Sarah Palin

Do not remove tags over contended sections as you did on the Palin article while discussion is ongoing on the article talk page. Consensus is not required to add a tag. Please follow basic editing procedures and refrain from disruptive edits. Thanks. Scribner (talk) 20:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I do believe my explanation in the edit summary there explained why the tag was not constructive. Consensus is not required to add a tag, however, a valid rationale is a prerequisite. Given that the issue had already been discussed on the talk page and resolved with consensus, your tagging the article did not appear to be a valid step in the process. (For example, if every time someone disagreed with consensus they could simply respond by tagging the article, we would have a lot of unnecessary and unhelpful tags scattered throughout the encyclopedia.) Consensus certainly can change, but using tags as a bargaining chip or bludgeon is not the intended use. jæs (talk) 21:03, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Courtesy notice - your actions are being discussed here. Regards.  7  23:42, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Smells like a case of forum shopping to me. I've responded there, though. Thanks for the heads up! jæs (talk) 23:54, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
