Disinformation campaign spearheaded
In accordance with WP:BLP I want more than the say-so of one analyst before leveling unattributed accusations. Bluntly stating they are facts does not suffice. Also please do not edit war, see WP:BRD for guidance. Kleuske (talk) 12:57, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I just find it so arrogant that you who didn't even bother to research the topic would automatically delete my edit. Where's the courtesy? Arrogance. signed thedoctar.
 * In the matter of biographies of living persons, Wikipedia has quite stringent rules. An opinion piece on an activist website does not cut it when accusing people of “spearheading a disinformation campaign” without attributing the accusation. If you find that arrogant, so be it. I have reported the issue to WP:BLP/N and await the input of other editors. Kleuske (talk) 13:13, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, a reference to a YouTube documentary, without time stamps is woefully inadequate, even if I were to acknowledge that as a reliable source. The intercept article does not say anything about “spearheading a disinformation campaign”. Kleuske (talk) 13:23, 5 March 2020 (UTC)


 * I added time stamps. I will edit spearheded to greatly assist. You could also do these things without *deleting important information*.thedoctar (talk) 13:59, 5 March 2020 (UTC)


 * You're focusing on the wrong words; it's not "spearheaded" that's the problem, but "disinformation campaign," which is automatically suspect on a Biography of a living person absent high quality secondary reliable sources. Try reading up on those two Wikipedia policies first so that you can better understand the issues in play here.  Regards, AzureCitizen (talk) 14:37, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

To add to article
To add to this article:
 * McCabe's birth year
 * Mention of McCabe's consulting work on behalf of the DuPont corporation in 2003, specifically entailing his spearheading of a strategy to defend the company's use of toxic C8 chemicals, purporting that such chemicals were not injurious to human health, an episode that is recounted in a recent notable documentary entitled The Devil We Know. Why isn't this information already in this article, and why does this individual's biography jump from 2001 to 2008? That isn't encyclopedic at all.
