Hello, I'm ScrapIronIV. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Sex offender registries in the United States seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Scr★pIron^IV 18:32, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Your "advice" that I shouldn't have reverted a blatant WP:DONTLIKEIT deletion of a well-sourced paragraph, which was done[1] by your collaborator MONGO in mockery of my correcting a single word[2] which he had previously edited into that paragraph[3] to change its meaning (while completely mischaracterizing the source), is taken with all the respect it deserves.

For context, to anyone reading this: ScrapIronIV immediately reinstated[4] that deletion on MONGO's behalf (with the same handwave at "POV" that MONGO gave) and later mistakenly claimed[5] that I had made a "pointed addition" (emphasis added) - clearly indicating that he didn't even know what he was reverting. He literally did so in the space of one minute between other edits, which strongly suggests that the reversion was made at MONGO's request rather than as a considered decision. In the same comment that's diff'ed above, he also claimed the reason it only took him a minute was because he's "quite familiar with the contents of" the article (even though he didn't appear on the last 500 edits before this one), and threatened to "open up a thread on YOU" for making his mistake public[6].

I'll admit the first sentence was literally true but quite sarcastic. I owe no respect to someone who makes a ninja edit in clear violation of the spirit of WP:3RR - then lies about it, threatens to make false accusations and try to get me banned for saying so, and in fact makes[7] those false accusations.

But I probably do owe him a smidgen of thanks for making it painfully obvious. 2001:558:600A:4B:78C0:A7BD:D471:9409 (talk) 11:27, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
