Testing Mark Z. Jacobson (talk) 14:13, 25 June 2020 (UTC)
I am requesting User:The Banner to be blocked from editing User:Mark Z. Jacobson's biography of a living person due to repeated malicious vandalism and defamation. Defamation is the publication of false factual information with reckless disregard for the truth, which makes it malicious.
Wikipedia's own words are, "This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous."
As seen in the Mark Z. Jacobson: Revision history record, User:The Banner continues to insert false facts and erase correct information from another editor. Specifically, User:The Banner
1) falsely claim that a Court has "ordered that Jacobson pay damages," when no such damages have ever been ordered or awarded, only "Motions for an Award of Attorney's Fees and Costs" have been awarded
2) falsely claim that a Court has "ordered that Jacobson pay legal fees," when no such legal fees have ever been ordered or awarded. Instead, the Court granted "Motions for an Award of Attorneys Fees and Costs,"
which means that such fees and costs need to subsequently be submitted to the Court (because the Motions themselves contain no amounts), and the Court must rule on their validity before any such order can be made. The requests have now been submitted, but no such ruling has been made yet.
3) falsely imply that the Court Order is the final word; however, since the Court Order, as seen in Reference 8, Jacobson has submitted a Motion for Reconsideration of the Order, based on new written admissions by 2 of the 3 main authors of the Clack paper. This Motion for Reconsideration must be decided upon before anything else is decided upon. By failing to mention this, User:The Banner is intentionally misleading readers into thinking the Court Order is the last word:

In addition, User:The Banner continues to promote Reference 7, which is an opinion piece by Robert Bryce of the Manhattan Institute, a fossil-fuel funded think tank, by taking the word "frivolous" from the Bryce article, although the word "frivolous" is never used in the Court Order. Given this is a biography of a living person, all care should be made to avoid trigger words, defamation, and citing authors, such as Bryce, who have a financial conflict of interest in smearing a living person. User:The Banner has a long history of vandalizing the biography of User:Mark Z. Jacobson, so I am requesting that he finally be blocked from continuing to do so.
