You've been busy, haven't you? ;)

There doesn't appear to be any robust method for addressing POV advocacy cases through dispute resolution, as it entails looking at content. Similarly, even after an arbitrator said that COI cases should be taken to COIN, the request was booted right back to ANI, where it cannot be addressed. This is quite discouraging. I will try again when I have a bit of time, even though this is starting to seem like a huge waste of time to do anything to correct what is blatantly advocacy. Even though many people are aware that there is a serious problem on the topic, almost nothing has been done to correct. It is very curious that ensuring that the presentation of accurate content which reflects reliable sources seems to be less valued than (some) editor behavior by many here—odd for an encyclopedia. • Astynax 00:25, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
