Dealing with an Editor

edit

{{helpme}} I am getting "lawyered" by an editor, or two, in the Proton Therapy article. The editors are deconstructing the article so that it has little or no informative content. What is the best recourse and practice for dealing with this? --Mdphd2012 (talk) 18:19, 21 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Well you can go to their talk pages, and ask why they are making those edits, and just AGF. You can read more on this: Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. Message me if you need any more help.--Cubs197 (talk) 20:22, 21 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Please don't come to my talk page to talk about article edits, I will delete the comments immediately. They belong on the article talk page.
I have seen no one "lawyering" you.- Sinneed 21:01, 21 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Suggestions

edit
Instead of focusing on the editors (example: "Dealing with an Editor"), please consider focusing on the content.
Instead of focusing on discussion of various possible subjects (as here and here and, with a wee bit of personal nastiness that does not belong, here), focus discussion of the content.
I encourage you to join the discussion at the talk page proposing changes, and commenting on proposed changes.
I encourage heeding the warnings here on your talk page:

I think I understand that you want to make clear: That proton therapy is too expensive. That it is not actually, or not actually much, better than other radiation therapies. That child illnesses are being used as an excuse to advance technology. That these devices are being used to profiteer off illness. Perhaps those are great subjects for articles in WP, if so, I encourage you to write them if they interest you. But drowning the article about proton therapy in them is not the way. Perhaps, if you can find wp:reliable sources that explicitly say so, that content belongs (briefly) in the proton therapy article. I encourage you, if it interests you, to find the sources, and (please) propose the content, or even wp:be bold and add it.

You might consider a wp:RfC. I think that would be great. You have already been to wp:WQA but did not comment. Since there are already 3 editors working here (there were others but they seem to have left before the WQA drew me to the article), 3PO isn't really applicable. If you feel you are being mistreated, you might open an item at WQA.- Sinneed 21:01, 21 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive comments.
If you continue to make personal attacks on other people as you did at talk:Proton therapy, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Stop now. - Sinneed 05:59, 11 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Posting a copy of this template to my user talk page is not appropriate, and is disruptive. You have already been given multiple warnings by multiple editors. This disruptive behaviour is not acceptable.- Sinneed 23:27, 11 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
