[edit] Edits to Shakespearean authorship question

Thanks for letting me know. I have contacted Smatprt and am hoping for a swift and happy resolution to this dispute! Soo 19:41, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't recognize that as an allegation of sockpuppetry; I was at work and I just skimmed it, thinking you were just accusing both of having a heavy bias. My mistake AdamBiswanger1 02:32, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I don't know how much time you have on your hands but just type Smatprt into google and read through a few pages. The number of times that he has been blocked or complained about on forums for altering material without consensus is amazing! (Felsommerfeld 02:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC))

Sigh. Might I suggest that you start with a blank slate and create new heading called "consensus" or something, in which people can formally discuss (support or oppose) which exact changes they would like included in the article? I would also suggest a request for comment. AdamBiswanger1 03:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smatprt

It was claimed by Tom Reedy that BenJonson was Roger Stritmatter, a conclusion at which I had also arrived. He's certainly not the same person as Smatprt, but Wikipedia also has a policy against what are called, rather unpleasantly, "meatpuppets": editors who, though separate people, act as part of a "group mind". I don't think S and BJ are so close in editing actions that they quite count as meatpuppets, however I do think that Smatprt's editing has been unrelentingly tendentious and riddled with double-standards.

By the way, if you are wondering what my comments to user:Hornplease about Witzel and Itihas Patrika have to do with Shakespeare, they derived from the fact that Hornnplease and I often edit pages related to Hindu nationalism and Indian hstory. Itihas Patrika is an extremist Hindu-Nationalist journal which claims that the Taj Mahal was built by a Hindu ruler, not a Muslim one. Paul B 11:51, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your note on the Admin page. I doubt it will have much of an effect because Smatprt tends to work by unrelenting attrition rather than wild reversions. However, good luck! Paul B 12:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

You can read about the procedure for banning here. However I would advise you against it because the procedure is generally long, and in this case highly unlikely to be unsuccessful - while I understand you find Smatprt frustrating to work with, I don't think he has committed any more major transgressions that 3RR violations. It's only likely to stir up more bad feeling. Soo 14:43, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stratfordianism

Hi. I would request that you achieve consensus for removing referenced/cited material from articles before doing so. NPOV is created by including all good sourced material, no matter what ones opinion of the material. LessHeard vanU 16:11, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I have commented generally at the article talkpage. My comments here were in relation to removal of cited references as complained of at WP:AN (a different section than those relating to 'User:Smatprt violations'). Removal of referenced material is not condoned by Wikipedia, but I felt that a gentle request to desist was preferable to the requested warning or blocking at this time.
