Your comment 'restoring legitimate content to the time series database page that he has repeatedly removed without valid reason' is in stark contrast with 'Please join the discussions on the talkpage ánd read previous discussions on other pages. This edit war is not getting you anywhere but being blocked and/or the page being protected.', a message that you just removed earlier today. This is at length discussed on Talk:Time series database and in an earlier discussion on the external links noticeboard. This material does not satisfy our inclusion standards - it has been there for a long time without references, and all it now gets are refs to blog-posts and primary sources (not exactly reliable sources). (and before that, some of them were constantly spammed in with external links to the homepage of the subject - typical WP:SPAMHOLE material). So, contentious material stays out until consensus for inclusion has been obtained, see also WP:BRD. That consensus is not obtained by reverting material back in, that is achieved on the talkpage, discussions which have been held, discussions which can be restarted, and that is where I invited you to discuss it first. --Dirk Beetstra T C 19:38, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Hey User:Beetstra, don't you think it's a bit hypocritical to block someone for participating in an edit war, when you were the other participant? Conflict of interest much? Camel gopher (talk) 19:44, 11 October 2017 (UTC)


 * No, removing unsourced content is not 'being involved' .. including unsourced content, or including content against without/against consensus is called tendentious editing. --Dirk Beetstra T  C 19:53, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
