You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Bob Avakian. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 01:57, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Please stop

 * At this point your posts on the Bob Avakian talk page and editor user pages are becoming disruptive. Please stop. Your objections have been answered multiple times on the article talk page. Please read WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT and the other guidelines I've cited on the talk page especially WP:PRIMARY, WP:NPOV, WP:UNDUE and WP:SOAPBOX and consider finding some more productive activities on WP. Thank you-- — Keithbob • Talk  • 14:28, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

EnRealidad: I'm going to try to explain a bit. From your posts on the article talk page and at User talk:Drmies, I appreciate that you put in a lot of work to make a really good biography, but I don't think you realize that your methodology of investigating and weighing the background/biases of sources is good investigative journalism and political biography, but not appropriate for a (general) encyclopedia. The way we minimize bias is related to our concept of notability and comes from our role as encyclopedists: we weight things by how many reliable sources have said them, and don't investigate the sources themselves politically. Hence coverage in an Associated Press report counts much the same as a review of his book by a writer for the San Francisco Chronicle. We then summarize the facts. For political nuances, coverups, etc., we let the reader go deeper by reading the sources we cite and going from there (and perhaps making creative use of the links we provide to other Wikipedia articles), plus there are the External links and Further reading sections of articles. More than that would entail evaluative judgements that we try to stay clear of both because we can't be all things to all people, and because individual editors' biases would inevitably color such analyses. It follows from that that we only include what independent sources have seen as important enough to mention. So if he's been said in print by unaffiliated reliable sources to be important for his speeches and political articles, then we can have coverage in the article of them. Otherwise, we just point the reader to where he can seek out that material. Avakian is not primarily famous as a speechmaker or a writer so far as I know; do you have an independent source saying otherwise? If so, cite it on the article talk page. Does that make things any clearer? Yngvadottir (talk) 15:31, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
