WP - blah

The less time I spend here the happier I am. Good luck to you all and get out as soon as you can. Go dancing. Or play music. Meditate. Agitate. SmithBlue (talk) 05:18, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

On BLP violations

If you can show verifiable content from RS that Person B, whether pro or anti vaccination, is an ice addict psychopath who owns a pedophile brothel and is a ISIS supporter, then go ahead and write the article. Just ask and I'll support you.

If you have strong feelings around the subject and you have to misrepresent sources, use non-RS ranting blogs and OR to create an attack piece that matches your view of the subject then either you are supported by WP community standards or you not.

I do wish that it was obvious to everyone whether you are supported by WP community standards. So far you have been supported by WP community inaction. Especially the on-going inaction of administrators. SmithBlue (talk) 02:17, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Notice

This message contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding pseudoscience and fringe science, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Your edits, few as they are, show a worrying tendency towards promoting fringe views, notably the refuted OPV-AIDS hypothesis. You need to be aware that this is not acceptable on Wikipedia. Guy (Help!) 10:25, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

As stated already my edits do not show any such tendency. There is one single recent edit that shows my attempts to have OPV-AIDS presented inline with WP community standards. If you are convinced otherwise please initiate whatever mechanism is in place to prevent, what you mistypify as, me disrupting WP. SmithBlue (talk) 22:51, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

Having stumbled across your edit at OPV-AIDS I can now understand the source of your error. I do not present Dildine's article "http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/what-really-caused-aids-epidemic", as a RS. Rather I present it as a catalyse for checking of WP:OPV-AIDS for inadvertent errors. I apologise if my intention was not clear. I have edited to make my intentions explicit on WP:OPV-AIDS/Talk. (Though the discovery of "Tools for Critical Thinking about Biology" and the variances between it and current WP:OPV-AIDS probably should be dealt with first.) Please be clearer about exactly which edits concern you in future comms - vague claims of "tendency" are not helpful. SmithBlue (talk) 00:20, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

• - Note to uninvolved admins -

Below is the single (OPV related) post that User:JzG interpreted as "a worrying tendency towards promoting fringe views" and then posted the Arb Con warning template here and disrupted an article talk page section here[1]. SmithBlue (talk) 00:05, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
