Disruptive editing defenses
[edit]Edson Makatar, I wanted to write to you directly to let you know that once a clear consensus has formed on an article, Wikipedia is reasonably robust in maintaining that consensus on an article. Contributions from IP editors and new editors get a fair bit of attention. Obviously problematic edits tend to get reverted very quickly. For more subtle problems, it does help if some editors are keeping an eye on the article. I think the Indira Raman article will have a good number of people watchlisting it, if kept. (Indeed, if it is not kept, then if another article is created in the same place then it is likely it will quickly be taken back to a deletion discussion.)
Are you connected with Raman in some way? I notice that you are a new editor, and that all your edits so far have to do with her article. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 11:14, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
- I have no connection to Raman. Thank you for your opinions, but what perhaps caues Raman distress is that isn't exactly hard to find concrete examples that show these opinions are not grounded in the reality of how Wikipedia typically looks after the biographies of these kinds of relatively low profile individuals. Perhaps a proper survey is in order, to conclusively determine how many of these Academy members would be satisfied that their biographies are in good hands?

- If you have concrete examples, then please share them at WP:BLPN. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:30, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
