== WWGB vandalism at article 2016 Hoboken Train ==

{{atop|OP seems unwillingunable or unableunwilling to take inon the idea that BLP applies on talkpages, instead attempting to derail this discussion (see what I did there?) by going off on tangents about "bringing talk pages to publishing standards" and similar. Enough wikilawyering. I'm closing this, and will block the IP, as well as their other IP 67.5.243.74, if they persist in adding BLP vios to talkpages, or in arguing about it further here or elsewhere. Or otherwise wasting the time of constructive editors. Editors are encouraged to remove the engineer's name from the talkpage, too.

Editor WWGB maliciously deleted a comment on the article "2016 Hoboken Train Crash" for a very insufficient reason, claiming it was an "opinionated, unsubstantiated attack on a known person". https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3A2016_Hoboken_train_crash&type=revision&diff=742987869&oldid=742981530 This is not the only example of his bad intent on this Talk page. This, after a report on both NBC and ABC National News (and numerous other Googleable sources) reporting that the Engineer had accelerated the train from 8 mph to 21 mph a mere 38 seconds before the collision, and then set the emergency brake only 1 second before the collusion. Google search: 'Hoboken 38 seconds' for numerous examples of this. If this was a "opinionated, unsubstantiated attack on a known person", then both the NBC and ABC National news articles were the same kind of "attack". Further, this was the TALK page, not the article page. Is it really proper for someone to erase some other's comments on a Talk page, just because he doesn't like them there? Editor WWGB is clearly demonstrating some kind of bias here. [[Special:Contributions/71.222.37.253|71.222.37.253]] ([[User talk:71.222.37.253|talk]]) 03:17, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

: Watch out for those boomerangs. Commenting that it was "deliberate" was likely why they reverted you.
