Question about qualifications of Online Ambassadors

[edit]

Hello,

I've posted this multiple places but it appears there is no procedure to address this problem. I've posted this multiple places but received no satisfactory reply. I reviewed a good article nomination by one of your Online Ambassadors who is on the Online Ambassadors Steering Committee. The article failed because the ambassador didn't understand what copyvio/plagiarism/close paraphrasing was and became argumentative. See Talk:Douglas W. Owsley/GA1. The ambassador attacked me for my review. Now a second review has failed the article for the same reasons. See Talk:Douglas W. Owsley/GA2. This Online Ambassador does not understand how to write an article without misusing sources. Please address this issue. Thanks, MathewTownsend (talk) 21:28, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Can I request a response from the steering committee on this? This person has made a complaint which merits a response. Would the steering committee like to address this complaint? If not, who should we ask? Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Given that a Steering Committee member directed Mathew here, I think it's safe to assume they are willing to look into it. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 23:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Ed - you are right, if Mathew does not wish to follow the formal recall process that has been pointed out a few times; I need to focus on making sure it doesn't happen again, instead of just applying a band-aid and forgetting about it. Epistemophiliac (talk) 01:22, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Wait, by coming here, I thought Matthew wanted to follow the recall process. This is the talk page for the full committee, after all, so I'd think this would fulfill the first step. Or am I wrong, Matthew? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 06:00, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
To avoid replicating conversations, lets keep this all on the Recall Process page then. Epistemophiliac (talk) 17:13, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't see the post there. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 23:38, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
