Linguistic liberty
editI understand artistic liberties exercised in written form. I am curious regarding established standards and best editorial practices related to the presentation of information if ever a contradiction was to occur. Particularly I find: "...the multitude of sanctions in effect..." significantly embellishes the less attractive facts of the case. Unless truth and accuracy is of little consequence, a "multitude of sanctions" is unsupportable. IMO - My76Strat (talk) 03:21, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- That is the language used to describe the case for the last several ArbReports. I am open to any suggestions for re-wording. :) Lord Roem (talk) 03:23, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- I am very new here, and I would not presume to enter this esteemed project with advice. I am curious to ascertain the editorial governance that good faith editors are to strive for, here; in conforming to best practice. Now if truth and accuracy is a goal, perhaps paramount, then I would assert dissenting agreement. To be colorful, and accurate, I would suggest "the ubiquitous implications of the broadly construed sanctions in effect", or some-such form. I do thank you for considering my question.
