Hal Huggins
Hal Huggins and Talk:Hal Huggins need serious help for WP:BLP, WP:COI and WP:NPOV. I hope several experienced Wikipedians will help. Jehochman Talk 15:36, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Looks clean now, have watchlisted.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 16:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- It's not clean, it's slanted to present his claims as true and mainstream - it's makes a POV claim (using his own work) that he was struck off for his political views - he was struck off for being a fraud (and I will be adding two sources to that effect shortly). --Cameron Scott (talk) 16:10, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Make sure the sources are solid and unbiased.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 16:12, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

- The court findings where the judge states it is evident that nothing will stop Respondent from practicing the treatments he has developed short of revocation of his license to practice dentistry. Such disciplinary action is also justified by the multiple violations of the Dental Practice Act proven in this matter, especially those involving grossly negligent care. should cover it, no? if I can work out how to cite it a legal case... I should point out that I've got no interest in this beyond seeing it reported here and then doing some research in the last 30 minutes... --Cameron Scott (talk) 16:26, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Robert Mugabe
Robert Mugabe (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - An IP keeps adding that Robert Mugabe is "..the autocratic President of Zimbabwe". He/She adds no reference to such a claim instead asking us to discuss _before_ reverting the changes.
I have tried to revert twice but he keeps reverting it back under various IPs.
I have tried to explain in the summary that he does not fit the definition of an Autocratic leader.
I agree that the elections in Zimbabwe are/were flawed, but the fact still remain that he was elected.
He is not a 'single self-appointed ruler' as explained on the Autocracy page.
As it is an IP it is a bit hard to have any meaningful discussion with that particular user. FFMG (talk) 16:05, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, well I'm certainly not about to defend the democratic credentials of this mass-murdering thug. This isn't a WP:BLP issue it is just an IP inserting POV (albeit a point of view most sane people hold). Warn the IP, and then treat it as standard vandalism.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 16:08, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
- That's the irony of it all, we all agree that he is the worse kind of so called leader. But 'Autocratic' is not correct, even in his case.
- I'll revert again and warn the user. FFMG (talk) 16:26, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Reporting this to BLPN and COIN.
An article about a state senator is the subject of an extended edit war by two IPs. One is pushing a very favorible POV version of the page, another is pushing a fairly negative POV version. From the edit comments it appears quite possible that the IPs are the subject himself, and one of his political opponents. Short semi protections have done little to stop the warring, so I've semi-ed it for a month this time. But I suspect that'll not be much of a long term solution either. Could really use additional eyes on this, and maybe someone skilled in coming up with some sort of NPOV middle ground version. - TexasAndroid (talk) 16:12, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
