Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Amoruso

I wrongly posted the following at Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment, and informed Amoruso that I was using him as an example. The reaction was so extreme, that I thought others should see it.

Is Integrity a key attribute in an editor?
We all make mistakes (some of us make a lot of them). I've done edits that were badly thought out, didn't match the text of my references and so forth. However, I try to edit with integrity. I will never enter something into WP I know to be false, and, if I ever battle to keep a "fact" out of the text, it'll be for some good reason (it's trivial, nasty, BLP etc). But does integrity actually matter in an editor?

Think about it - have a look at this case - User:Amoruso is attempting to conceal who sank the ship Patria on November 25, 1940. It was sunk by the Haganah, everyone knows that (it's even already in the body of the article!). Yet it was repeatedly reverted from the lead.

I don't know if this kind of behaviour is even against policy, let alone whether it should be a matter for censure. What does everyone else think? PalestineRemembered 13:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
