Discuss Jane Shin
[edit]Hello & Welcome to wikipedia. You have identified some concerns with MLA Jane Shin's bio, including some based on a direct conversation with the subject. Rather than make several changes that may not meet editorial requirements, please raise the topics of concern and discuss with other editors on the article's Talk page Talk:Jane Shin. Canuckle (talk) 23:28, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
Assume Good Faith + No Legal Threats
[edit]I suggested that if you have questions or concerns about the content of Jane Shin that you raise them (respectfully) on the article's Talk page Talk:Jane Shin so that editors could discuss how to best improve the article. Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia. If you are a sincere contributor, you should follow that advice rather than repeatedly accuse other editors of negative or partisan biases for rather routine edits.
Assuming good faith WP:GOODFAITH is a fundamental principle of Wikipedia.
Your threats of legal action are also against Wikipedia policy: Wikipedia:LEGAL. This could lead to you being blocked from editing. Also, since your allegations are false and unsupported, your accusations of libellous behaviour is actually slanderous themselves.
You may disagree with neutral and critical editing but you should not confuse those with partisan, negative or libellous edits. Her bio was a meagre 2 sentences until I authored the content that described Jane Shin as a medical doctor, her being 1st Korean-Canadian BC MLA, her childhood illness, a direct quote of her legislature speech about her parents. It is nonsensical for you to describe those as negative and libellous.
Canuckle (talk) 04:58, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- Canuckle is correct, you can in fact be editblocked for making legal threats against another Wikipedia editor. Speaking as an administrator, this is your only warning — you will be blocked if I ever hear another instance of you threatening legal action against anybody.
- If you have concerns about the accuracy of Jane Shin's article, you may raise them for discussion at Talk:Jane Shin, so that we know what you're actually taking issue with and can properly evaluate what's correct and what isn't. However, you may not simply assert that people are making false or defamatory edits without actually providing any substantive proof of that.
- Feel free to discuss your concerns as I've suggested. But stop flinging around unsubstantiated allegations, and don't you dare make another legal threat against anybody. Bearcat (talk) 17:26, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
I did not make any legal threats to Canuckle. In fact, I merely referred to reiterating Canadian law in the rights of the subject (defamed/libeled) and the remedies available to the subject. Blocking one's rights to legal remedy, should they be legal, is tantamount to obstruction of justice and interference (and is illegal by Canadian law). Again, I made no threats. The language and content used by Canuckle in my edits and the refusal to admit new entries surmounted to a consistent negative bias towards Jane Shin. I have no intent to dispute facts that are not true but fairly represent all facts, positive and negative in a fair manner.Alleongto (talk) 17:40, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
- Firstly, even using veiled allusions to the possibility of legal action still counts as a "legal threat", as does posting the entire text of the law that a Wikipedia editor is alleged, but still has not been adequately proven, to have broken. You still are not properly substantiating your claims that Canuckle has libelled Ms. Shin at all — which you do by actually pointing out the specific wording that you're taking issue with, not by repeatedly asserting that he's committing libel without providing any actual evidence of that. Just as an example, you keep asserting that he's misrepresented her educational credentials — but you have yet to provide a single actual example of how he's "misrepresented" her educational credentials. (And, for the record, I've never known Canuckle to be the kind of editor who commits libel or NPOV violations on here; I've always known him to be quite fair and neutral.)
- And, as I pointed out, you need to make your case on the article's talk page — posting the entire text of the Criminal Code to my personal talk page is not within your range of options here.
- So, one more time: you need to provide specific and detailed examples of the exact problems you have with the article's text, on the article's talk page — you may not simply assert that it's biased or libellous without providing actual proof of how it is so. And you need to stop making any reference at all to legal remedies — since any problems with the article would be quite easily fixed if you were actually clear and explicit about what the problems actually are, you're not even allowed to imply, let alone directly assert, that anyone might take the matter to court. Bearcat (talk) 18:19, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
- I raise these issues:
1. inclusion of expenses spent and dismissal by Canuck of the funds "raised" by both parties
2. leukemia is an error in reporting and a misdiagnosis by the doctor that needs to be corrected, this has not been corrected and media reporting is erroneous. (She did not have Leukemia)--my attempt to remove this factual error was rejected and dismissed by Canuckle.
3. her internship rotation was concluded in the UK, however the language used paints that she did not complete her degree, this is incorrect. she is not licensed to practice in Canada and that has not been a bone of contention. Ms. Shin's Doctor title remains legal and valid, but there is no correction from the insinuation and negativity caused by the media reporting of any intent for Ms Shin to misrepresent herself. She did not. Canuckle has a bias for uncorrected media reporting that does not have any follow-up reports or corrections on the matter. Ms. Shin has done nothing wrong in intent or in procedure. Canuckle is using language that appears to continue to be biased in favouring published media reports that may be uncorrected.
4. I am not harmed, I am not the subject of this article. I do not provide veiled threats. There is no need. I have not been wronged.
5. Ms. shin has legal rights if there is misrepresentation in tone, style or context of the information given. That is her legal right. Her rights cannot be diminished. there is a separation between the editor and the subject of this wiki page.Alleongto (talk) 18:56, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
- What part of article's talk page did you have trouble understanding? If you post anything about this matter to my talk page again I'm just going to remove it. The correct place for discussion of any issues with the content of the article is Talk:Jane Shin — not my personal talk page, not your personal talk page and not Canuckle's personal talk page, but the article's talk page. Bearcat (talk) 19:20, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
And also, just for the record, interviews that you personally conducted with the article subject in private do not count as valid sources for our articles, if you haven't published those interviews in a book or newspaper or magazine so that we can properly verify the content of those interviews. Even if you have personal knowledge that an existing source got one or more things wrong, changes to our article still have to be properly sourced to either (a) a correction in that original source, or (b) another reliable source which publishes the corrected or updated information instead of the wrong stuff, because we cannot privilege unsourced claims of inside knowledge by an anonymous editor over what the actual published sources say. If those sources got it wrong, you need to take it up with them and get them to correct their errors, so that we have a verifiable source to correct our article with — but until we have a properly verifiable source for the updated or corrected information, you don't get to attack us for what they said about her. We have actually had many cases in the past where people have claimed to be acting on the article subject's behalf by insisting that the published sources were wrong and replacing it with unsourced assertions of inside knowledge, when in reality they were the ones trying to consciously misrepresent or libel the subject by replacing correct information with lies, and it was their updates that got us into the article subject's line of fire rather than the original content. And I once even had to arbitrate a case where two different people both claimed to be acting on the article subject's behalf while introducing unsourced claims that contradicted each other. So like it or not, we cannot trust unsourced assertions if they aren't backed up by published and verifiable sources — even if the information in the article is wrong, the correction still has to be properly sourced. Bearcat (talk) 19:43, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
- Just as an update, I have reviewed the article with an eye to your concerns. I agree that her campaign spending isn't worthy of note at all. If there were allegations of fundraising or spending impropriety, then that would be worthy of mention — but if all that happens is that she spends more than another candidate within legal fundraising and spending limits, then that's not particularly worthy of note in an encyclopedia. And based on what the sources actually say about her childhood illness, I can accept your contention that the leukemia was an early misdiagnosis. I'm still not sure what your issue is about her educational credentials, however — you still need to explain, clearly and with real examples, what's actually wrong with them as written. Bearcat (talk) 20:51, 13 July 2014 (UTC)
Bearcat, thank you for your edits. There are no further disputes with her education to the point that it is now. I have corrected some improper grammar use. All is well. Thanks again.Alleongto (talk) 22:27, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
Conflict of Interest
[edit]- It is important to note that you have been making edits on behalf of Jane Shin. HummingbirdShimmer (talk) 17:30, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- If you haven't seen it already, I've addressed your concerns regarding my editing on my talk page. HummingbirdShimmer (talk) 17:42, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- Conflict of interest guidelines require that I am employed by Shin. I am not. I am acting as a citizen and a volunteer. When I see egregious errors of intent to defame an individual, those corrections in fact must be modified and copy written in a neutral tone. I stand by my neutrality and abide by all conflict of interest rules. Since I am not employed by Shin, therefore, there is no conflict. My facts are based on two interviews I have had with her. Notwithstanding, any accidental bias, conflict of interest also requires a work, political or other bias. I had been registered as an NDP and also as a Conservative, and get emails from Liberals in Ontario. I am technically Canadian and neutral. The editor HummingbirdShimmer is registered green party - self-described and added content. I restate my neutrality in copy editing. I request conversely, that HummingbirdShimmer and Canuckle give evidence of neutrality and editorial integrity as required by Wikipedia and a disclosure of potential conflicts of interest.Alleongto (talk) 19:06, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- I am not registered with the greens or any other party. Where are you getting that from? Did you read my response on my talk page? HummingbirdShimmer (talk) 19:32, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- Alleongto - Including links when referencing policies/guidelines or user's edits is good practice. It permits you and others to check in on the source material. For instance, WP:COI, the Conflict of Interest guidelines, do not "require" your employment by the article subject as you said in this edit: (diff). They also cover your personal interests and external relationships, including friends. When you said you were acting as a "volunteer", my first take was you meant as a volunteer wikipedia editor like the rest of us. If you meant volunteering for a political office or campaign (something I have never done myself), that could be problematic given the one-sided nature of your past edits to one article. "It risks causing public embarrassment to the individuals and groups being promoted" (WP:COI) as shown by this list of incidents: COI incidents on Wikipedia Canuckle (talk) 18:09, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
COI (section copied from other user's talk page)
[edit]Thanks for your concern and pointing out COI.
I am not paid by Jane Shin to edit this page, it is done voluntarily. There is no conflict of interest. My edits have been clear to fairly represent Jane Shin in the material presented by press, correction of inaccuracies in press and subsequent editing by editors who have not contacted the source for information. Reporters may or may have incorrectly reported on specific facts. I have also counted the positive, neutral and negative portrayals in press and this Wikipedia page. It appears that some press are not required to abide by any NPOV guidelines. However, on Wiki, I maintain that in counting the negative vs positive comments, there were substantially more negative items previously reported and republished than positive comments, including, for example, volunteer work.
My task is to provide a realignment to neutrality by adding as many positive facts that had been available to media and editors to ensure fair representation of Ms. Shin. I do this as a Canadian Citizen and BC resident, voluntarily.Alleongto (talk) 19:10, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- I will copy your response to your talk page as your learnings about how to best contribute to wikipedia and your COI response are much more pertinent to your own page than mine. I also request that you post future responses on your talk page so as to not crowd my page with content. Given your past comments supporting accuracy and avoiding defamation, I hope you agree that continuing to post unsupported allegations of bias on my page is not appropriate.

Non-neutral sources
[edit]- Hi, you raised a couple of times that you regard some mainstream media sources as biased and question should they be used as references in a neutral article. Here is some relevant information WP:BIASED from guidelines on identifying reliable sources:
- Wikipedia articles are required to present a neutral point of view. However, reliable sources are not required to be neutral, unbiased, or objective. Sometimes non-neutral sources are the best possible sources for supporting information about the different viewpoints held on a subject. While a source may be biased, it may be reliable in the specific context. When dealing with a potentially biased source, editors should consider whether the source meets the normal requirements for reliable sources, such as editorial control and a reputation for fact-checking
