Forum Shopping

As you are obviously here to discuss the 5WPR and Torossian pages, I'd advise you to go to the talk pages of the article and discuss there. You are not allowed to post your same comments on more than one message board, it's called forum shopping, and is disruptive.

This is advice for you, and whoever you work with, and whatever your next identity will be on Misplaced Pages. If you disagree with something on a page, go to that article's talk page and calmly discuss it. What you're doing is disruptive, and all it's accomplishing is making it harder for editors to actually go through those articles and determine what needs to stay and what needs to go. Those articles shouldn't be puff pieces, neither should they only contain negative material. Voice your concerns on the talk page with sources, and let the Misplaced Pages editors hear you, rather than having to defend articles and noticeboards from blatant attempts to edit war and disrupt.

Appreciate your commentary. Not seeking puff pieces simply balance I ask that you review the posted sources and previous editions. --Greenbay1313 (talk) 17:59, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
