RfC: Background information and involvement in Big Dig[edit]
This article is being repeatedly edited by a single user to cast Matthew Amorello in a more favorable light. This editor eliminates existing citations and does not include new, relevant ones for their own additions/edits.
That account seems to be a single-purpose account, and, as you say, doesn't offer citations for its edits.IceCreamEmpress (talk) 01:46, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Came here via the WP:RFC request. In my opinion, this was a WP:BLP nightmare. The stuff about his being accused for the Big Dig shortcomings and asked to resign because of the death of the worker really really needs to be cited. Also, the stuff about his divorce issues is not notable enough in the grand scheme of this man's life for this article, either. We don't need to list every shortcoming about him, even if the news media does, we should strive to be neutral and factual in tone about the subject. I've made some changes to the article with regard to these items, and tagged the article for the citation needs. Raven1977Talk to meMy edits 21:57, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
his resignation and the tunnel collapse are the most notable things about him, along with mitt romney trying to remove him from office. there are many sources that discuss this. untwirl(talk) 04:27, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like the same editor is at it again...revising the article to cast Matthew Amorello in a more favorable light. Alpha Centauri 2021's revisions remove cited, backed-up material. I also suspect the unknown editor from IP address 66.30.70.173 may also be Alpha Centauri 2021 as well, based on the revisions made. Furthermore, Centauri tries to disguise his changes by labeling them as "minor edits" when they clearly are not 10:32, 01 April 2009 (UTC)
The recent edits by ChiefSohcahtoa are problematic for two reasons: (1) he/she gives the edits a "minor edit" tag although major edits are being made to the content of the article and (2) the "source" he/she cites is a marketing brochure that seems to have been written and edited under the eye of Matthew Amorello himself and thus can be assumed that only positive and definitely biased information would appear. This is not to say that Amorello did or did not achieve these milestones but that in the grand scheme of things, they are not relevant to why Amorello was such a newsworthy figure. I suspect that ChiefSohcahtoa, based on his editing and new user status, might very well be Alpha Centauri. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cornerstone79 (talk • contribs) 17:57, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
