Need Some Help
I am having a problem with 166.67.66.5 (talk · contribs) readding large swaths of content that is completely unsourced and OR to WKLR, WHTI (FM) and WKHK. I have tried to explain it on the user's talk page, but it doesn't seem the user is listening. I am at 3RR, so I am requesting your help. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:27, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- The user has stated he will engage in edit warring. Going to need some help. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:34, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- You are removing material from three, now four articles without any discussion. You are not the end all be all here. I simply advised that I will continue to add it back until you agree to discuss it and allow the information to be sourced. 166.67.66.5 (talk) 20:37, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- That's the definition of edit warring. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:38, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- The fact is you allowed "unsourced" material to stay in the article for WURV for over a year and even contributed to the article after deleting material from the other three. Let's be consistant here. 166.67.66.5 (talk) 20:40, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- OK, well you're both at three reverts now, so let's everyone step away from the edge of the cliff. Neutralhomer, I understand your concerns — these are pretty massive chunks of text to be coming in without any referencing whatsoever. However, from a quick scan, it looks like there are only a few spots where it gets editorial. It could end up being a valuable fleshing out of these articles.
- Given that, 166.67.66.5, you reference above the notion of allowing the information to be sourced. Are you in position to provide sources, and to add the appropriate referencing to these articles? If so, that would be fantastic, and that should be job one. If not, then even if the text doesn't get removed, it'll likely end up tagged. Mlaffs (talk) 21:02, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- I am fine with it being tagged, but I am pretty sure it was in one case (maybe two). I just deleted the chunk that seemed to be OR. Perhaps Dravecky can work his magic (which seems to be in high demand these days) on these four pages. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 21:04, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- I've done some structural and content clean up, scraped out much of the rumor and speculation, and added the barest of sourcing. I've also left a cautionary note on the IP's talk page. That IP is registered to the Virginia Information Technologies Agency so just maybe it's a state employee repeatedly vandalizing the pages of Barney Frank ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], etc.) and Tim Kaine ([7], [8], [9], [10]), too. - Dravecky (talk) 14:36, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
