NPOV issues with User:70.160.18.41 / User:1900CLEAR54

The blog link this user (who also appears to be User:72.64.43.135 and User:76.79.192.208) oontinues to insert in the articles clearly violates WP:BLP and WP:ELNO. It is especially pernicious in that the URL and reference are designed to appear to the casual reader to be the subject's own blog, not an attack blog aimed at him.

This user did finally provide a reliable source for one point (the judgeships). I tried to make the language of that section more neutral but he reverted that, inserting a statement that directly contradicts the source. He has also made a point of citing the attack blog as a "source". Rklear (talk) 06:06, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your efforts. I have tweaked the language again to make it consistent with the sources and to address some of the BLP concerns. The attack blog is not a reliable source, and, based on various policies (notably WP:BLP), may not be used as a reference or external link. WP:BLP is non-negotiable and continued insistance on using the blog will result in the protection of this article from editing.--Kubigula (talk) 16:47, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
