Archives for this talk page: Archive list (new)

It has been 1985 days since the last squabble.

The chicken coop is for the avoidance, containment and resolution of cases of Headless Chicken Mode (HCM). Despite the name, this tends to be serious business.

This page can be used for reporting cases of administrative abuse (abuse of sysop or moderator abilities such as blocking, page deletion, or user rights management), general abuse (such as trolling, wandalism, and personal attacks), and conflicts which cannot be solved through normal talk page discussion (such as long-standing edit wars or article content disputes). Please be specific and include links to any relevant discussions, page edits or logs.

All editors are welcome to comment on the cases raised here, and to try to reach a consensus on any action to be taken. If no consensus can be reached, and the HCM seems to be escalating, moderators are expected to take some action. However, any serious or permanent solution, such as removal of rights or lengthy ban, requires a community vote here according to the guidelines laid out in our Community Standards.

Please try to resolve conflicts directly through discussion on other editor's talk pages before reporting them. It's better to just talk to someone rather than try to drag their name through the mud.

If the issue is not conflict resolution, but concerns RationalWiki policies, suggested changes to how things work around here, or similar matters of principle, please post on the Community Standards talk page instead.

When presenting a case here, be sure to include whom you are accusing, what exactly you are accusing them of, some hard evidence, and a brief explanation. Since the sole purpose of the Coop is to resolve these disputes, don't post unrelated or more generalized complaints here — if you do, your posts will be moved off the page. Any vote started within 48 hours of filing will be deleted and you will be blocked.

Use {{CoopNotice}} to inform the user in question, so that they have a chance to discuss their actions here.

As a final note, if you think this page is a good tactic to apply in gaming the mob into doing your bidding, you may be shocked to see your post archived quite swiftly.

Jean Lusaz

Hi,

My complaint concerns the user Jean Lusaz, who is adding deliberately false content and misleading claims; I also suspect this is a fake account, a parody of an SJW - possibly owned by Michael Coombs, Emil Kirkegaard or someone from the OpenPsych pseudojournals.

An example of the deliberate false content:

  • Lusaz created the Kathryn Paige Harden article that labels Dr. Paige Harden a "white nationalist". There is no evidence for this, and she obviously isn't (see her Twitter), secondly there is an outright false claim she attended "Richard Spencer's rally protesting the removal of a statue of Confederate general Robert E. Lee". This is a blatant distortion of the source, that shows she attended a Genetics and Human Agency meeting. Lots more problematic descriptions and dubious claims by Lusaz in article.
  • Lusaz created [Robert_Plomin|another article]], labelling a scientist named Robert Plomin who quite clearly isn't a white nationalist, a white nationalist. A sysop here (Jinx) complained on the talk page about this inaccuracy, only to be reverted by Lusaz.

No doubt in a few months whoever really owns this parody account will blog about it showing how easy it is to add dubious content on RationalWiki since things here aren't properly checked... I should point out I'm in no way sympathetic to Harden or Plomin, since they hold some controversial views on eugenics, and seem to hold some pseudoscience views such as about The Bell Curve but obviously not every eugenicist or someone who supports The Bell Curve is a white nationalist. Lusaz' goal is the undermine the credibility of RationalWiki. Like I said, I very strongly suspect this is a racist who is parodying an SJW.Concerned (talk) 23:13, 21 November 2018 (UTC)
