Malik, did you reach a resolution with "Squatch" regarding his edits to Jewish views on slavery? I did some digging around the interwebs, and in case you were wondering, his edit-spree appears to have been prompted by this online debate about slavery. It also explains his first edit.Metrospector (talk) 18:53, 5 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Metrospector. Thank you for that link. It's very illuminating. Squatch and I haven't resolved our differences, but arguing about ancient laws concerning slavery isn't one of my top priorities right now. There is no deadline. Thanks again. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:49, 6 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi. After reviewing certain other edits made by Squatch, I'd like to recommend he be reported based on those and the edit-wars on the Jewish Views on Slavery page. Nearly all of his edits appear to be rooted in an emotional bias stemming from arguments he's engaged in elsewhere online. Case in point: He has also started editing Catholic Church and slavery. I searched the online debate linked before, and lo and behold, the same page was referenced in that discussion prior to Squatch making his many edits. Further, he appears to have a somewhat hypocritical stance on how/why edits are made. Example: He undid an edit, stating "If you are going to remove sections of text with cited sources, please provide an explanation on the talk page." However just 3 edits before that he did the exact same thing himself, removing a sentence with two cited sources, and making no explanation on the talk page. It's clear that Squatch is on an emotional edit-rampage in an attempt to win some ridiculous online argument, and we simply don't need that kind of energy here on Wikipedia, which is why I feel that he should be reported, or at least warned to stop editing for the time being, since his credibility at this point is highly questionable. Let me know what you think. — Metrospector (talk) 22:50, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
