Do not edit this page. Beware of the Darwinbish.
NinaGreen's article editing
[edit]I don't understand Nina's complaint here and in many other places that consensus is always against "Oxfordian" edits because "Oxfordian editors are vastly outnumbered by Stratfordian editors, and thus consensus is always against any edit proposed by an Oxfordian editor." That state of affairs is not a piece of injustice; it's how editing of controversial articles is supposed to work on Wikipedia. Even so, Nina's frequent claims that none of her major edits to the article have been accepted [diffs of these claims to follow] are highly exaggerated. In an attempt to randomise the information as best I can, I provide below a chronological list of her first 22 edits of Shakespeare authorship question. They're not cherry-picked in any way but simply represent Nina's editing and its reception over her first 16 hours editing the SAQ, on December 16 2010 (in my timezone). I hope such realism of detail gives the flavour of the thing.

Below, on the other hand, are some picked edits (out of many), illustrating the disruptive side of Nina's editing. None of these edits had talkpage consensus, or were given any kind of notice on Talk; none were kept.
