Planned Parenthood
editFirst, I reverted your changes to the Planned Parenthood article because the sum total was not neutral, misrepresenting abortion as a "social injustice", and giving too much weight to minor issues.
Second, the article is subject to administrative sanctions such that only one reversion is allowed per day. You should discuss your desired changes on the talk page, at Talk:Planned Parenthood, rather than revert back to your preferred version. If you violate the one reversion rule (1RR) you may be blocked by an administrator. Binksternet (talk) 00:28, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
Bias is not my intention here, but balance.
Since you found that "the sum total [of my edits] was not neutral," you must have found some of them to be neutral. I had credible sources for my edits.
It seemed to me in reading the current page that it does not have much balance and attempts to only show Planned Parenthood in a positive, rather than neutral light.
Under Margaret Sanger and Eugenics (Controversy and Criticism), the original text does not fully explain nor explore the facets of the controversy surrounding the subject. My sources from New York University and Planned Parenthood's leaflet help to provide a clearer understanding of the topic.
To clarify the comment about "social injustice," I meant that activists see abortion as a social injustice. I also contend that listing activist groups under Controversy and Criticism makes sense as they are the top contenders and critics. Juicebox 90 (talk) 22:57, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
- The issue of whether or not we include more information on Sanger's eugenics ideas has been discussed in the past and the consensus was that it be left out. That pertains more to her article than Planned Parenthood. As a parallel example, we don't mention that George Washington owned slaves in the American Revolutionary War article even though he was one of the founding fathers of the country and owned slaves. Efforts to do that would be reverted on the basis that it's not topical for that article. I'm am well aware of the efforts to by some pro-life groups to argue that Planned Parenthood is involved in genocide, but that's a fringe view. You can read up on WP:Fringe if you like.Mattnad (talk) 15:16, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
Planned Parenthood is covered by discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBAB

Please carefully read this information:
The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Abortion, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.
Discretionary sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimize disruption to controversial topics. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to the topic that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behavior, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. This message is to notify you sanctions are authorised for the topic you are editing. Before continuing to edit this topic, please familiarise yourself with the discretionary sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.Welcome to The Wikipedia Adventure!
