Dates of Eggs

Over the last couple of days an editor (editing under both an IP and username) has repeatedly changed the dates attributed to some of the eggs. The fact that there is discussion over the dates of some of the eggs is included both here on the other pages and is backed up with references.
The proposed dates are only theories and are not universally accepted, however the user is attempting to present them as universally accepted fact. The source he uses to back up his changes even says "Not all Faberge scholars agree with my theory". As I pointed this out to him he has said he will get that website changed. This suggests a COI and also means the "Mieks" Fabergé Eggs website is self-published and can not be considered a reliable source.
As this seemed to be someone new to wikipedia, not familiar with policies regarding neutral point of view etc. etc., I initially was quite gentle. However the editing is increasingly becoming disruptive. The repeated removal of large sections of referenced material, the non neutral presentation of disputed theory as universally accepted fact, the inclusion of unattributed directly copy and pasted material in violation of copyright and now attempts to change an external source in order to back up their claims, are all unacceptable. Its vandalism.

I have contacted the user yet again to warn them about such disruptive editing. Any further attempt to vandalise and disrupt the page should be dealt with severely.

Outdated

The third imperial egg, ie., the true 1887 egg was recently found. Please update the article to reflect this fact. --rtc (talk) 08:29, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
