Hi! As far as I can see, the section you're removing from Weil, Gotshal & Manges is confirmed by reliable sources? If that's not the case, you can explain your reasons at Talk:Weil, Gotshal & Manges, and get consensus from other users that the best version of this article wouldn't include that section. However, you'll need to stop leaving personal attacks against User:Knowsetfree, since that does not accomplish anything except a possible block for yourself. Thanks! -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:09, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The standard for being included in Wiki is not simply that it "be confirmed by a reliable source". The deletions have their reasons in the log of the deletions for all to see. Antisoapbox (talk) 17:11, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's true, there is a little more to inclusion than verification, though that's the most important standard. So if you'd like to discuss, on the article's talk page, why Wikipedia's policies require the paragraphs to be removed, and gain the consensus of other users, you are welcome to do so. WP:SOAPBOX doesn't appear to apply in this case, in my opinion, but you're welcome to explain yourself more thoroughly at the article talk page. If you think you'd like more objective editors to review the disagreement, WP:DISPUTE has a variety of suggestions for how to move forward in an editing dispute while still following the rules. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:18, 22 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi fishergueen, new users may not know it, but there is MUCH more to inclusion than verification. See WP:NPOV and WP:NOT Knowsetfree is free to have more objective editors review his/her submission of old immaterial allegations against companies. It is pretty clear to me and others that these sections violate WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:WEIGHT, WP: SOAP also out of date and generally not encyclopedia worthy. Also his allegations of vandalism show an ignorance of what vandalism is so I have tried to point him in the right direction with cites to policy pages so that he may learn what the rules are.

Hi Antisoapbox, Sorry to say that I'm going to have to agree with FisherQueen that your edits may be problematic. But it is even worse than FisherQueen may have been aware. We have over half a dozen attempts at censoring the misconduct section, followed by reverts, usually by Anons. First, I'll have to give you the benefit of the doubt, that you were somehow unaware of the recurring issues. But then I saw that you commented on my talk page, and added a comment at the bottom welcoming me to the world of Wikipedia. I'm beginning to doubt your sincerity because you ignored the extensive Talk history. You can read about the extensive history, often by Anons, of deleting the very same unflattering content about the law firm Weil Gotshal in a number of instances including:
And this includes reverts to edits also labeled as vandalism by other editors such as Spitfire8520 and ButtonwoodTree. --Knowsetfree (talk) 02:39, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Knowsetfree, what is the wiki policy that you are citing? I don't see any relevance to recounting the years old history of talk pages. Is there a specific wiki policy that you are applying and that makes years old revision history relevant? I don't know if old history is relevant. For instance is the old history that your many of your category creations were deleted because they violated wiki policies?
Is this old history relevant too? Some good wiki policies that I believe actually are relevant are WP:INDISCRIMINATE, WP:WEIGHT, WP: SOAP, WP:VAN, and WP:NOTVAND. Antisoapbox (talk) 12:25, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dianna, Welcome to Wikipedia. You may consider learning about fair use: "Around 10% of Wikipedia pages in English have some form of fair use content—that’s over 500,000 articles quoting from a book or an article;" Says the GC of Wikemedia Foundaiton anyway.

Hi Hipal, Welcome to Wikipedia. I will add you to my list of people that I will check in on as the maintstream position of academics is reflected in the more slow moving associations that you seem to be blinded by. But thanks for attempting, and failing, to contribute anything useful or marshall any facts or evidence in your favor. Antisoapbox (talk) 20:06, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
