Davenbelle's evidence page re User:Cool Cat (formerly known as User:Coolcat)

Page updated (minor), still far from comprehensive; Davenbelle 07:40, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Unless otherwise stated, all edits are attributable to User:Cool Cat (formerly known as User:Coolcat)

This document is far from complete and does not yet cover much of User:Cool Cat's most egregious conduct. It has been built-up while following various threads of editing and many of the most serious have not been worked through yet. The chronological ordering has some advantages, but a reorganization by subject would clarify the readability of it all.

See: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Pan-Turkism. Article was kept, of course.
In my opinion this article is 99.81% POV and doesn't look salvagible, should either be competely rewriten (which not much would be left) as I opose the article and dispute its factuality. I am a bad cadinadte to do the work myself, I will check the article left and if it is neutral should not bug me. In my opinion this information is a political discussion and wikipedia is not a soapbox for those.

nb:lots of edits of the figure...
Your edit removed significant amount of material (that I added prior). I strongly believe that wasn't your intention. As you reverted the material back before deleting it. :) Fix this whenever you are done playing with pocket knife and blowing things up. :P --Cool Cat| My Talk 15:49, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Has the temerity to add this: "And can you please archive your talk?"

"Coolcat: 'I will be soon reproting your HUNT for coolcat posts'. Good luck! My main reason for checking your 'contributions' in Turkey related articles, is that I consider the vast majority of your edits to be of extremely low quality, and not suitable for an encyclopedia. Another fact is that I consider the majority of your edits in Turkey related articles to be POV"

    • Complains at User talk:Tony Sidaway that "Stereotek and Davenbelle, are still reverting my edits", to which Tony replies: "Well I looked at what you're doing on Kurdistan Workers Party and I'm not surprised. If I were editing that page I'd do the same myself, because you're removing external links for bogus reasons..." && " I don't think you yet fully understand NPOV" (for full reply see diff).
