Disambiguation link notification for March 10[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Islam in Australia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Telegraph. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

From your editing pattern it is obvious that you are the latest incarnation of the editor I blocked in 2015 for BLP violations as Rofseb (talk · contribs). Other accounts you have operated are BruceSpider (talk · contribs), Karpes (talk · contribs) Rofseb (talk · contribs). A key common thread linking these accounts is high volume additions of material almost always presenting a negative portrayal of Australian Muslims. Another key thread is the consistent violations of WP:BLP which are driven by this agenda. This has continued into this account, and appears to have escalated in both frequency and seriousness over recent months. I note in particular the following edits:

Clearly over the top editing relating to Yassmin Abdel-Magied, including:
- Trying to add a single remark she made on a TV show to the high-level feminism in Australia article with conservative politician and ex-Prime Minister Tony Abbott's views on this [1] as well as Abbott's article [2]
- And then adding similar material to the feminism in Australia article several weeks after it was removed [3] despite another editor having stated that it's inappropriate for a 'big picture' article [4]
- Engaged in WP:OR and personal attacks concerning her remark, labelling it "dubious" in both a hidden note in the article [5] and on the article's talk page (where you also claimed she had made a "dubious translation") [6]. On this basis of this OR you then added a link to what you believed she was talking about to the article [7]
- Added news stories about Senator Jacqui Lambie, who is well known for being critical of Islam, to the article on Abdel-Magied despite them not actually being used to reference any material on the grounds (given in the edit summary) that "Her [Jacqui Lambie's] pejorative statement (now deleted) does provide a significant insight into the thinking of Abdel-Magied" [8]
- Adding negative BLP referenced to an op-ed with the edit summary This wiki page currently does not reflect the considerable community concern about Abdel-Magied's activities. The page is structured well, beyond the BLP "regard for the subject's privacy"
- Given the context, I suspect that you were also the person adding extreme negative BLP to this article and my talk page concerning this person (including copying and pasting abusive Facebook posts) as 14.200.91.233 (talk · contribs) - I note in particular this post where the account claimed I had previously been involved with their edits.
Repeated negative BLP material claiming that various views of and comments of Keysar Trad are "controversial":
- A claim that Keysar Trad's remarks on the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects were somehow controversial [9] - the source did not state that these remarks were controversial in any way, and actually described Mr Trad's remarks as being part of the condemnation by "mainstream Islamic groups" of a decision by a regulatory agency to allow this group's radio station to remain on the air
- A statement that Mr Trad's desire to have a second wife is 'controversial' [10]. The source [11] does include someone criticising him for wanting to do so, but this hardly seems a noteworthy controversy.
Addition of negative material concerning a living person referenced to what's clearly marked as an opinion article [12]
Addition of negative BLP material cited to a self-published source [13]

As noted above, I have been involved with addressing problems with your edits under this and the probable previous accounts. As such, this block is made under the provision for "involved" admins to respond to BLP issues as specified at WP:BLPREMOVE Nick-D (talk) 22:57, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
