Policies regarding reliable sourcing
Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 23:17, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Corey Johnson (politician).

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 17:06, 19 June 2019 (UTC) Here is a link to an article sourcing the content I was blocked for posting https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2019/06/13/reporters-notebook-coreys-a-master-planner-and-other-city-hall-takeaways/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueapt (talk • contribs)
 * That link is to a blog, which is not a reliable source. You created an account to push a specific POV on a biography article. If you had read the messages and associated links provided to you on this page instead of simply restoring the disputed content you would have understood how your edits violate multiple Wikipedia guidelines.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 20:48, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

I disagree that this is not a legitimate news source--it is reporting on legal matters affecting the community Cory represents. In fact, you added another response from the same story, posted on another site, after I posted my information, which I took from this article. It was not a personal attack on him or his, it was a documentation of an actual political discussion he is having in his local community, which has been documented on a variety of sites. I will let this go if you unblock my IP and I will move on.

Here are two additional articles. Again, I will not edit his page anymore, I just want to show you that this is part of the current conversation about his policies.

 * This is all localized coverage. If you would like to include controversial material to biography articles the sources must be of the utmost reliability, the material needs to be given due weight in relation to the remainder of the content in the article, and it must be worded in a neutral fashion. Edit warring to restore potentially libelous or defamatory allegations such as "he sold out his community in hopes of personal political advancement by cutting a deceptive deal with Transportation Alternatives" violates multiple policies.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:39, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

I understand your point and pledge not to post material that could be considered highly localized or libelous or defamatory. Can you please set a date for my edit access to be restored? I feel like I have been responsive to your concerns and understand what you are saying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueapt (talk • contribs)

Thank you
