User:Dtalbott/bio notes


Seems to be, at least in part, a violation of WP:ATTACKPAGE. jps (talk) 11:36, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * weak keep seems to be more criticism than attack, but it is related to Wikipedia pages and so has some reason for keeping. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:05, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you think calling me a "modern-day Inquisitor", my actions "foolhardy" and "motivated by ignorance and ideological zeal" is "more criticism than attack"? jps (talk) 14:46, 27 April 2015 (UTC)"Certain actions by ScienceApologist need to be called out. Use of the terms 'pseudoscience' and 'pseudoarchaeology' in officially categorizing the work underway is a foolhardy insult to all who are now devoting their lives to this investigation. When a modern-day Inquisitor, motivated by ignorance and ideological zeal, seeks to discredit the work of others by such offensive language it is an additional offense when his 'colleagues' indulge his pretentiousness and do nothing. If uninformed editors can shoot first and ask questions later in this fashion, why would anyone trust Wikipedia's treatment of work challenging ANY sacred creed of institutionalized science? How easily we forget that such challenges are the essential content of scientific progress."


 * strong keep There are no attacks (per nomination) on this page. When one considers the history between User:jps (nominator) and User:Dtalbott one can only conclude that this Mfd is itself an attack. To assume good faith would be to ignore both the on-site and the off-site interactions in the past between jps, Dtalbott and myself.  For this page to be deleted would be to (again) have Wikipedia become the tool of zealots rather than the encyclopedia it aspires to become. As jps has for many years taken an adversarial stance toward Dtalbott and anything Dtalbott is associated with, it would be laughable, if it weren't so serious a violation of CoI, for this MfD to be successful.  This page is in userspace and it violates nothing. Davesmith au (talk) 23:00, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
