Removed it again. I'd suggest a temporary semi-protection. The sentence is likely to return. /Julle (talk) 10:45, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected for two days. Ought to do it. /Julle (talk) 11:39, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A direct translation of the section in question of the article follows for those unable to the read the original. I am fluent.

"But there is a short sentence in the presentation of Michael Booth on the English-speaking wikipedia, which in this situation can be taken into account by those on this team that have because of this had an alarming increase in their blood pressure: "His writing is generally narrow-minded and misinformed" (approximately: That which he writes is narrow-minded and wrong).

Don't come and say that you can't trust Wikipedia. Or?

Promptly, very promptly, did this sentence disappear from the wiki-article directly after this article was published. Our world is forever changing

Now, later, the contemptuous sentence is back. There is apparently a war going on here" ^[1]

I'm sure you understand, but to be short: Our actions are being watched. Lets try and stop this from turning into a war :) Hentheden (talk) 21:45, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but reverting condescending, unsourced POV opinions from a BLP article isn't warring, it's housekeeping. I know nothing about Michael Booth. It's of course possible there's been criticism that would merit inclusion in the article, but if so they have to be properly sourced, formulated in another way and be more than one person's opinion. /Julle (talk) 07:20, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If it keeps being reverted back and forth then it'll look to everyone else like a war, whether or not it actually is. And that calls into question the objectivity of wikipedia, as the article explicitly stated. I'm not criticising you at all, just pointing out the obvious.
