- Statement of the dispute
User:Suemcp has been edit warring on École Polytechnique massacre and Marc Lepine and excessively argumentative and uncivil on the talk page of that article. Various tactics have been tried to change her editing style and her treatment of other editors and none have succeeded. Furthemore, her account appears to exist only to edit these articles.
- Description
User:Suemcp has a strong point of view that the École Polytechnique massacre and Marc Lepine have been misrepresented by the media and "feminists". She operates a website devoted to this belief. This belief has led her to alter the École Polytechnique massacre and Marc Lepine in ways inconsistent with Wikipedia's policies of WP:V, WP:RS WP:NPOV and WP:OR. When her edits are removed, altered or questioned she either attacks other editors, or claims that Wikipedia's policies do not apply in this "unique circumstance." After several attempts to reason with her, from a variety of editors, she is still at it. She herself has requested that "outside Wikipedia staff" look into what she perceives as very biased treatment of the subject and herself. However when other editors and admins do make an appearance on the talk page, she accuses them of being biased themselves.
- Evidence of disputed behavior
- User:Suemcp's first series of edits to the page were the insertion of a link to her website [1][2][3] and edits to the article that were essay-like in tone [4].
Since these actions clearly demonstrated unfamiliarity with Wikipedia I welcomed her and placed a "talk in article" template on her talk page to direct her to the talkpage of the article. [5]. This led to a series of rants on the talk page
- [6] (calls editor privileged and therefore able to get way without discussion)
- [7] (questions editor's mentality, knowledge, input potential and is generally insulting)
- calls an editor an "ignorant feminist (and much, much more.)
- She also made a series of troubling edits to the article itself, for instance insisting on adding the phrase "for 17 years" into the first paragraph, [8][9][10]again, for not really clear reasons, until warned by me of 3RR.
She has been insulting and snide to various users who have attempted to explain Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for example:
- here, when thanked for her contributions by Slp1: I DON'T BELIEVE ITS UP TO you to do the thanking around here.'
- and here, when asked politely not to post in all caps: THIS IS A NEW SPEAKER, AS INDICATED BY THE CAPS. oKAY?.
She is currently trying to assert that a comment made on her website, in reference to an essay she wrote on that website, be used as a "source" for the section on Lepine's motivations, instead of the text of his suicide note[11]. She continues to remove sourced content and argue on the talk page [12]. Frankly, I have no idea how to get through to this person and need help. Dina 17:25, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
