[edit] On conflicts of interest and personal attacks

All right, kids, it's time to stop fighting. I've archived the odd discussion going on here to Talk:The Berry/Archive, but before you resume again, let me make a few things understood:

  • I was the editor who added the conflict of interest tag to this article, as it was clear that someone close to the paper had written it.
  • I am not a Cambridge student. I have no idea who Mike Morley is. And I don't harbor any particular feelings toward either — so the tag was not some sort of personal attack.
  • This article was originally marked for speedy deletion. As the reviewing administrator, I declined to delete the page, as it may be notable enough for an article. However, I believe that has yet to be determined. See Wikipedia:Verifiability for details on what sources are appropriate for citation.
  • The tag is not to be removed without a general consensus here first.

Please read the information linked through the COI tag (and above) to understand what the policy is. To summarize, editors with a conflict of interest (i.e. anybody related to The Berry) are strongly discouraged from editing this article. Specifically, those editors should "1. avoid editing articles related to your organization or its competitors; 2. avoid breaching relevant policies on autobiographies and neutrality; 3. avoid participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; 4. avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your corporation in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam)."

Please keep conversations here relevant and to the point. If there's some sort of personal issue between Cambridge students that needs resolving, figure it out amongst yourselves elsewhere — this is not the place. Tijuana Brass 23:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On past Editors section

Both Editors have been notable enough to be specifically mentioned in Varsity articles in connection with their position in the newspaper. Furthermore, it seems normal and consistent with wikipedia to add names of former leaders of such societies: Cambridge Union, CUCA and Varsity. Yet again, the editor's history, albeit brief, suggests that he might be a fellow student with an ax to grind.
