Generally; is Communicat editing disruptively and/or unable to get along with the wider community, and separately, are elements of the community unreasonably excluding alternate non-western viewpoints or sources from World War II related history articles.
Desired outcome
It is desired that the community review the two major issues (behavior, and content) and that a community consensus be developed for ways to proceed forwards along those two
Description
Communicat is active in Wikipedia generally in two major and one minor area related to modern history - World War II, and the History of South Africa, with a lesser focus on Cold War studies. Broadly speaking, Communicat has introduced a more eastern-oriented point of view and sources.
The current dispute is focused on behavioral and content issues related to Aftermath of World War II.
There are two general competing and not necessarily exclusive claims made.
- That Communicat continues to insert unsourced or poorly sourced materials, promote fringe points of view, and disrupt the article; advanced by Nick-D ( talk · contribs) and Edward321 ( talk · contribs)
- That there exists a cabal of editors working to keep the standard western history viewpoint exclusively in the articles to the exclusion of other viewpoints; advanced by Communicat ( talk · contribs) - or alternately, that personal conflicts with Communicat are causing this alternate viewpoint to be needlessly excluded or not fairly considered; advanced by Petri Krohn ( talk · contribs)
My apologies if the above do not adequately summarize or are somewhat biased; the editors can of course expound further below.
There has been considerable prior dispute history:
- Talk:World War II/Archive 41#Communicat and fringe-POV pushing
- Talk:Strategic bombing during World War II#Industrial capacity and production
- Talk:Strategic bombing during World War II#Link to www.truth-hertz.net
- Talk:World War II/Archive 39#WW2 origins of Cold War
- Talk:World War II/Archive 39#Link to www.truth-hertz.net
- Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 45#User: Communicat
- Talk:History of South Africa#new sub-section: extra-parliamentary activities
And Communicat has been warned or sanctioned for various activity (disclaimer: both the warning and blocks by myself):
Evidence of disputed behavior
(Provide diffs. Links to entire articles aren't helpful unless the editor created the entire article. Edit histories also aren't helpful as they change as new edits are performed.)
Applicable policies and guidelines
{list the policies and guidelines that apply to the disputed conduct}
Evidence of trying to resolve the dispute
(Provide diffs. Links to entire articles aren't helpful unless the editor created the entire article. Edit histories also aren't helpful as they change as new edits are performed.)
Evidence of failing to resolve the dispute
(Provide diffs to demonstrate that the disputed behavior continued after trying to resolve the dispute.)
