Your edit at Imperial Klans of America
Just a friendly notifier that there has been a challenge and change to your edit to the above article on the article's talk page. The argument made against your edit stands as this:

Ron Edwards and his girlfriend were arrested for possession of hydrocodone and methamphetamine. At the same time, another man was arrested for possession of marijuana. That information, however accurate and intentionally defamatory (sourced from the Anti-Defamation League, no less), is not relevant to this article. If you want the information to be included in Wikipedia, create an article about Ron Edwards (Imperial Wizard of the IKA). The actions of an individual do not put a spotlight on the group as a whole, and nothing in the sourced material indicates that the arrest or drugs were tied to the Klan, itself. It only mentions Edwards' ties to the Klan. Therefore, the information is irrelevant to this article. Whether it were a stub or not, you wouldn't put a line about Watergate in United States Government, unless you were attempting to create a bias. Nor is there a reference to Marion Barry's 1990 arrest in the article about Washington, D.C.. I'm removing the reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.51.31.120 (talk) 12:07, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

As a matter of fact, the sourced material doesn't say ANYTHING about the arrest other than that it happened. The rest is anti-Klan literature. I don't know that such a biased source is even acceptable per WP:IRS. It is information about a living person, so a greater degree of scrutiny is required, and, again, it is blatantly biased information coming from an opponent of the organization. 174.51.31.120 (talk) 12:29, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
