Negar Mortazavi
I didn't make any presumptions at all about who's vandalizing and who isn't -- as I've already clarified on the article's talk page, my only concern was that the editwarring has to stop immediately. Who's right and who's wrong is for people with far more knowledge about Negar Mortazavi than I have to determine; my only concern is shutting down the reversion war. It isn't standard for administrators to restore disputed material into the article in the interim, either -- it's standard for disputed material to be kept out of the article pending discussion on its appropriateness. But regardless, my only concern was stopping the edit war so that the admissibility or inadmissibility of the disputed material could be discussed rather than editwarred over.

 * Hi. Thanks. But the current version is a vandalised version of the article. Please check the article's history and find the healthy version. This is what I do in fawiki (as an admin) when I change the level of an article protection. The user has not even responses to the talk page requests and just directly finds an admin (you) and without any evidence claims I am part of contracted effort to vandalise a wikipedia article?! I call this admin shopping. This user most likely has conflict of interest or has been paid to edit this article as this article is the only one they are working on it since creating their account. Thanks. GharouniTalk  15:30, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
 * @Bearcat Sorry I forgot to call you. GharouniTalk 15:30, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
