Removal of controversy paragraph

[edit]

A succession of IP editors has been trying to remove the paragraph about Sigafoos' involvement in an academic publishing scandal, sourced to The Guardian. The IP claims that Sigafoos' actions were within journal policy and therefore that they should not be described here. Rather than continuing to edit-war over this, can we have a discussion here? My own feeling is that (1) yes, this is a scandal, (2) whether the actions were within journal policy is not particularly important for whether it's a scandal, and (3) as a properly-sourced piece of information about the nature of Sigafoos' publication record the scandal can and should be reported here. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:17, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
