Hitler

Just a personal request: we should all avoid revert wars as much as possible as it tends to work against one's credibility.

Certain highly POV editors will never back up their arguments or cite good sources, and reject scholarly information when it suits them, yet have pretences of being NPOV and scholarly, preferring to dominate over articles through sheer obstinacy, subtle provocation, or the defamation of other editors. To make things worse, better or more experienced editors are likely to support such characters based on the appearance of credibility they project, failing to see the issue at hand. This routine can be observed over the last seven or eight archived Talk pages at Hitler, for example.

Such POV affairs are a fairly common occurence at Wikipedia. However, since (I assume) our common interest is in keeping articles as contextually accurate as possible, we should keep our distance from them so as to better tackle the successive issues that will keep cropping up over a period of time. We have a better chance of stabilising articles for the better this way, rather than letting rule-abiding weasels get away with patent nonsense, thanks to the hypocrisy and community support they exploit. -- Simonides 02:05, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
