One of many examples is when it is a well known fact at the UN, that the
Islamic State (and Al Qaeda before it) is regularly referred to as a terrorist organization in U.N. communiqués. Yet " a couple of editors" revert well sourced content because they are incompetent to read correctly and click on
709:
It is my opinion that one should communicate with others on
Knowledge (XXG) as if he or she is talking "face to face" to Queen Elizabeth with all the video cameras recording everything that is being said. Then re-read what he or she writes before communicating with others. This will go a long way
448:
Knowledge (XXG) to IMMEDIATELY fire admins and reviewers etc. who "choose" to be nasty and engage in defamation, personal attacks, or worse enable editors to engage in personal attacks against editors they don't like, and refuse to remove personal attacks brought to them. I reserve ALL my rights...

This is my opinion and factual observations on MY user page. Some user pages even have cartoons. My user page is maintained in the best interest of
Knowledge (XXG) and its "continuous improvement". By reading my User page, you must agree NOT to use any of my opinions against me nor "assume that you
738:
If you disagree with my edit, or I inadvertently violate WP Principles, use my "private" Talk page to let me know in a respectful manner and I will be willingly responsive, as long as you provide me with the exact provision in WP policy that I violated, as well as state the policy. Let me explain:
563:
3. What I try to do is, instead of DEMANDING editors to perfectly adhere to WP policy in 24 hours after they create an article, I allow new and experienced editors to create and add new content and I assume good faith. I patiently wait 4-6 months so they and other interested editors can build the
539:
3. Unfortunately, the culture that made me feel uncomfortable 6-7 months ago is still here, and a (very) small number of such admins used the "very" small time I spent as a pretext to instigate me. I can raise these issues with Jimmy Wales or one of the good stewards but I don't have neither the
764:
I am respectful and enjoy a civil, mutually empowering debate. I don't deal well with a hostile, chauvinist, pompous and patronizing approach. So, those who can't help it are better off asking someone decent to contact me on your behalf if you disagree with my edit. You will get what you want,
689:
of our (generally quite useful) notion of assuming good faith. Many editors (and admins) have focused so much on this that they have come to believe that good faith is all that is required to be a useful contributor (and challenge the content of your edits). Sadly, this is not the case at all.
528:
1. Without providing a list of names, last year, I was dismayed by the culture of a (very) small number of admins and their darling pets that are incompetent to understand what I write and misinterpret the correct definition of my words. They then apply rules selectively to instigate and also
447:
that
Knowledge (XXG) will start suffering from a number of lawsuits against it and against some of its admins and reviewers "personally"... IMO, this will be extremely life changing to the accused defendants and very bad for Knowledge (XXG). The solution is very simple... ALL it takes is for
597:
acting in an adversarial manner towards an unsuspecting editor that they misunderstood, and try to negatively impact the good image of a good, knowledgeable editor who is contributing to WP in good faith, with accurate content and reliable sources, in areas most editors do not, then this is
582:
1. When an editor does not know WP policy, it is understandable. I personally take time to correct their behavior assuming good faith, sometimes add a reliable source when I know their information is accurate, and, at times, I leave them a friendly message guiding them when I know how
559:
2. It is my opinion that the biggest problem in
Knowledge (XXG) are anti-social editors who, through their impatience and "selective" violations of Knowledge (XXG)'s core principles drive good editors away, and rob them from any joy and incentive to "volunteer" their time and
651:
It is widely known that the only way to restrain a bully is to stand up to them. It takes courage!... However, after they flex their internet muscles and throw their tantrums in front of a computer screen, they realize that they have no option but to learn how to act like a

4. You are not allowed to misinterpret the intent of another editor or misrepresent other editors. You are also not allowed to threaten editors with "admins you know" or threaten to have them blocked for misinterpreting their intentions or for disagreeing with
700:
Respectfully pointing out to another editor that they do not have sufficient knowledge about the subject of an article or their command of the language of the subject is insufficient to challenge your edits should not be taken as an insult.
386:
Utter incompetence plague WP. Impatient reverts of well sourced content and incompetence to do a very simple research make it tedious for "competent" editors to add well sourced content. What adds insult to injury is the 1RR restriction.
433:
In this journey of a thousand miles, my words have started to make a difference on WP. Even one of the grumpiest editors has started improving and "welcoming" new editors rather than removing their joy of editing
Knowledge (XXG).
613:
5. Millions of editors edit on WP. I made hundreds of edits. My accurate and well supported edits are seen by hundreds if not thousands of editors. I personally do not willfully nitpick on good, contributing and knowledgeable

is seen as "helpful". It only takes few seconds to "copy and paste" the exact provision in the humongous policy but it makes a world of difference in "human interaction" and "fostering cooperation between editors".
442:
As explained below, according to WP Rules, admins, reviewer, etc... should NEVER EVER engage in bias, ganging up, vendettas, alienation, instigation, defamation, and willful malicious conduct. It is my very strong
656:
not just revert edits in a condescending manner, but instead assume good faith, ask for citations, perhaps add quick missing content, and, if needed, revert an edit with a respectful, non-patronizing explanation.
513:
Do not discourage other editors from enjoying
Knowledge (XXG) and editing articles by making threats to report them, going on a power trip, repeated annoying and unwanted contacts, intimidation or instigation.
555:
1. Knowledge (XXG) desperately, and I mean desperately, needs fresh minds to add content and complete the millions of articles created and are still incomplete. Otherwise, its credibility will continue to
300:. "My mature way" of handling such antics, as an adult, is to simply ignore them and swiftly delete their inappropriate conduct. It appears that "other", more mature admins, are watching "their" behavior.

Knowledge (XXG) culture, when a good admin solves a chronic problem in Knowledge (XXG) by assertively instructing:
