Talk:Essjay controversy/sandbox
I created this page as a specific temp sandbox for two precise questions (where to put one link, and where to possibly put an image). That spiraled, and one contentious user on Essjay's article days (multiple complaints to WP:ANI, etc.) began to POVize it. his right, I don't own the page. But... we tagged it to request a deletion as the user, User:QuackGuru, has also turned his own user page into a POV sandbox fork of the same article. I don't think we need two so want to delete the one I started as it's original purpose is already shot as well. This is the relevant ANI post. Given how contentious the general issue is, and how some users have heavily disrupted the community already by IARing everyone into a frothing mess (deleting the RFCs, other mayhem, early closings, etc.) I want to try to keep things calm but also don't think we need two POV forks right now like this. Thank you. - Denny 06:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
