Party Affiliation
editCan I work for the Conservative party on voluntary basis in BC. I am of South Indian origin and would like to do part time volunteering for the party. I had involved in politics at university level in India other than that not much pedigree in the politics. 57 yrs. old and holds a postgraduate diploma in management from the university of wales UK. Your opinion in the matter is requested. Thank you. Joby Paul MOOLAN, 101-5955 Yew St. Vancouver BC. 209.161.250.210 (talk) 07:55, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
Opponent opinions
editOn 2 October 2024 PoliticalPoint added in the lead about racism, anti-LGBTQ, anti-human rights, conspiracy, eating bugs, etc. I reverted with edit summary = "Undid revisions as of 2 October 2024 by PoliticalPoint. This makes much of the lead a list of accusations by political opponents. Perhaps seek consensus on the talk page?" Instead of doing so, PoliticalPoint re-inserted with edit summary = "exceptionally well-sourced". Actually I believe that at least some of the sourcing is poor or doesn't directly support, but what should be clarified first is: WP:BLPUNDEL says "If [contentious material] is to be restored without significant change, consensus must be obtained first." Apparently PoliticalPoint doesn't follow that policy so I am appealing for input from others. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 13:41, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
Update: Ak-eater06 has removed. Good. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 16:41, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
Update: PoliticalPoint reported Ak-eater06 on Administrator intervention against vandalism, without success. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 19:10, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- That lead was added in without any consensus. I reverted it. Deathying (talk) 22:33, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- The content is in accordance with biography guidelines as it is supported by multiple reliable sources. --PoliticalPoint (talk) 22:55, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- You can keep saying that all you want and I will keep reverting it. In my opinion it violates WP:NPOV, and has your opinions mixed into it rather than presenting what your sources actually discuss. Deathying (talk) 23:09, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

- The conspiracies and controversies should be covered in the lead as is the case on the article for Mark Robinson (American politician). --PoliticalPoint (talk) 22:55, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- User:PoliticalPoint This will not do anything as me, User:Deathying and User:Peter Gulutzan, have already agreed that you should not promote your personal views on the lead of an article such as this. You can "warn" me all you want, but you in reality are the one who is creating vandalism. Ak-eater06 (talk) 23:20, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- It looks like PoliticalPoint has created a sock puppet User:Factsoverfiction118, who joined Wikipedia a couple minutes ago exclusively to edit this article. Deathying (talk) 23:32, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- Always be careful before accusing someone of sockpuppetry. Best to get confirmation first. Masterhatch (talk) 23:39, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- No idea who PoliticalPoint is but spam deleting direct sourcing from CBC, Global news and the National Observer seems a pretty clear violation of wiki policy. Factsoverfiction118 (talk) 00:31, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
- I think you need to get consensus here before re-adding it. The onus is on you to get that consensus. Please stop edit warring. Thanks! Masterhatch (talk) 01:10, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Revert war
editThis revert war is getting silly. You guys better stop b4 blocks are handed out. Factsoverfiction118, clearly you need to come to the talk page to get consensus. So, please stop and come to talk. Masterhatch (talk) 23:46, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- My reverts are justified under BLP rules. Factsoverfiction118 is misattributing a claim made by one of Rustad's candidates as Rustad's words himself. Deathying (talk) 00:04, 5 October 2024 (UTC)
