaking, as yells of protesters became audible, the screen went black. Feed then came back and once again went black when woman was once again audible. During CNN International's post-speech commentary, at mention of south lawn heckler, screen went black again... feed returned when topic was no longer being discussed...

It is considered very bad form to remove a POV tag added by another editor (Schlotzman on the Neil Bush article), *especially* when the editor who added it is not yet satisified and is actively participating in discussion.

Hi, I saw you participated in this discussion on whether the article should be removed. Now we are discussing whether it should be moved. The discussion is mostly me and one other editor, and I think we are hitting deadlock time and again. I am not asking you to informally mediate, but another opion would be nice.
The actor who first played Floyd Lawson was replaced by someone else. Then, the way I read it, they decided to make it more plausible by having the second actor say he was the first Floyd's son instead. Clarityfiend 03:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, geez... if you've been so civil this entire time then why on earth did you apologize for how you acted in the first place? You know, the part where you came in like an asshole and deleted everyones work and without any provocation called me a hypocrite to top it off? LOL Get real. OK, now continue to stalk me on my Talk Page despite me asking you repeatedly to leave me alone.

Man you are hilarious! It almost (but not quite) makes it worth it that you are going to try and trash everyone's work on that article! LOL Actually, the first thing you DID when you came in here was blank the section without talking it over with anyone and then sprinkled a nice insult over it to boot. Gawd, you are distorted, bro....
Now here's where you are getting funny as hell....
On the article talk page you say, " ... I already apologized for insulting you once, and when I was using the word, I was not using it as an insult. ..." which is hilarious, because there in the same sentence you say you were sorry for insulting me, but, ah... you didn't insult me. So you apologized for NOT insulting me? You asshole!!! LOL!!!!! :P Now here you are just now saying that calling me a hypocrite (specifically) is not an insult at all. Ok, well then calling you an asshole or dick isn't either, ok? ROTFL!!!!!! As a matter of fact, for now on, whenever I meet people I'll say, "hello there, hypocrite!" as a universal greeting of friendship and understanding.... ROTFL!!!!!! Hahaaha. BTW, I saw your nice comment you interjected into my serveral year old conversation up there, NICE! LOL Cowicide ( talk) 21:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
While I appreciate the invitation to comment, Cowicide, my contributions to the Repo Man article were remarkably minor. Until checking the article's history, I was actually certain that I had not touched the article in question. I appreciate the diverse amount of material available through trivia sections, but I also understand that expounding about trivia detracts from the Wikipedia's overall seriousness and credibility. As the saying goes, "I have no dog in this fight". I hope the two of you reach a satisfactory conclusion. EvilCouch ( talk) 02:57, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Listen, I honestly want to start over/continue from where we left off, as in, before you accused me wrongly as being a liar. I never lied to you, and when I made the comment about a resolution to your talk page, that was an hour after I blanked the section.

As you can clearly see by the information I provided, I posted the new section on your talk page more then an hour after I blanked the section.

See Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/September 11 conspiracy theories. I believe that "alleged" has been considered and rejected in the lead of the article, on the grounds that, in fairness, we'd have to list the 1000s of reliable sources which are so alleging.
If my interpretation is correct, you may be blocked by an uninvolved admin with no futher warning. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the links that contain such brilliant arguments as:
" ... "Allegedly" is not neutral. It is an affirmation of doubt. ... The claim there is a dispute is not neutral. ... "
In other words, even though there IS a dispute (over 36 percent of Americans consider it likely that government officials either allowed the 9/11 attacks to be carried out or perpetrated the attacks) Wikipedia cannot perform as an encyclopedia and must instead bend reality and must use wording that makes it appear that there is no dispute. That's a nice line of bullshit, right there.
Well, I can tell by the hostility (threatened with a ban almost from the start) that this isn't going to go anywhere. So, I'll just join the masses that are coming to believe Wikipedia isn't a reliable source of information on topics and is biased towards uncomfortable issues. Cowicide ( talk) 20:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
In the future, please discuss any planned edits on the talk page first before implementing them. You will save yourself and the rest of us quite a bit of grief if you do so. You will also find that your concerns have been discussed repeatidly in the talk page archives. Consensus there has dictated that the edits you made are not warented.

Your recent editing history at Koch Industries shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. . I haven't actually counted your reverts, but if the "top 10" had been in the article previously, you're at at least 3. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:07, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Cowicide, I tried to translate your Chinese on Google. Your webpage came up in the related search results. One of Wikipedia's goals is to keep the articles available for searching, but keep the other stuff out of search engine results. While I am putting this awkardly, WP does not allow editors to use WP as a host webpage. So that is why I have added the "magic words"__NOINDEX__ to the top of your userpage. (For more info, see WP:FAKEARTICLE and related guidiance.) The template will not show up on the page. But it may save some trouble later on. Thanks. – S. Rich ( talk) 05:05, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
To those who just sent the email threats against my life because of my Koch Industries edits, I'll have you know I enjoyed them and your IP address visits to our honeypots. Expect Us. It just inspires me even more to continue to unwash your whitewash and continue to work towards a Wikipedia with better NPOV Cowicide ( talk) 07:35, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Please look at WP:CANVAS. One criteria of concern is the message being forwarded. It should be unbiased. The various editors you are contacting are indeed quite experienced. And with that experience in mind, I surmise they are familiar with canvasing guidelines. Accordingly, they are likely to ignore your request. (If they do chose to respond, I am confident they will provide valuable input.) – S. Rich ( talk) 21:18, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Keep stalking like celery, Rich. It interesting how you nervously watch my every move and even the people I contact. How much does Koch Industries pay you, anyway? Cowicide ( talk) 22:35, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
I took a moment to review the inquiry you left on my talk page. It is my opinion that, in the rare instance where a subject has generated such voluminous, disparate criticisms, the best solution is to create a standalone article that specifically addresses such details per WP:SUMMARY. With that said, and as someone who has encountered similar situations in the past, I would also advise you to try really hard to keep your cool. The worst thing you can do is allow valuable information to be omitted simply because you get emotionally involved and earn sanctions. All the best, — C M B J 01:15, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
I urge you to dial back the invective. Please read Wikipedia:Edits_not_editors#Discuss_Edits.2C_Not_Editors which you have violated multiple times. I note most of those attacked have turned the other cheek and have not complained, but that doesn't make it right.-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 16:44, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Ok, I hope it has become apparent to you that your approach to getting more attention on this situation is not exactly the right one. This is not to say you are wrong about what is happening, just that the way you are trying to draw in more users is not acceptable. I won't belabor the point about canvassing and forum shopping as I can see both policies have already been brought to your attention. I would suggest withdrawing the myriad conversations you have been opening and using proper channels for dispute resolution if you want people to look at the content and not at you and your behavior. The dispute resolution noticeboard may be able to help you achieve that. Just some free advice to take or leave as you please. Beeblebrox ( talk) 21:05, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
FYI, the four links at the top of this page and your userpage came up with non-found or 404 errors. (Could this be the result of Chinese censorship? I haven't a clue.) – S. Rich ( talk) 03:14, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Organic farming shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Yobol ( talk) 04:09, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
organic farming. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jytdog ( talk) 05:46, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
i looked through the edits from yesterday again, and chose a more proximal restore point, to just before the intense edit warring began. Jytdog ( talk) 16:46, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
Cowicide, it appears it was your edits and behavior that was mostly out of line here looking over the talk page and discussions. Remember that we focus on content, not contributors, and it's really starting to look like you've fallen into the same hole many others do when trying to tackle scientific topics for the first time. Jytdog summarized our standard approach for dealing with scientific topics here quite well. [8] That is how we deal with NPOV in such articles, and it seems like you're moving too quickly to really grasp that concept. You're also getting quite a bit of a WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality from the looks of it and getting too focused on what you're thinking about other editors (remember WP:AGF) by what I've read above. When someone gets passionate on a topic, it's very easy to make the mistakes you've been making, but you really need to slow down if you want to contribute to the article. It's looking like this is all just a combination of you not liking that your edits were reverted and a misunderstanding about how we deal with scientific content. The more you pushed against that, the more other editors had to deal with you in a less and less friendly manner. Time to drop the stick and take a listen to what people are actually saying about content over at the article. If reliable sources say something, then we reflect that in content with appropriate weight. Kingofaces43 ( talk) 19:06, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
The article is now locked for three days at the restore point. I do hope you come and Talk during this time so we can establish some common ground. That's what this time is for. See you on the article Talk page! Jytdog ( talk) 20:44, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Google in China: The Big Disconnect
Snip from an extensive feature by Clive Thompson in the NYT:
The small rooms were full of eager young Chinese men in hip sweatshirts clustered around enormous flat-panel monitors, debugging code for new Google projects. "The ideals that we uphold here are really just so important and noble," Lee told me. "How to build stuff that users like, and figure out how to make money later. And 'Don't Do Evil' " — he was referring to Google's bold motto, "Don't Be Evil" — "all of those things. I think I've always been an idealist in my heart."
Yet Google's conduct in China has in recent months seemed considerably less than idealistic. In January, a few months after Lee opened the Beijing office, the company announced it would be introducing a new version of its search engine for the Chinese market. To obey China's censorship laws, Google's representatives explained, the company had agreed to purge its search results of any Web sites disapproved of by the Chinese government, including Web sites promoting Falun Gong, a government-banned spiritual movement; sites promoting free speech in China; or any mention of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre. If you search for "Tibet" or "Falun Gong" most anywhere in the world on google.com, you'll find thousands of blog entries, news items and chat rooms on Chinese repression. Do the same search inside China on google.cn, and most, if not all, of these links will be gone. Google will have erased them completely.

4/20/06 Heckler disrupts Chinese President Hu's speech on south lawn at White House: 'President Bush, stop him from killing'... 'Stop persecuting the Falun Gong,' she yelled... She also shouted in Chinese, 'President Hu, your days are numbered, No more time for China's ruling party'... woman was taken away by uniformed secret service officers... right after Bush urged Hu to allow Chinese to 'speak freely'... She also unfurled a yellow 'Falun Gong' banner... She had a temporary pass with a big 'T' on it...
On China TV: As Hu Jintao was speaking, as yells of protesters became audible, the screen went black. Feed then came back and once again went black when woman was once again audible. During CNN International's post-speech commentary, at mention of south lawn heckler, screen went black again... feed returned when topic was no longer being discussed...

Please stop the reverting of people trying to make the Neil Bush article better. It isn't vandalism, it's an attempt to come to some sort of concensus wording. BlazinBuggles 15:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

It is considered very bad form to remove a POV tag added by another editor (Schlotzman on the Neil Bush article), *especially* when the editor who added it is not yet satisified and is actively participating in discussion.

Hi, I saw you participated in this discussion on whether the article should be removed. Now we are discussing whether it should be moved. The discussion is mostly me and one other editor, and I think we are hitting deadlock time and again. I am not asking you to informally mediate, but another opion would be nice.

Well, geez... if you've been so civil this entire time then why on earth did you apologize for how you acted in the first place? You know, the part where you came in like an asshole and deleted everyones work and without any provocation called me a hypocrite to top it off? LOL Get real. OK, now continue to stalk me on my Talk Page despite me asking you repeatedly to leave me alone.

Man you are hilarious! It almost (but not quite) makes it worth it that you are going to try and trash everyone's work on that article! LOL Actually, the first thing you DID when you came in here was blank the section without talking it over with anyone and then sprinkled a nice insult over it to boot. Gawd, you are distorted, bro....
Now here's where you are getting funny as hell....
On the article talk page you say, " ... I already apologized for insulting you once, and when I was using the word, I was not using it as an insult. ..." which is hilarious, because there in the same sentence you say you were sorry for insulting me, but, ah... you didn't insult me. So you apologized for NOT insulting me? You asshole!!! LOL!!!!! :P Now here you are just now saying that calling me a hypocrite (specifically) is not an insult at all. Ok, well then calling you an asshole or dick isn't either, ok? ROTFL!!!!!! As a matter of fact, for now on, whenever I meet people I'll say, "hello there, hypocrite!" as a universal greeting of friendship and understanding.... ROTFL!!!!!! Hahaaha. BTW, I saw your nice comment you interjected into my serveral year old conversation up there, NICE! LOL Cowicide ( talk) 21:50, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
While I appreciate the invitation to comment, Cowicide, my contributions to the Repo Man article were remarkably minor. Until checking the article's history, I was actually certain that I had not touched the article in question. I appreciate the diverse amount of material available through trivia sections, but I also understand that expounding about trivia detracts from the Wikipedia's overall seriousness and credibility. As the saying goes, "I have no dog in this fight". I hope the two of you reach a satisfactory conclusion. EvilCouch ( talk) 02:57, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Listen, I honestly want to start over/continue from where we left off, as in, before you accused me wrongly as being a liar. I never lied to you, and when I made the comment about a resolution to your talk page, that was an hour after I blanked the section.

As you can clearly see by the information I provided, I posted the new section on your talk page more then an hour after I blanked the section.

See Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/September 11 conspiracy theories. I believe that "alleged" has been considered and rejected in the lead of the article, on the grounds that, in fairness, we'd have to list the 1000s of reliable sources which are so alleging.
If my interpretation is correct, you may be blocked by an uninvolved admin with no futher warning. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:51, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the links that contain such brilliant arguments as:
" ... "Allegedly" is not neutral. It is an affirmation of doubt. ... The claim there is a dispute is not neutral. ... "
In other words, even though there IS a dispute (over 36 percent of Americans consider it likely that government officials either allowed the 9/11 attacks to be carried out or perpetrated the attacks) Wikipedia cannot perform as an encyclopedia and must instead bend reality and must use wording that makes it appear that there is no dispute. That's a nice line of bullshit, right there.
Well, I can tell by the hostility (threatened with a ban almost from the start) that this isn't going to go anywhere. So, I'll just join the masses that are coming to believe Wikipedia isn't a reliable source of information on topics and is biased towards uncomfortable issues. Cowicide ( talk) 20:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
In the future, please discuss any planned edits on the talk page first before implementing them. You will save yourself and the rest of us quite a bit of grief if you do so. You will also find that your concerns have been discussed repeatidly in the talk page archives. Consensus there has dictated that the edits you made are not warented.

Your recent editing history at Koch Industries shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. . I haven't actually counted your reverts, but if the "top 10" had been in the article previously, you're at at least 3. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:07, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Cowicide. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions.

Cowicide, I tried to translate your Chinese on Google. Your webpage came up in the related search results. One of Wikipedia's goals is to keep the articles available for searching, but keep the other stuff out of search engine results. While I am putting this awkardly, WP does not allow editors to use WP as a host webpage. So that is why I have added the "magic words"__NOINDEX__ to the top of your userpage. (For more info, see WP:FAKEARTICLE and related guidiance.) The template will not show up on the page. But it may save some trouble later on. Thanks. – S. Rich ( talk) 05:05, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
To those who just sent the email threats against my life because of my Koch Industries edits, I'll have you know I enjoyed them and your IP address visits to our honeypots. Expect Us. It just inspires me even more to continue to unwash your whitewash and continue to work towards a Wikipedia with better NPOV Cowicide ( talk) 07:35, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Please look at WP:CANVAS. One criteria of concern is the message being forwarded. It should be unbiased. The various editors you are contacting are indeed quite experienced. And with that experience in mind, I surmise they are familiar with canvasing guidelines. Accordingly, they are likely to ignore your request. (If they do chose to respond, I am confident they will provide valuable input.) – S. Rich ( talk) 21:18, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Keep stalking like celery, Rich. It interesting how you nervously watch my every move and even the people I contact. How much does Koch Industries pay you, anyway? Cowicide ( talk) 22:35, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
I took a moment to review the inquiry you left on my talk page. It is my opinion that, in the rare instance where a subject has generated such voluminous, disparate criticisms, the best solution is to create a standalone article that specifically addresses such details per WP:SUMMARY. With that said, and as someone who has encountered similar situations in the past, I would also advise you to try really hard to keep your cool. The worst thing you can do is allow valuable information to be omitted simply because you get emotionally involved and earn sanctions. All the best, — C M B J 01:15, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
I urge you to dial back the invective. Please read Wikipedia:Edits_not_editors#Discuss_Edits.2C_Not_Editors which you have violated multiple times. I note most of those attacked have turned the other cheek and have not complained, but that doesn't make it right.-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 16:44, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
Ok, I hope it has become apparent to you that your approach to getting more attention on this situation is not exactly the right one. This is not to say you are wrong about what is happening, just that the way you are trying to draw in more users is not acceptable. I won't belabor the point about canvassing and forum shopping as I can see both policies have already been brought to your attention. I would suggest withdrawing the myriad conversations you have been opening and using proper channels for dispute resolution if you want people to look at the content and not at you and your behavior. The dispute resolution noticeboard may be able to help you achieve that. Just some free advice to take or leave as you please. Beeblebrox ( talk) 21:05, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
FYI, the four links at the top of this page and your userpage came up with non-found or 404 errors. (Could this be the result of Chinese censorship? I haven't a clue.) – S. Rich ( talk) 03:14, 23 February 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Organic farming shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Yobol ( talk) 04:09, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
organic farming. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Jytdog ( talk) 05:46, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
i looked through the edits from yesterday again, and chose a more proximal restore point, to just before the intense edit warring began. Jytdog ( talk) 16:46, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
Cowicide, it appears it was your edits and behavior that was mostly out of line here looking over the talk page and discussions. Remember that we focus on content, not contributors, and it's really starting to look like you've fallen into the same hole many others do when trying to tackle scientific topics for the first time. Jytdog summarized our standard approach for dealing with scientific topics here quite well. [8] That is how we deal with NPOV in such articles, and it seems like you're moving too quickly to really grasp that concept. You're also getting quite a bit of a WP:BATTLEGROUND mentality from the looks of it and getting too focused on what you're thinking about other editors (remember WP:AGF) by what I've read above. When someone gets passionate on a topic, it's very easy to make the mistakes you've been making, but you really need to slow down if you want to contribute to the article. It's looking like this is all just a combination of you not liking that your edits were reverted and a misunderstanding about how we deal with scientific content. The more you pushed against that, the more other editors had to deal with you in a less and less friendly manner. Time to drop the stick and take a listen to what people are actually saying about content over at the article. If reliable sources say something, then we reflect that in content with appropriate weight. Kingofaces43 ( talk) 19:06, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
The article is now locked for three days at the restore point. I do hope you come and Talk during this time so we can establish some common ground. That's what this time is for. See you on the article Talk page! Jytdog ( talk) 20:44, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
