Vandalism at Ola Al-Fares

What exactly are you trying to do by fabricating a story on a biography? Did you think it would go unnoticed? Makeandtoss (talk) 13:20, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

• Makeandtoss, Ms Al Fares is a public figure. Protections in WP:BLP that would protect her from embarrassment, if she was a non-notable nobody don't apply to her.

In answer to your question, no, I did not expect the passage I added to go unnoticed, either by our readers, or those wikipedia contributors interested in working on this article. I anticipated readers would find it added to their understanding of Ms Al-Fares. I expected any contributors interested in working on the article would actually look at the references I cited, rather than go off half-cocked, and accuse me of fabrication. Geo Swan (talk) 13:46, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

I did take a look at the references, none of which mentioned Ola. Do you think people are stupid? Makeandtoss (talk) 14:17, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

• Are people stupid? All people are stupid, some of the time, a small number of people are stupid, all of the time. Personally, I try to stay in the first group.

  Please remember that compliance with AGF requires us to do our best to assume fellow wikipedia contributors we disagree with, are in that first group. Geo Swan (talk) 21:44, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Sorry to be blunt. But its extremely difficult to assume you're in the first group when you literally twisted a source and fabricated a story out of your imagination, for god knows what intentions. Makeandtoss (talk) 21:59, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

• I don't believe you are sorry. And I don't believe you have any possible justification for your hostile attitude.

I encourage you to consider the possibility that you may be temperamentally unsuited to working on a project where you should be trying to work cooperatively with other contributors. Geo Swan (talk) 22:28, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
