Removal of substantive content by misrepresenting the source material

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609608270 May 22] "Remove content sourced to non-RS blog per BLP and remove primary sourced statement concerning book. Please find secondary RS for discussion of Molyneux work."

:* Misrepresents source by calling it a "blog" when in fact it is a very popular libertarian site that publishes independent articles. The article in question that he removed cite's Molyneux original article, and so is very relevant as a secondary source.

:* Removes a cited source that points to one of the subjects books, which contains a reprint of the original article. This falls under [[WP:ABOUTSELF]] and [[WP:PSTS]] as "straightforward, descriptive statements of fact" written by the subject about himself in that he cites his own work and expands upon it in book form.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609608591 May 22] "Remove non-RS and primary sourced content concerning speaking engagements. Tag cn"

:: He removes a large number of sourced speaking appearances, and ''in the same edit'' tags the section for "citation needed".

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609616474 May 22] "ce. Remove unsourced statement. Remove easter egg link.Remove SYNTH"

:: Removes a relevant statement and wikilink to [[health care in Canada#Criticisms]]. Cited source is an interview [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zdqp22G_K4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Zdqp22G_K4]. At 00:40 the subject expresses criticisms of the Canadian health care systems as the reason he went to this private surgery center in the US for treatment.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609617253 May 22] "Remove undue content. Unencyclopedic tone and the statements are redundant -- repeated elsewhere in the section." - Removal of background info about acting and playwriting that adds context to other information further down. No reason for it to be removed.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609617476 May 22] "ref" - Duplicates a reference from another section that has no relevance to the place he moved it. Perhaps just careless, but it was never corrected by him later.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609718616 May 22] "ce per sources" - Pure POV edit. Implies that Molyneux work is only on the website, whereas his focus extends across many media - the show, essays, books, speeches, videos, podcasts. He also ruins the intent of "publicly spoken" to indicate someone making a speech on a stage, by weakening the sentence to make it seem like he was a mere participant in a discussion.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609719088 May 22] "ce conform to cited source" - removes a key word "philosophies" using edit summary

:: He misrepresents the source at [http://freedomainradio.com/about http://freedomainradio.com/about] which reads "...my Master's Thesis analyzing the political implications of the philosophies of Immanuel Kant...".

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609720716 May 22] - "ce. Remove non-RS statistical profile of Freedomain. Remove other non-RS statement and replace with Molyneux' "about self" quote, which is RS for his view that Freedomain is most popular in the world."

:* removes highly relevant viewership statistics about the show published by reliable a secondary source.

:* misrepresents the cited sources by re-phrasing it as "Molyneux calls it 'the most popular philosophy site in the world'" when in fact none of the cited sources attribute that phrase to a Molyneux himself. The sources use that phrase (or very similar) independently. Again, this is inappropriate and unsupported, and insertion of the editor's belief and POV.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609722849 May 22] - rephrases sentence with edit summary "conform to Molyneux' statement in cited source"

:: Full source is [http://books.google.com/books?id=x1piNkRJ9rEC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA25#v=onepage&q&f=false here]. SPECIFICO changes the POV by removing the key word "quality" as the reason he takes donations. What the source said: ""I get instant feedback. I know right away if it was good or not based on how many donations come in for that material."

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609732284 May 22] - removes "''[[Divorce Corp]]'' director Joseph Sorge" with edit summary "ce. Move guest list to paragraph which describes Freedomain. Remove non-Notable guest. Remove undue credentials of guests, whose details can be seen in links."

::Yes, the guest was not notable, but the movie is (because we have a page for it and not him). Perfectly adequate for inclusion.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=609737251&oldid=609736966 May 22] - adds "citation needed" tags when the paragraph has ample and obvious citations for TV and radio appearances.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=609875833&oldid=609859955 May 23] - removes the phrase "focusing on the history of philosophy" with edit summary "ce. Remove statement.not contained in cited source"

:: The cited source is at [http://freedomainradio.com/about http://freedomainradio.com/about] which reads in part "earned a graduate degree from the University of Toronto, '''focusing on the history of philosophy'''."

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=next&oldid=609876004 May 23] - Repeats the same removal of [[health care in Canada#Criticisms]] from May 22

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stefan_Molyneux&diff=prev&oldid=609891823 May 23] " ce. Conform to statements in cited sources)" - Yet here SPECIFICO breaks the cited source material up in a careless way and ends up incorrectly stating a timeline that isn't true (how can Molyneux pursue acting ''after'' he got out of the Glendon where he was in theatre?).
