Question about qualifications of Online Ambassadors
Hello,
I've posted this multiple places but it appears there is no procedure to address this problem. I've posted this multiple places but received no satisfactory reply. I reviewed a good article nomination by one of your Online Ambassadors who is on the Online Ambassadors Steering Committee. The article failed because the ambassador didn't understand what copyvio/plagiarism/close paraphrasing was and became argumentative. See Talk:Douglas W. Owsley/GA1. The ambassador attacked me for my review. Now a second review has failed the article for the same reasons. See Talk:Douglas W. Owsley/GA2. This Online Ambassador does not understand how to write an article without misusing sources. Please address this issue. Thanks, MathewTownsend (talk) 21:28, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- Can I request a response from the steering committee on this? This person has made a complaint which merits a response. Would the steering committee like to address this complaint? If not, who should we ask? Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- Given that a Steering Committee member directed Mathew here, I think it's safe to assume they are willing to look into it. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 23:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks Ed - you are right, if Mathew does not wish to follow the formal recall process that has been pointed out a few times; I need to focus on making sure it doesn't happen again, instead of just applying a band-aid and forgetting about it. Epistemophiliac (talk) 01:22, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- Wait, by coming here, I thought Matthew wanted to follow the recall process. This is the talk page for the full committee, after all, so I'd think this would fulfill the first step. Or am I wrong, Matthew? Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 06:00, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
- To avoid replicating conversations, lets keep this all on the Recall Process page then. Epistemophiliac (talk) 17:13, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
