User talk:TheCatholicPimpernel


 * Looking at your edit history, I see absolutely zero edits to the article's talk page - or, indeed, to any talk page at all other than this one. When multiple editors removed your edit, your first step should have been to discuss it. Our Biographies of Living Persons policy is one of the strictest, and your edit did appear to violate it (Youtube is not a reliable source). You may be right about the factual claim, you might not - but that doesn't matter if don't discuss it and explain your reasons for posting the material. In many cases, someone might suggest a way to include all or part of the facts without violating BLP. That should have been your first step. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 19:13, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank-you for your reply. Boinkus and I are family. He did edit the Wikipedia article in question, originally. He told me he did not want to get into what he called an "editing war", had other Wikipedia interests as well, and decided to leave a comment in the Talk box to try to get feedback. He apparently did not get a reply; and not knowing what else to do, dropped the subject. I admit I took it up - and his ideas - and tried to keep things focused on the controversial interview - though I linked to youtube, it was to the official Salt and Light youtube channel pertaining to the interview. So, I believe that part may have been correctly done. I readily concur that out of ignorance I did not try to engage anyone in the Talk Box, which after reading up much more, I understand is an essential part of correct protocol (as I have now learned in hindsight) and would have avoided all this trouble. I regret this. I do hope that Wikipedia gives second chances. As mentioned in my first entrance for unblocking, if the administrator unblocks and ask me to refrain from this subject, and to follow carefully guidelines in the future, I will definitely do so. I only ask for a second chance. Respectfully and thank-you — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheCatholicPimpernel (talk • contribs)
