User talk:PraeceptorIP: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia

Line 273:

:: Please do read [[WP:SELFCITE]]; please also see this recent discussion on the Talk page of our COI guideline about that section, and please note the stance I took there vis a vis others - I am a moderate on the issue of editors who cite their own work: [[Wikipedia_talk:Conflict_of_interest/Archive_20#Citing_yourself]].

::Somewhat separately, as I have written to you before Praceptor we love [[WP:EXPERT]]s but only when they use their expertise to make articles ''more'' NPOV and better sourced - not when they use Wikipedia to promote their own views (making WP less NPOV) nor when they add [[WP:OR]] to Wikipedia. Both of those are tempting, but both are abuses of editing privileges. We topic ban people who continually abuse their editing privileges - please avoid those temptations. It is never a happy thing to topic ban people. Thanks. [[User:Jytdog|Jytdog]] ([[User talk:Jytdog|talk]]) 13:26, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

:::I would suggest that you might want to read it again. Praeceptor did not cite to his own published work, he cited to a case opinion by SCOTUS. Since he did not cite to something that he wrote or published, [[WP:SELFCITE]] is not applicable. Second, being involved in a [[WP:CTDAPE|campaign to drive away productive editors]] is discouraged by policy. I would recommend that you be careful, lest your campaign on GMOs and your advocacy cause a [[WP:BOOMARANG]]. Praeceptor's edits were factual and NPOV, and did not involve [[WP:OR]]. <span style="border:1px solid #900;padding:2px;background:#fffff4">[[User:GregJackP|<span style="color:#900;font-size:110%;font-family:Mistral">GregJackP</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:GregJackP|<span style="color:#900;font-size:60%">Boomer!</span>]]</span> 18:07, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
