So, Lady Sybilla accused me of bias in her now deleted Twitter. She asked
purplepoppleto make me "refrain from editing" because I'm "quite close with FW" and my "edits are extremely biased".
Now, I'm usually "the diplomat" at Fan History. I don't have much (if any) wank to my name, and some have called me a "class act" in the past. IF I am biased one way or the other, it's usually based on how someone acts towards me/my friends/my family, etc.
Lady Sybilla's crazy actions have EARNED my bias.
I'm putting her on notice that, not only will I not "refrain" from editing the articles about her and her imaginary, illegal piece of second-rate fanfic, I will edit said articles boldly--and if she thinks I'm biased now, she ain't seen nothing yet.

You're our sane person. I know I keep telling you this all over chat but we could not have gotten through the past year with out you. You've helped craft our policy, helped us error on the side of caution when trying to behave ethically, handled 95% of our deletion requests, made it so that Sidewinder and I don't have to deal with abusive users, etc. You talk staff down from our own base instincts, which is why our unofficial official policy has been "Run it past Tikatu." I guess that does make you the diplomat. :) We love you for everything you do in helping us be better.

You've handled her crazy better than can be expected. [I mostly tried to stay away from it. (Er. Twitter aside.) One point of contact for her craziness seemed best.] Even the edits you've made I've felt have been relatively unbiased all things considered. If I thought you weren't, I would tell you. If I thought it was questionable, I would e-mail one of our non-staff second opinioners via e-mail or on IM to check.
Her pointing out your actions in regards to informing Caito? Not biased. We'd been in contact with Caito (We being you and Sidewinder) since she made her asinine accusations that Sidewinder was Caito. We needed to share information with Caito so she could be informed since Caito was reporting on the situation and we'd unintentionally become part of the problem. I'd rather Caito have not posted the most recent round because we're at the point where we do quite well traffic wise and don't want to be featured on fandom_wank. If we had a choice, I think our staff would pretty much agree that we'd rather have had LS on AboutUs, another fandom wiki, Mahalo, Wikia, the big Twilight Wiki... but we didn't get the choice and we rolled with those punches. You did an excellent job at dealing with the situation, patrolling, contributing to the article. I just don't see the bias coming across in your reporting.
LS is just making that accusation to be a drama queen. She clearly doesn't get the politics of f_w, Fan History and other corners of fandom. There are people who would be better at giving her the attention she wants but she failed. *sighs*
And now I'm rambling.
exists. :D I'd think Tikatu would have to have some serious impairment, that she'd be considerate enough to inform us about, in order to be at a place where she could biased in a mean nasty way.
LS is pretty much seeking internet glories at this point and our article is as unbiased as it can get. We even gave her the space to offer her perspective. We couldn't demonstrate our willingness to work with her more than we already had.
