  This is your only warning; if you add defamatory content to Wikipedia again, as you did at OK gesture, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Doug Weller talk 14:53, 13 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I didn't add anything, I reverted the deletion of information that had been in the article without controversy for a long time.

How is it defamatory to document the existence of the accusations? Why the selective edit to eliminate only one instance of this gesture from a long list of living persons?

Even if the material was in the article before, by adding it back in you are responsible for it. And even your last sentence above suggests that Gish really did it. It's the wording that makes it a BLP violation. Doug Weller talk 17:24, 13 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

That's not an accurate characterization of the sentence in question. The wording suggested only that she was accused, which is accurate. I don't understand why that is a BLP violation and none of the other listed examples are at issue. Seems like an inconsistent standard.

If your issue is with the wording, why not work to improve it rather than delete the information entirely? Can you explain how the wording of this example could be changed to be more consistent with BLP? It seems to go further than the other examples to point out the disputed nature of the accusations, so I'm at a loss here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.140.104.97 (talk) 23:13, 14 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
