Kudos
[edit]Thanks for re-writing the controversies section on the Lurita Doan page. AbejaAbajo (talk) 14:46, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I don't see it the same way as AbejaAbajo. In particular, while your candor is appreciated, I take exception to language like this: "the fact that there was a bit of controversy and then she resigned, for those that were happy to see her go, keeping the controversies section is a bit of delightful schafenfreude." That's simply a reductive statement that foreshadows your POV edit. While I agree the section could be "cleaner," the proposed section is fatally flawed. Please don't follow through on your proposed article edit. --Happysomeone (talk) 03:25, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- I see that you went ahead with your proposed (revised and enlarged) edit anyways, without reaching consensus. I strongly disagree with this approach. --Happysomeone (talk) 19:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
- The unexplained rewrite was reverted. He didn't discuss on the Talk page. -- SEWilco (talk) 04:08, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
POV concerns
[edit]Ok, so here's the comments that really raised my eyebrows, which are still standing above, and have never really been explained: "the fact that there was a bit of controversy and then she resigned, for those that were happy to see her go, keeping the controversies section is a bit of delightful schafenfreude." So, not really a helpful way to start a discussion about a proposed edit and really challenges WP:AGF. Please read the guideline.
Then, my original concerns on your following opinions:
- First
- Doan was an administrator of an obscure governmental agency
- Second
- Was never disciplined and was let go for what appears to be an interagency personality conflict
- Third
- Doesn't seem to rise to any historic or scholarly value
I say opinions, because as I have explained before, these three points are not passing the fact threshold for me. That is one of the reasons why I am opposed to your edit.--Happysomeone (talk) 22:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
