"Controversies" section

Latest comment: 3 days ago2 comments1 person in discussion

An unregistered editor has begun an edit war to move material out of this article's "History" section to a new "Controversies" section that they have placed near the end of the article. These incidents are part of the college's history, not separate from it. The label "Controversies" is POV. Placing the material near the end of the article appears like an attempt to downplay them. And, contrary to the editor's edit summaries, it is not "customary" to include a "Controversies" section - both our advice for college and university articles and broader advice say that these sections should not exist with the college-specific advice explicitly recommending that notable controversies be placed in the "History" section.

User:ElKevbo: First, you need to be more civil and less willfully misrepresentative of other users. One user made a change. You objected, claiming it was something it wasn't. They restored it, with a very clear and specific edit summary. Eight days later, after making your own single post here you reverted the same edits again, claiming they had "been discussed" here. When clearly they had not.

You are evidently considerably better informed than this user in the specifics of the WP:Manual of Style pertaining to college articles. Try leading with that, and appropriately leaning into it, not waging ad hominum attacks or casting unfounded but besmirching aspersions - including seeking to tar all unregistered users specifically. (See WP: Don't Bite the Newbies.) And let go of the attempts at mind-reading, as you don't know what that user thinks or why. In fact, it is quite possible they feel their edits both call more attention to the controversies - they all are that - and conform with controversy sections they have seen - and quite possibly even dislike - at other articles.

See? Stick to what is knowable, and be civil. Ease up on the omnipotence. And don't throw edit warring aspersions around when an editor has made an edit you objected to that they restored with a clear edit summary explaining why. You, afterall, are the one who made two reverts, not them. And, last, recognize - as you can read it here - that the most recent edit restoration was to give you a chance to read this, and benefit from it. Now you may restore the prior copy, citing all the WP: sections you find appropriate. But do not characterize it as "edit warring", as its specific raison has just been clearly stated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:196:180:dc0:b430:3bb0:160d:767e (talk • contribs) 11:52, November 11, 2024 (UTC)

You have explicitly said that it's okay to "restore the prior copy" so I have done so. ElKevbo (talk) 01:18, 12 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
