Line 520: ::: are not by the wildest stretch of the imagination statements that are "an immense scandal" or that would "ruin their reputations." The IP-hopping user, having been blocked from edit warring on the page, is [[WP:FORUMSHOPPING]], having the misguided opinion that "BLP" is a magic word that allows you to have your way in any content dispute. By my count five editors, two of them administrators, have rejected the claims of a BLP violation, and zero editors has supported the IP-hopping user on this. :::Whether reliable sources confirm those individuals actually said that is a legitimate question, and belongs on the reliable sources noticeboard, where it is already being discussed. . There is no BLP violation here and thus nothing for this noticeboard to address. --[[User:Guy Macon|Guy Macon]] ([[User talk:Guy Macon|talk]]) 23:26, 14 February 2014 (UTC) ::::I am not forum shopping. I did not even bring the matter before the reliable sources notice board. What I brought up is outside the scope of reliable sourcing. There are multiple issues affecting the inclusion of the material. I have maintained from the very beginning of the discussion that the primary issue was bringing the integrity of two people into question without a factual basis for doing so. All I'm requesting is a temporary removal of the contentious content while we discuss it. Since the RS issue is already underway, once we reach a consensus about the quality of the source, I'll then look for consensus here about using a source of that quality on Wikipedia to implicate people. ::::This material has been erroneously cited and hyperlinked to [[The Washington Post]] newspaper, when in fact it is the publisher of the source, which is The Switch. The web citation documentation states: :::::Name of publisher; may be wikilinked if relevant. The [[publisher]] is the company that publishes the work being cited. Do not use the '''publisher''' parameter for the name of a work (e.g., a book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, website). Not normally used for periodicals. Corporate designations such as "Ltd", "Inc" or "GmbH" are not usually included. Omit where the publisher's name is substantially the same as the name of the work (for example, The New York Times Co. publishes ''The New York Times newspaper'', so there is no reason to name the publisher). ::::It's important that it not be wikilinked to the newspaper, as this material did not appear in it. The relevant Wikipedia article is [[Graham Holdings Company]], but it's probably not relevant enough to wikilink. I fear that some other "reliable source" will say something to the effect of, "Even Wikipedia editors pointed to a Washington Post article which said, ''insert egregiously out of context misquote here.''" ::::Guy Macon, as for your often repeated efforts to talk about "what happened", again, your facts are distorted. I would appreciate it if you let me give my own opinions rather than reading your interpretation of them. (Oh the irony, considering the content in question.) Only you and another editor have said contested the BLP issue.
