Tell MAMA response

edit

There have been various additions to Andrew Gilligan's article, including from myself (albeit a good part of this was shunting material which had been left by another editor under the wrong sub-heading), which makes it all the more important that the following vague sentence in "Tell MAMA response" is replaced with something more substantive: "It produced a rebuttal to the rest of Gilligan's main accusations."

I'm stopping now because it's v late over here in the UK, but maybe someone else can actually check the Tell MAMA article and see which points/accusations it actually rebuts. For instance, there's nothing about the specific Twitter incidents Gilligan mentions, for instance, that I can see. That is not to say they are the most substantive points, but I think we ought to make clear *which* points exactly were rebutted and how. Alfietucker (talk) 00:46, 21 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Tim Burton

edit

Someone editing without logging in has made an edit in connection with Tim Burton, and twice repeated it after it was reverted by two different editors, if I am not mistaken. The latest occurrence if this edit is here. This edit remov3es sourced info that I, for one think relevant, and adds the info that Burton later ran unsuccessfully for political office. I don't see how this is relevant to Burton's interactions with Tell MAMA, as his candidacy occurred only after those interactions were finished, and the subject of those interactions was not raise in his campaign -- or if they were, the source cited in the edit doesn't seem to say so. Thus I claim that this is irrelevant to this article, although it might be relevant in a biographical article about Burton. It is also WP:UNDUE as a possible attempt to reduce Burton's credibility bu mentioning collateral matter. Whether that was the intention or not, that is the practical effect, so per WP:UNDUE the text does not belong here. DES (talk) 01:21, 26 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

The information about the election result has again been inserted and removed. However, I have removed the previously present inline external link to an unreliable blog, apparently that of Burton, and the unsourced mention of a "folk ballad". If anyone has a policy-based reason why the election result should be mentioned in this article, please explain it here. DES (talk) 17:50, 28 July 2015 (UTC)Reply


The comments made about Timothy Martin Burton are accurate and they are being relogged when they are knowingly false. 'The ballad of.....' is nonsense and has been put there with no reference or link. Please remove and the links to this individual are accurate. Suggest that they are not removed since they are verifiable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.255.232.37 (talkcontribs) 14:01, 28 July 2015‎ moved from section below to appropriate thread DES (talk) 21:15, 28 July 2015 (UTC) Reply

The "ballad of" text was indeed improper and has been removed, my apologies for not doing so sooner. So has the inline link to Butron's blog. as I said above. But none of that is a reason for inserting the election result in the article. DES (talk) 21:17, 28 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Anonymous ip edits

edit

There are recent contentious edits by anonymous ips. These appear to have been made on behalf of Tell MAMA Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions#Help_dealing_with_abusive_account_modifying_our_Wiki_page.--Flexdream (talk) 19:02, 26 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Working link to now archived question - Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_366#Help_dealing_with_abusive_account_modifying_our_Wiki_page. That admission and this silent edit made by anonymous ip to my talk comment here seem to confirm that these anonymous ips are agents of Tell MAMA who want to conceal their allegiance for the obvious reason.--Flexdream (talk) 14:24, 29 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
