Importation of off-wiki disputes into Wikipedia

http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Importation_of_off-wiki_disputes_into_Wikipedia

Wikipedia articles concerning living persons may include material—where relevant, properly weighted, and reliably sourced—concerning controversies or disputes in which the article subject has been involved. However, Wikipedia is not a forum provided for parties to off-wiki disputes to engage in or continue their hostilities. Experience has shown that misusing Wikipedia to perpetuate legal, political, social, literary, scholarly, or other feuds and disputes is harmful to the subjects of biographical articles, to the other parties to the dispute, and to Wikipedia itself. Therefore, an editor who is involved in a significant off-wiki controversy or dispute with another individual, or who is an avowed rival of that individual, should not edit that person's biography or other material about that person, given the possible conflict of interest. More generally, editors who have a strongly negative view regarding the subject of an article, just like editors with a strongly positive view of the subject, should be especially careful to edit that article neutrally if they choose to edit it at all.

Criticism

Michael Berube might be most notable for how much people dislike him. His wikipedia entry shows him as an upstanding professor! And it's blocked off to people criticizing him, so it would seem. Nice demonstration of the faults of wiki movement!

Add criticism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.3.161.99 (talk) 11:58, 16 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section using cite templates for books and articles, as well as tables for organising short stories, poems and/or book reviews. Capitalization and punctuation follow standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, as much as Wikipedia templates allow it. ISBNs and other persistent identifiers, where available, are commented out, but still available for reference. This is a work in progress; feel free to continue.
