Reverts

Hello, please discuss at Talk:COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden#Dropping last 9 days in the daily death graph. Let's prevent the misleading effect. Also, with 4 edits in total before engaging in this conflict, I don't think you should go around reverting actual contributors. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:41, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

I do not think an editor like you with almost no Wikipedia contribution should be reverting other editors. --Dan Polansky (talk) 16:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

You said 'It cannot be "obviously misleading" if it's official data [...]': Do you really think so? Why cannot official data be misleading? --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:05, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

It could be misleading, you are right there. But my main point is that it was a continuation of a pre-existing data set. If it's the data source itself then the entire data source should be out. If you're using partial data from an official source, then the rest of the data that extends the set should be treated the same. I get where you're coming from that the way the delay around numbers will skew the chart, but I would say either call attention to that, (similar to how stock tickers say "data delayed 15 minutes") or just allow the chart to correct itself as the new numbers come out. You don't actually know that the slope will change.--Balance66 (talk) 17:22, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

You do know the slope will change, and the revision history of the Sweden article bears testimony to that: it shows how at any revision there is a steeply falling final slope that is continuously being pushed to the right. It's in the revision history, right there. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:31, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

"allow the chart to correct itself as the new numbers come out": The chart never corrects itself: upon an update, the previously wrongly low columns get corrected upwards but at the same time new incorrectly low columns get added to the right. --Dan Polansky (talk) 17:37, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Thomas Woods, you may be blocked from editing. ——Serial ^# 14:03, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm not the one being non-neutral, the person insisting on ascribing pejorative attributes like "white supremacy", "anti-semitism" and "Nazi" to the page when the person involved had nothing to do with any of it, is non-neutral and biased. I'm ready to report the editor who keeps re-adding it, so let's at least move it to the talk section of the page. where people can try to make the case (with a straight face) that mudslinging those terms into this page is neutral and unbiased.
