You're on thin ice, consider this an official warning

In accordance with the discussion here, this is an official warning you are on one of your very last chances:


https://allthetropes.org/w/index.php?title=Topic:Vpxwj18sbjnbe8k3&topic_showPostId=vq4ort0i163p69cj&fromnotif=1#flow-post-vq4ort0i163p69cj


Let's be very, very clear on why. This is a wiki about discussing MEDIA as regards it's structure and usage of tropes. This is NOT a political soapbox. You can be left, right, or center personally, but your politics need left at the door if you cannot be objective discussing how tropes have relevance to their use in media or parties whose usage of tropes are part of their political position.


Using this place to express partisan political positions of ANY alignment is NOT acceptable, and we especially have no regard for doing so if it has no relevance to the site mission. And even if it is relevant in regards to the site mission when discussing tropes used in their expression, you either leave your political axe to grind or you simply should not post at all.


This wiki will not, repeat NOT, be left open to accusations of libel, which your edits have approached the potential legal threshold of, and we'd rather have you spend your time elsewhere if you cannot abide by this warning.


This warning, if flouted, means you are on notice that if it happens again, I or another admin may block you indefinitely, and there will be no appeal if it is clear you are in blatant defiance. We'd rather not lose a troper, but to guard against a potential libel suit, we will run that risk if you ignore us on this.

I support my fellow moderator's position as stated above. EDIT: And as edited.

Likewise.

Pulling the next tooth... Is that an authenticated Facebook account? Do these "a few sources" have names?

(It would be faster if you would provide links to the "articles from reasonably reputable news outlets" that Looney Toons requested in the first place.)

2dgirlfan (talkcontribs)

The page has a blue checkmark indicating it's an authenticated page.

Newsweek has an article. I wasn't aware we had a policy current events must be specifically cited from such articles. If we do, I apologize.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

We don't have such a policy, but you have a history of adding unsubstantiated accusations and false representations to articles.

EDIT: The Newsweek article is an ideal source, Please add it as a footnote or direct link in the examples, if you haven't already.

> We don't have such a policy, but you have a history of adding unsubstantiated accusations and false representations to articles.

For this reason, I have removed you from the list of autopatrolled users. Again. We must patrol your edits for the foreseeable future - and that means more than one month.

Your update to "City of Heroes"

Robkelk (talkcontribs)

Hello again... Considering the reason I had to post to your talk page last time, I have to ask you for a cite for your recent addition to the City of Heroes page.

Specifically, you said "This was quite the incident since the secrecy wasn't out of a fear of shut-down but to allow the admins to milk money from it." Considering we could get sued for posting statements like that, I need to know where you heard that from, and what evidence there is to back up that statement.

For now, I'm removing that statement from the page. in order to protect the wiki.

Please reply to this post, on this page, so that I know you are aware of this action and the reason behind it.

I'll see if I can dig up a usable source (the video I would put has been taken down), but I'm fine with it being removed for now.

Looney Toons (talkcontribs)

Seconding Rob here -- none of the coverage I've seen, spanning multiple sites, even suggests there was a monetary motive to the private server, or that any kind of sabotage was engaged in. If you do find your video again, make sure it's something more than a butthurt gamer slinging baseless accusations. If it is, there should be corroborative evidence elsewhere, which you should also cite. The fact that it has been taken down, though, suggests it may well not have been as trustworthy a source as you would like.

Before you say somebody's been put on trial...
