The Surreal Barnstar |
| For being targeted by a group that organized off-Wiki in order to subvert NPOV. Of course, you also deserve an Original Barnstar for your solid editing efforts as well, but that will have to wait. |

On teh Internetz
I have been looking at the Inayat Bunglawala entry on Wikipedia and there is a new Wikipedia editor name "tarc" - who clearly is a Muslim and have strong anti-west, anti Israel, pro-Hezbollah views. "Tarc" has been defending Inayat Bunglawala fiercely on wikipedia.
The Bill Ayers section was deleted with the following note: "More POV junk edits" by user Tarc...
“It is overwhelmingly clear,” wrote one Wikipedia user called Tarc, “that this person’s notoriety is only based upon a single event, and the guidelines for handling such cases are crystal-clear. Not a single one of the ‘keep’ votes legitimately addresses this point, and thus should be disregarded in the final considerations.” Tarc’s comment, whose combative tone is par for the course, draws on the conservative ideology and points to a Wikipedia standard to ground his argument.

My track record
Since at WP:ANI recently an administrator decided to pull the "OMG YOU MUST USE WP:BEFORE! WP:BEFORE WP:BEFORE WP:BEFORE IS TEH GOSPEL!" shtick and slag my AfD nominations in the process, I decided to take a look myself, and as of 1-26-11, I stand at a roughly 33%. Given the institutionalized keep-everything mentality that still pervades the Wikipedia these days, I find that to be a pretty good run. A sizable chunk of the fails came after the hissy fit that some threw in the week preceding the 2010 elections, several of which may be ripe for a re-review now that some time has past. There are a few from the I-P topic area which ran aground against a solid pro-Israeli bloc, but I have little desire to wade back into that flaming cesspool.
The worst keep rationales ever seen
(No direct links will be provided, you'll just have to trust me.
- "She has a blog"
- "Wikipedia should keep this article. Especially since it is beginning to have the reputation for being biases in respects to Barak Obama (failure to link articles about Rev. Wright (until recently), Bill Ayers, and Saul Alinksy"
- "Only someone who hasn't actually read the article would claim that the subject is not notable"
- "Any NPOV and/or SYNTH issues should be dealt with on the talk page, not by deleting the article"
Irony
To Do (gasp!)
Though I do have an image to uphold as a dick who only deletes and rarely creates, there's some stuff that needs some work.
