[edit] Statement of the dispute

User:Teemu Ruskeepää Has been continually attempting to restructure the talk page of Fidel Castro, and is now adding a lengthy poll to the foot of each talk discussion, despite many comments that he does not have consensus. Furthermore, responses to the many other users who object to this have become increasingly uncivil and accusatory. Users would like to be able to use the talk page chronologically, request that Teemu accept consensus and the results of the poll, that he refrain from any further restructuring, and that he refrain from any futher attempts to promote his restructuring plans on the page.

[edit] Evidence of disputed behavior

  1. Talk:Fidel Castro
  2. Sample of one of the many polls Teemu has placed on the page [1]

[edit] Outside view of SB_Johnny

This is a summary written by users not directly involved with the dispute but who would like to add an outside view of the dispute. Users editing other sections ("Statement of the dispute" and "Response") should not edit the "Outside Views" section, except to endorse an outside view.

User:Teemu Ruskeepää's actions on the talk page are perplexing to say the least. He seems to have trouble with WP:OWN on the talk:Fidel Castro page, and with WP:CIVIL both there and on user talks, including his own. This aggressive attitude dates back to the earliest versions of his own talk page. Some of his earlier edits appear to be vandalism as well [20] (see talk page). If nothing else, he has exhausted the community's patience, and should be blocked if he continues in this vein. 11:00, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

  2. Agreed. He has a minor history of deleting information which he does not find favorable, but this disruption alone justifies some sort of sanction. --TJive 11:08, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
  3. I agree with the summary, although the evidence [21] for suspected vandalism isn't that convincing. In that light it's better to refer to the mass deletions without in the Castro article ([22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], etc. I'm not sure if controversial blankings without discussion like these are considered vandalism, but they're certainly against Wikipedia policy. menscht 11:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
