user:Gaeltober was an editor who had a political agenda. The editor worked on SNP and Labour and Northern Ireland MPs articles to subtly change their neutrality and violating NPOV. This was noticed by several people, who reverted and so the editor started to edit war on e.g. Martina Anderson, and was blocked for that: User talk:Gaeltober. Later the editor was reverted on edits to Nicola Sturgeon, again apply a NPOV process that dulled the article, by specifically choosing reference that weren't from the original source. and and. I entered the picture as the editor had altered, Scottish Greens taking an NPOV approach, linking climate change to scottish independence, where there is no causal link. The editor was subsequently blocked for edit warring for 31 hours. The second editor User:Fionn12 arrived and started editing Nicola Sturgeon again, again taking an NPOV to dull the article, by linking lack of PPE to Sturgeon. and started edit warring. Both editors who mispresented references, applied NPOV to several dozen articles to dull them down, by misrepresenting refs. Another editor user:Greenfinchchick is now following the same approach. Both Gaeltober and Fionn both edited the Dunoon article. Fionn edit warred on the war, before being blocked for misuse of multiple accounts. . Editor User:Greenfinchchick is editing on Dunoon with the same pattern. Both Government and politics and Fionn are working in the same areas. I think they are the same people.  scope_creep Talk  17:13, 6 July 2021 (UTC)

 * I am not a sock puppet. Once I have been cleared, I hope my original issue will be addressed. I expect/demand a full public apology be placed on my talk page. Greenfinchchick (talk) 17:22, 6 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I am only guilty of editing the Dunoon article! My edit was factual and in NO way political!  I feel the complainer is using NPOV to mask/camouflage their control over political related articles/edits.Greenfinchchick (talk) 17:45, 6 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I have twice joined Wikipedia and both times have been made unwelcome! I live on Cowal so could see information that was wrong/outdated, so joined to correct both times. I would just leave the history alone, I did, I left. I notice no apology as of yet? My original edit that was reverted has not been restored as they was no problem with it, it was not "political! I hope the editor that is disguising his reverts/edits with NPOF will be sanctioned as none of this would have occurred. Especially as there was NO justification for his actions!Greenfinchchick (talk) 08:32, 7 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Looks like Wikipedia has not changed, the harassment continues! See my talk page.  "As well as Political reverts disguised as Neutral Point Of View" on the Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.  My original edit on Dunoon has yet to be fully restored.  I say yet again it was not political in any way.  Looks like I will be leaving again.  Wikipedia has a reputation in my circle of friends, that Wikipedia is not worth the trouble simple edits entail.  Greenfinchchick (talk) 10:19, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Ah, cheers, fixed now - that SPI helper script thingy sometimes plays up (I think, or I click the wrong button!). Hope you're doing well! - TheresNoTime 😺 22:00, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You're probably like me,, not used to the new version. It'll get better, just takes a little practice.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:04, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
