I write to you asking for assistance in a matter involving a User:Griot repeated edits to the Matt Gonzalez page. For the last three years I've watched this user edit-war with numerous users over the article making repeated edits the information fought over is usually the same with numerous users restoring it or adding it on there own with griot siding for exclusion dispite the fact the information in question is both factual and referenced. The page has been protected before but he just returns as soon as protection ends and "out edits" the other users. These edits are never discussed by Griot on the talk page and the referenced information he removes has been requested several times on the talk page. The Grounds for exclusion are often too much detail but some of this detail is needed to expalin things for people living outside the San Francisco bay area. unfortunatly I don't have an account but that in no way removes the factual nature of the dispute. I have no idea if you can help if not at least Thanks for your time 139.102.16.185 (talk) 06:36, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why you picked me to help, but I'm taking a look at the page. Frankly, I have to agree with Griot. The information being added is excessively focused on the election, something that is not really an encyclopedic detail. It places too narrow a focus on the election politics, when this is supposed to be an article about Mr. Gonzalez himself. Please read WP:BIO. This is an article about the man, not minutia about a specific election. If you feel these details are relevant and stand on their own merit, then by all means create a separate article on the election itself. As it stands, these details are irrelevant to the article in question. -- Kesh (talk) 18:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
