RolandR[edit]

Yesterday I made a comment about RolandR removing the reason on the fall of Balladur's popularity which I restored and I have been brought to task stating that it was a personal attack. It was not a personal attack but a personal criticism on RolandR's failure to find an article to support the said reason on the fall of Balladur's popularity and one should able to detect such distinctions. Information should only be removed if it is known for sure that the information is not true. This wasn't the case here therefore its removal was not justified. Therefore the criticism was justified.

Do not contact me to address this situation whatever one has to say, say it here because I would construe such contact as harassment. 220.239.167.151 (talk) 06:53, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people states explicitly "Remove immediately any contentious material about a living person that is unsourced or poorly sourced". The policy on personal attacks states "Insulting or disparaging an editor is a personal attack regardless of the manner in which it is done". In addition, the policy on edit summaries states "Avoid using edit summaries to carry on debates or negotiation over the content or to express opinions of the other users involved". To write in an edit summary that "RolandR does not know what he is talking about" is insulting and disparaging, and therefore a personal attack, and my removal of unsourced contentious material about Edouard Balladur, a living person, was not only acceptable, but mandatory under Wikipedia policies. The material should never have been included without a source, and I am not entirely happy about the source now added: if this was indeed notable, there should be a more prominent source than a Google cached article from the New Straits Times.
