[edit] Statement of the dispute

User chronically makes article additions from user's POV, and edits lacking context or relevance. User rarely uses relevant edit summaries.

[edit] Description

Grazon/132.241.245.49 has been adding POV and generally poor edits to the wikipedia since his second edit, 04:35, 9 September 2004. Most commonly, Grazon attacks individuals and organizations by adding material that puts them in a bad light. He seems to particularly attack American political conservatives and Christian fundamentalists. His POV additions are most often not very important to the article, and seem to be added only to promote his point of view.

A number of Grazon's neutral edits also lack context or are otherwise poor.

In spite of multiple requests on both talk pages to use a neutral point of view, his edits have not improved, other than to use citations.

This is a summary written by the user whose conduct is disputed, or by other users who think that the dispute is unjustified and that the above summary is biased or incomplete. Users signing other sections ("Statement of the dispute" and "Outside Views") should not edit the "Response" section.

I find this "dispute" to be pointless since much of the "Evidence" is faulty.

[edit] Outside view

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.

{Add summary here, but you must use the endorsement section below to sign. Users who edit or endorse this summary should not edit the other summaries.}

I've run into a few of Grazon's edits and found them to be largely meritless. He likes to go through and remove qualifiers to cast statements in a more definitive and sinister light. For example, he'll change, "Mr. Smith's lawyer stated that he believes Mr. Adams was behind the cover-up" to read "Mr. Smith's lawyer stated that Mr. Adams was behind the cover-up." This user appears to be unflaggingly dedicated to his own POV on things, and that's fine, but inappropriate for Wikipedia. His defense of his actions is unconvincing.
