Bashir

I responded to your comments on my talk page--note that I moved your section to the bottom, because new sections on talk should always go at the bottom. And I had to remove your next addition to the Bashir article, because Youtube is almost never a reliable source; we're not even allowed to link to it unless the poster is the copyright holder, which that person clearly is not. Please read WP:RS--I'm not opposing the addition because of my "POV", I'm opposing it because Wikipedia requires, in all cases, reliable sources, but especially requires very high quality RS for negative claims about living people. Find an RS, or the info cannot go in. Qwyrxian (talk) 01:36, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

He gave a link to a recording of the comment itself - clearly that's a reliable source for the fact he said it. Calliopejen1 (talk)

In response to your feedback

I think it was wrong from him to remove the information on the ground that there was no reliable source--it is indisputable that he said that. HOWEVER, I agree that it was correct for him to remove the information on the ground that including would be undue emphasis on one small comment in the context of a larger biography. Perhaps if there were a major scandal related to that comment, it would be appropriate to include. But the negative reaction seems to have remained mostly confined to right-wing blogs. In my view, including it would violate the policy WP:UNDUE.

Important Issue

Sorry I think it is important that bigotry like this should not be tolerated, and if a public news figure is going to make such statements his career should reflect it.

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:58, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
