Bigfoot

I see you noticed that article has grown into a gigantic mess. A single editor, over the course of thousands of edits, ballooned the article into what it is now which has over 500 refs and a bibliography that dwarfs every other article I've ever seen. It needs immense pruning which honestly is beyond my editing skill. I'm okay with adding things here and there and reffing them but a full tear down and rewrite I think I'd make a mess of. I also kind of feel bad because the user in question put in a ton of GF effort into the expansion no matter how misdirected that effort was. It's massively excessive though. I posted over at FTN as well to try to bring some eyes to it. Point being I'd like to help getting it back to a manageable article. If you're interested I'm going to start on the TP and try come up with a reasonable structure for the article at some point this weekend, don't have much more time tonight.

Thanks for contacting me about this. I agree that we should just completely start over. I think that we need to stick to articles in the area of folkloristics at the risk of falling into the emic rather than remaining in the etic. I'll give it some thought. I'd be glad to start digging up sources with you. :bloodofox: (talk) 06:33, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

3RR on Carl Raschke

WP:3RR is a Bright Line. "Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.". You have been around long enough. Pursue it in talk, please. Edit warring will often lead to a wp:block Jim1138 (talk) 04:35, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is a WP:LIVING page. If we were restricted by WP:3RR on living people pages, we'd have a big mess on our hands. If you want to help out, you are of course welcome to. So far, there's been no attempt to reign in the nonsense going on there. Just take a look at the talk page. :bloodofox: (talk) 04:44, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of that content does not fall under WP:NOT3RR. 3RR is 3RR. Take it to WP:BLPN if you are so concerned. Revert again and you will likely be wp:blocked Jim1138 (talk) 04:53, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
