Statement by Kaalakaa

Anachronist, as an admin, seems to have some chronic issues with understanding our policies and guidelines.

Previously, on 3 August 2023 [1], Anachronist, citing WP:BLUESKY, claimed that you don't need to cite sources for content based on your own observations in a museum [2]. His arguments were refuted by Cullen328 [3] and Jayron32 [4]. Jayron32 particularly told Anachronist, "Please stop confusing the new users here, and if you can't speak knowledgeably on this stuff, please stop." [5]

On 3 September 2033, Anachronist reverted my edit with an edit summary "This has nothing to do with censorship, but with WP:BURDEN" [6]. So I opened a discussion and provided him with a quote from the source, but Anachronist said, "I am not arguing that the statement was unsourced. I am saying that for a biography, we don't need to put undue emphasis on analysis of statements of faith." [7] This reply of his, in my opinion, has no relevancy with WP:BURDEN, and displays his misunderstanding of the policy.

In November 2023, on his talk page, Anachronist was involved in an argument with AndytheGrump about a book published by University Press [8]. AndytheGrump appeared to be planning to take Anachronist to ArbCom to request that he be desysopped, stating: "you seem so clearly intent on misinterpreting multiple policies in order to exclude a legitimate academic source from a contentious article on entirely spurious grounds." At the end of the section, Anachronist said, "I'm going to sleep now. A dispute over content should be continued on the article talk page. I'll look for it tomorrow." However, Anachronist did not reply again on that article's talk page [9].

On 26 February 2024, the arbitrators pointed out that Anachronist's understanding of WP:ARBECR was incorrect. [10].

Recently, Anachronist used this essay to support his arguments [11] [12], but it turns out the essay was written only by himself. It contains many extraordinary claims about university presses, but many of them are not supported by reliable sources. The essay also seems to contradict our WP:OR policy, which states that "books published by university presses" are among "the most reliable sources." Within the essay, he also describes Russ Rodgers, a command historian of the US Army and former adjunct professor of history, as a hobbyist historian.
