Expense Controversy

Users keep undoing the expense controversy section citing unreliable source. The section details a website that appears to reveal the article subject's controversial spending of a public institutions funds as employment expenses. The section links to the official website which hosts images to expense reports detailing the spending. Any talk surrounding the section should occur here so as to maintain transparency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yoerked (talk • contribs) 23:08, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please see my message on your talk page, which should clear up any confusion. Isingness (talk) 23:11, 21 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added a news source as per your message on my talk page. Yoerked (talk) 24:51, March 2018 (UTC)

It seems that another user has deleted the edit, the reason would be that you used a student paper as the citation, rather than something along the lines of CTV, CBC, CP24, Globe and Mail, the Star, or Global. That's the level to which it would need to be reported before the source is reliable and third-party enough to show up on Wikipedia without if violating the site's protections on biographies of living people. Student papers are not seen as independent or reliable enough to post materials about controversies on Wikipedia. Hope this helps! Isingness (talk) 05:03, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV dispute

This article seems to be written by a few people who are targeting Rhonda Lenton in particular because of the ongoing 2018 York University strike. Two of these contributors, Yoerked and Tonlen (a rearranging of Lenton) have usernames which suggest that they are throwaway accounts made to vandalize this page and others associated with the strike. The picture of her that is up is one associated with a website personally targeting Rhonda Lenton for her leaked expense account. I think it should be reverted to an earlier revision. The April 6th revision seems to be the most neutral. Funktasticdog (talk) 03:53, 15 May 2018 (UTC)Funktasticdog[reply]

Not everything in the updates have been noncompliant with Wikipedia's rules, so a full revert wouldn't be helpful. But if you know of specific lines that are at issue, discussing them here could be beneficial. I am not sure that just because the material isn't flattering that there is anyone "targeting" the page subject, and not merely adding material on the balance of her career. The image is a bit odd, though those working the photo side of the site haven't flagged it, and I trust they're on the ball. Still, the source is clear.

Okay, there has been no further movement on this in over a week. This appears to be yet another attempt by pro-university advocates to use improvement banners in a punitive manner to try and distract readers from the content of pages involved in the current York strike. Nothing further has been said other than that someone feels like two prior accounts might have added improper material; all of which has either been removed or adjusted since posted. Only an SPA has mentioned further revisions, as one of their four total edits, with no follow-up. As the only complaint is that already removed edits were not NPOV, then there is no reason to continue flagging the page. Isingness (talk) 20:24, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have also now attempted to add more information on her research; it appears most was conducted through randomized telephone surveys on sensitive social issues. Isingness (talk) 22:32, 23 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
