March 17[edit]

David Paulides[edit]

Why does wikipedia writer Anachronist keep reverting Paul Palides's wikipedia page when Paul himself says it's full of errors? ( forward to 11:20 - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XPLcb0ONJ7E ) Because it looks like Anachronist has some beef against mister Paulides as he vigorisly denies any validity to anything David Paulides brings forth. And that for me is a red flag.

Please fix the David Paulides page and remove anachronist's biased unfounded conclusions.

1) This isn't really what the Reference Desk is for

2) Having briefly looked at the history of that article and talk page, it appears that certain people are either adding unsourced claims to it, or using the talk page as a general forum to complain about Wikipedia policy. Neither of those are appropriate uses, hence why Anachronist and others keep reverting edits.

3) If you (or another editor) want to add something to the article, you/they need to provide a reliable source for it. If there is a dispute about whether evidence is valid or a source is reliable, it needs to be discussed on the talk page. (And any such discussion needs to stick to the subject of improving the article and finding reliable information to do so, rather than diverting into general arguments).
