is a subcategory of 1970s cars. It is overcategorization to put a article in both its parent and subcategory....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 04:23, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Dusti: I have already contacted Wiki admins. This is NOT an edit war on my part. And there is absolutely no consensus to be reached. The multiple anonymous IP edits are part of a concentrated attack on Wikipedia itself, to cause disrepute to Wikipedia, which have been organized and encouraged by some fool of a tutor at Robert Gordon University in the UK, who has been telling his students for several years that Wiki is an unreliable source and encouraging them to vandalize Wiki to prove it.

If you will follow the "contribs" links of these anonymous IPs, you will see that they all come from the same little area of the UK, and none of them have ever contributed anything but to vandalize this article by reposting the exact same fake information, over and over again for since 2012.

This Hannibal_Brooks page needs to be semi-protected against anonymous IP edits PERMANENTLY because this has been going on since 2012.

In summary, you have asked me to reach a consensus with people who are vandalizing Wikipedia with fictional info for sport. Lucy the Elephant was never anything but a fictional story and movie, and Olga the elephant never existed, and the Tom Wright who wrote the story and movie was never a POW. "Had a reply back from Wright's friend. He says that Wright was never a POW!"

As if vandalizing Wiki isn't bad enough, the vandals are even taking the extra step to claim that they are in the right, when they are publishing the same repeated unsourced fictional information over and over, which has been shown to be a deliberate act of vandalism.

@Dusti:Quora contributor admits that Olga the Elephant is a hoax to troll Wikipedia "Just to be clear the story of Olga the Elephant is fictional, the Tutor has this story in his opening lecture every year when going over how to reference research papers, with glee. Needless to say none of his students reference Wikipedia anymore, and everytime we see someone do so, we start giggling."^[1]

Hi, would you mind discussing the matter on the article talk page? That is, without reverting. It is your responsibility to build consensus for what you want. Wehwalt (talk) 22:34, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, have you noticed that there is extensive white washing on articles related to what Texas calls "revolution" and Mexico called "invasion"?

Those brave and noble federalists (law-breaking illegal immigrants) fought for freedom (to own slaves) and defense of property (slaves and stolen land) against that evil centralist dictator (lawfully elected president of the republic) Santa Anna (who freed the slaves and enforced immigration bans).

Common examples of weasel words

2+2 is considered 4

According to John, 2+2=4

John alleges that 2+2=4

2+2 is claimed to be 4

Some people say 2+2 is 4

You seem to be treating Wikipedia as a battleground. It isn't that. It's a collaborative project to build an encyclopedia. It's my hope that in a week the heat of the current conflict will have worn off and you'll be able to collaborate constructively with your peers once more. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she|they|xe) 11:20, 5 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
