Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Zer0faults/Proposed decision

Per the point of me removing well sourced information:

WP:OR states: "Editors often make the mistake of thinking that if A is published by a reliable source, and B is published by a reliable source, then A and B can be joined together in an article in order to advance position C. However, this would be an example of a new synthesis of published material serving to advance a position, and as such it would constitute original research. 'A and B, therefore C' is acceptable only if a reliable source has published this argument in relation to the topic of the article." Nescio never provided proof that the Information Operations Roadmap and Zarqawi PSYOP Program were linked. He then links Smith-Mundt through the Informations Operations Roadmap making it a violation of WP:OR. As for the first piece I am removing it because if you review the article, its mentioned 3 times already. However the second is clearly a vioaltion as Smith-Mundt is only linked to Information Operations Roadmap and Zarqawi program is not linked to either in any source. --User:Zer0faults 12:18, 15 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I was just told by a person voting here that I am lawyering by showing the above. Am I not allowed to present policy as a defense? Another person also made a comment in the voting section that is actually contrary to the very basis of that policy, stating information cannot be "well sourced original research", the section in question is exactly what WP:OR states people should not do.  --User:Zer0faults 12:46, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I give up defending myself, its funny how Arbcom members can make proposals and votes on policy but then when told they were wrong state its about the spirit and not the actual rules, its wikilawyering to jsut go by the letter of the policy. If your votes are based on the policy then to state its wikilawyering when your votes are actually against it, is creating a double standard, isnt that basically saying "I do what I want"? I would still lvoe to hear how the above is even in the manner of the spirit of the WP:OR policy. Why I ask people to use the talk page if it doesnt really matter what anyone says? --User:Zer0faults 13:33, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
