Message by Keeley Dann[edit]

Heading added ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:10, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi ToBeFree! I wondered if you could help me again please regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Sinclair

The edit ban has been lifted and once again the page has been edited by someone who seems keen to add defamatory comments.

The following sentence has been added and is in contention:

In 2008, Sinclair was forced out of her public company for "consistent failures to achieve company forecasts and a failure to disclose financial information" and lost her High Court reinstatement fight.[4][5][6]

On the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EnterpriseAlumni , the following has also been added, which is also in contention.

In 2021 an investor group led by co-founder Emma Sinclair, Mike Ettling, CEO of Unit4, Andre De Haas, Partner at Backed VC and John Botts, terminated Mr Sinclair as CEO, replacing him with Emma Sinclair and her fiancé Owen Geddes as COO. The company and individuals are now party to litigation.[3][4]

Reference [4] links to the following which appears to have been created especially to cause defamation

(link removed ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:10, 3 March 2022 (UTC))

I do not wish to simply delete these two sentences as I am sure I will be involved in an edit war with the main perpetrator who appears to be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:BonaFide88

Please can you advise me on what I should do.

Many thanks

Hi Keeley Dann, thanks for asking, and thanks for specifically pointing out the violation of WP:BLPPRIMARY. I hope this has been resolved now; if there is block evasion, please notify me. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:08, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
It is a fact that Sinclair was forced out of her public company in 2008. This is covered by reliable sources including Financial Times. Being forced out of a company that one founded is a notable event and worthy of inclusion. Statements of fact are not defamatory. I encourage you to restore the sentence 'In 2008, Sinclair was forced out of her public company for "consistent failures to achieve company forecasts and a failure to disclose financial information" and lost her High Court reinstatement fight.' or propose a rewording / discuss your rationale on the talk page for Emma Sinclair where no one responded to my section on the content.Dialectric (talk) 17:20, 3 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi Dialectric, I have replied at Talk:Emma Sinclair in parallel. Keeley Dann, you'll probably need to discuss this at Talk:Emma Sinclair or it might be re-added after a lack of discussion. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:25, 3 March 2022 (UTC)

Indef semi-protect request[edit]

Hi, ToBeFree! Could you please indef semi-protect the articles in the 2022 beauty pageant category Link, as well as the newly created Miss Grand Thailand, per WP:GS/PAGEANT? Thank you so much. Thomson Walt (talk) 20:06, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi Thomson Walt, Thanks for asking! I've had a look and:
I hope that helps. If there are other articles that meet the criteria described at WP:GS/PAGEANT, please specifically point them out together with at least one example username or IP address. If there is sockpuppetry that did not yet lead to a block of the socks, please create a report at WP:SPI (or wait for an existing investigation to be closed) before doing so.
Please note that the criterion "edited by a sockpuppet account or logged-out sockpuppet", to my reading, excludes even sockmasters' edits unless their first block was before the edit (cf. WP:BE). WP:GS/PAGEANT is a highly blunt instrument, throwing indefinite semi-protection at everything that has a tiny sock edit in it. Not strictly adhering to its criteria would be severely problematic.
Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:13, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
