January 2022 edit
An attempt to insert libellous and defamatory allegations using a non RS has been removed, added by IP Address 148.252.133.185 The same issue occurred on the Northern Independence Party – see Talk. These additions violate Biographies of living persons where contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. Attention must be paid to core content policy 4 on biographies of living persons, which states that biographical articles must be written to the highest standard using only high-quality sources.
Therefore, caution is to be advised in having any further discussion on the matter given strong legal implications, where Libelous material could expose Wikipedia to legal consequences.
- Absolutely nothing about the allegations against Proudfoot are libellous. All the claims in that section had reliable sources to back them up. You do not remove material from a person's article because it makes them look bad. 148.252.133.185 (talk) 20:22, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
The issue is not that it looks bad but that it violates Biographies of living persons. You are further again advised to remove the content of allegations from this discussion as per Biographies of living persons. Furthermore, the accusation made is not cited in the source given, this also violates Libelous — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vasey2020 (talk • contribs) 20:33, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- All the allegations are cited in the source in question. You are being deliberately disingenuous, and considering your edit history it seems apparent that you have a conflict of interest and are potentially a single-purpose account, both of which are against Wikipedia policy. I would ask that you clarify this. 148.252.133.185 (talk) 20:43, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
Escalated to appropriate talk board, contributor trying the insertions clearly has an axe to grind. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.199.207.22 (talk) 20:49, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
