[edit] The Events of "2/9" (2/9/07)

Here is your post. Are you being obtuse or do you honestly not understand that sarcastic, tongue in cheek language such as this has no place in an encyclopedia? Cheers. L0b0t 20:47, 9 February 2007 (UTC) "Following the loss of Anna Nicole Smith, Ron and Fez sought to be a source of inspiration and hope to their listeners. Legions of callers from the United States of America and across the globe called in to console, to grieve, and to heal with the hosts of the show. Aside from taking calls to share in this life experience, Ron and Fez vowed to continue on with the show as the news about the tragic loss continued to develop. They also acknowledged that it was, in light of the magnitude of the story, perhaps the hardest of times to try and broadcast a show."

Yes thats the post. Thanks for reposting it here. Attacking me personally by calling me obtuse is unhelpful and not the Wikipedia way. Eatabullet 20:50, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


Please assume good faith. Never have I called you any name at all. I asked if you were being obtuse, I did not say you were being obtuse. Please see WP:NPOV for the type of neutral language that is required of all contributors. Cheers. L0b0t 20:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes please assume good faith. I say the same to you. You are implying I am obtuse and you are assuming what I wrote WAS tongue in cheek. Was it? On what basis do you claim that? Are you familiar with what you are mercilessly editing? Eatabullet 20:56, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Again, I implied nothing, I did not call you a name, I did not insult you in any way. I simply asked you a question. Cheers. L0b0t 20:58, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Sure you did, anyone can see above. And you are also engaging in an editing war with me. Unless you go ahead and try to remove that from the public record as well as you did from your talk page [1].Eatabullet 21:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)


If you were offended by my question then I'm sorry and you should probably reread it. You accused me of calling you names, I did nothing of the kind. You accuse me of trying to hide my edits from public scrutiny by removing your comments from my talkpage, I respectfully point out that the conversation is being carried out on your talk page not mine. You accuse me of starting an edit war with you, one could just as easily say you have started an edit war with me as you are the one trying to insert unsourced POV material. I don't care about any of that. I do care about citeing sources and keeping POV language out of the encyclopedia. Please, let's take the material to the talkpage of the article itself to gain consenus. Cheers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by L0b0t (talk • contribs) 21:12, 9 February 2007 (UTC).
I don't know where you come from, but saying to someone "Are you obtuse or..." in the context of editing an encyclopedia is not regarded as friendly or helpful. I was working with you to edit what I posted, as the history of the Ron and Fez article shows. I have no problem changing things around to make it better. Your first action was not to improve the article, it was to unilaterally delete the entire new entry. That is unhelpful. The editing process is multi-faceted, not a one way street according to what you yourself say should be deleted or not. Talk page of the article is a good idea. Eatabullet 21:19, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

My apologies for coming on strong out of the gate. Again, I think a rereading might be helpful; there is a world of difference between "Are you obtuse or..." (which is a question about your personal character and therefore a no-no) and "Are you being obtuse or..." (which is a question about your edit and your understanding of my objections to it.) I'm sorry if the question raised your hackles, that was never my intent. Cheers. L0b0t 21:29, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for comment/L0b0t

I have opened a request for comment on this user regarding his removal of talk page comments without response. You asked him to stop this here. I would appreciate your certifing this RFC if you think it is appropriate. Hipocrite - «Talk» 14:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

You may not be familiar with two important policies at Wikipedia. Wikipedia:Attribution says that:

  • The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is whether material is attributable to a reliable published source..

And WP:BLP says that:

  • Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just highly questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately, and without discussion from Wikipedia articles...

None of the info in that article is sourced reliably, and much of it is derogatory. I only removed the worst. Please find suitable sources before the rest of the contentious material is removed. (Note: this is also a problem with several other radio show articles). -Will Beback · † · 06:28, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. I reverted your edits to East Side Dave because it appeared they were entirely sourced from forums. Those aren't sufficient sources for any article, but especially not for biographies of living people. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 06:17, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
