Thank you!

Thank you Parplaywright (talk · contribs) for your recent addtition/contribution to the Medgar Evers page. You've got now the references I did not have when I tried to make a similar addition a couple of months ago. Your contribution has already been reverted by one of the editors who also was the first one to revert my addition back then. I don't expect my reversion to stand this time either, because back then there were 3 editors that finally blocked my addition. I expect that their coalition of 3 will resume their edit warring this time also. But at least we are two this time, not just me alone. Maybe in time a third editor will also join us, and by then we maybe can go to dispute resolution. You can see the whole history of what went down with my addtition on the page history and on the talk page of the article. Keep up the good work and kudos for the references you added. I had also the movie review from the NYT back then as reference, and when the addition stands maybe it can be re-added. But your references should be good enough for it to stand this time, hopefully. Cheers. warshy (¥¥) 16:44, 26 May 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Warshy:References or not, both are unacceptable.
  1. A You-tube excerpt from the film is not a reference that film is in any way an accurate portrayal (and You-tube is not permitted anyway).
  2. A Guide to writing fiction is, by its own admission, not a reference, especially as it is a review of the original fictional novel which is no more an encyclopaedic reference than the film.
A third editor may join you, but without any valid references that the film is an accurate portrayal of events, the edit cannot stand and dispute resolution will only consider cases backed by reliable and verifiable references of factual accuracy. In any case in view of the number of editors who have opposed its inclusion (counting also the consensus in the original discussion a few years back, you need more than three to reverse the established consensus. This issue has been exhaustively discussed on the talk page - twice, and thus far the position has not changed.
Incidentally, the editors who disagree with you are not a 'coalition' and to make such a claim is WP:ABUSE. We are unrelated editors who just happen to agree with one another (possibly because we understand the Wikipedia policies on reliable sourcing of facts and the exclusion of trivia). 86.154.151.124 (talk) 12:22, 27 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
The owner of the page has not expressed himself yet, and I for one, would not allow (and have not allowed in the past) you to raise your bunk on my own user page. As far as I am concerned, you are not welcome here in the least. It is clear to me that you are on WP to just police it and censor it from a particular point of view. What you write above is complete bunk of the same sort you have already put on the article page. This is an encyclopedic mention of the movie and of certain important elements it contains, such as the role Medgar Evers and his assassination play in it. If a movie is an accurate portrayal of a certain issue or not, does not apply to a mention of the movie in WP in the appropriate section, and of elements that are contained in the movie. The snipped referred to is allowed on WP, as are other YouTube sources, and it shows that the element referred to is in the movie, and how it fits in the overall plot. We will eventually go with this to dispute resolution if needed, and your arguments above will be just debunked. In the meantime, you can continue putting it in the article talk page, but not here, as far as I am concerned. warshy (¥¥) 17:03, 27 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
This is not your talk page. You do not have the right to decide who posts here and who does not or who is welcome and who is not. I am not 'policing' anything as you put it. I (and others like me) are just enforcing the Wikipedia policy concerning the inclusion of unreliable sources in articles on a particular subject.
You have not yet got the message. ALL references and material in support of an encyclopaedic article must be reliable, accurate and verifiable. The material that you are attempting to include, is by your own admission, fiction. That makes it unreliable and inaccurate and therefore as far from encyclopaedic as it is possible to get. This issue has been exhausted on the article talk page in two separate discussions with consensus easily in favour of its exclusion on both occasions. In both cases the grounds are that the film content is an unproven portrayal of Evers; that Evers appearance is incidental to the plot of the film.
If you continue to edit war in this area a referral to the adimins for persistently adding unreferenced trivial material is on the cards. I make it that you are currently at 7RR over this issue. 86.154.151.124 (talk) 12:50, 28 May 2019 (UTC)Reply
