[edit]

Hello, I'm 1TWO3Writer. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Shellyne Rodriguez seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 123Writer talk 18:22, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What edit? Adding the word disgraced? It just means falling from a position of power, which she has as a professor is? I’m going to add it back. 108.147.2.53 (talk) 18:32, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi again. "Disgraced" is what is called a value-laden label. Please see this page of the MOS. Thank you! 123Writer talk 18:35, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That page doesn’t say that disgraced would apply to that definition. 108.147.2.53 (talk) 18:37, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but it is a value-laden label still. It applies negative value onto the subject. Wikipedia is neutral in language. "Former" is far more neutral and portrays the same point. 123Writer talk 18:40, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
But it doesn't cover that she was let go from that position, which it should. I guess a better descriptor would be "fired former professor" - does that work? 2600:8805:A15:C200:DC8B:66C8:40E6:35C1 (talk) 18:55, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
To use an extreme example, Jared Fogle is only listed as a "former restaurant spokesman" and not "fired". There doesn't seem to be a policy, but it seems to be a soft consensus in this if you look through more examples that the word "fired" isn't used at least in the lead. The reasoning of her losing her job is in the article so further clarification isn't needed. 123Writer talk 19:09, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Shellyne Rodriguez. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 18:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I didn’t add a personal attack. What are you talking about? Disgraced means that she’s fallen from a position of power. Professor is a position of power, and she is no longer a professor. 108.147.2.53 (talk) 18:36, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, as you did with this edit to Shellyne Rodriguez, you may be blocked from editing. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 18:37, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Shellyne Rodriguez. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Yoshi24517 (Chat) (Very Busy) 18:39, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

another editor on the page openly said he WAS edit warring. Hopefully you reacted to that as well. 108.147.2.53 (talk) 18:43, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
