Rachel Marsden: The Fundamental Schizophrenia of BLP Options

[gomi]

I am amused and befuddled by the current ArbCom case re Rachel Marsden. The ArbCom has come down with a bunch of tough-minded words about BLPs.

On the one hand, I can see that the article would be embarassing and damaging to Marsden, resurfacing a 10-year-old false date-rape case and more recent criminal harassment charges. Marsden has apparently complained in person to Wales about this. While not finding any material unsourced, the ArbCom case says that the article is "too negative" and anyone can essentially blank it. Does this apply to Brandts article? To all BLPs?

On the other hand, the statements in this article, while negative, were well-sourced, and all the information remains in the article history.

Finally, and perhaps most bizarrely, SlimVirgin is the one who has stubbed and full-protected the page -- she isn't ArbCom and has not thus far been involved.

I guess it was this type of thing JzG was ordered to do by Wales.

JzG plays down an unsavory allegation made by Marsden against a Canadian official, which was later shown to be false.

JzG, in his typically snake-like role, removed a citation and narrative that cleared the officer.

...The OPP's criminal investigations branch recently cleared the officer of any wrongdoing...

We wouldn't want the sum of all knowledge that doesn't make Jimbo or his mistress look bad to have any citations that exonerate a victim of Jimbo's cyber-lover, now would we?

WAY TO GO, GUY CHAPMAN! Protect your "friend" with selective editing of other people's hard work. You are an asset to the Wikipedia Review, JzG.

P.S. You're not allowed to ask Jimbo about it. Way to go, Squeaker.
