Paediatrician's house tagging (graffiti)

I removed the claim a paediatrician was persecuted due to mistaken identity here [1]. This was reverted for me giving 'no reason'. Yet as I explained in my edit summary when I first removed the content, a much later follow up calls into question the narrative of mistaken identity [2] so I've reverted this reversion. I won't revert again if my edits are reverted yet again, although hopefully without a misleading edit summary this time.

But the fact remains, there is a major problem with what we were saying. Based on an interview with one of the key police officers involved in the investigation the author of Press Gazette article suggest it was probably simply local youngsters. While they did write the word 'paedo' on the person's home, whether they genuinely were confusing her with a paedophile or were simply playing some dumb game is unclear since they were never identified and "'Stupid kids in Gwent do something stupid.'".

In any case, while the attack was understandably distressing for the victim, probably part of the reason she looked into moving to somewhere "more upmarket" it seems a bit weird to call it persecution. This seems to imply something more than a single incident of paedo being written on a home while the person is out.

From what I can tell, while a lot of sources keep repeating nonsense claims over this incident, no source has actually looked into the details and contested the Press Gazette article.

So at a minimum, I don't think we should mention this anecdote without a clearly description of what we know i.e. the only thing that happened was paedo being written on the person's home, with the motives unknown as the perpetrators were never caught although it's suspect they may have been youths. But IMO it would be simply best to just leave this out, it seems too minor an incident with the details unclear for it to be included. The fact that other sources keep repeating it is not a reason for us to do so when we actually look into the source.

EDP445

Does anyone else think that there should a page created called EDP445? And have it be redirect to this page? Since this is the only Wikipedia page that appears to mention him. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 23:43, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
