Statement of the dispute
[edit]This is a summary written by users who dispute this user's conduct. Users signing other sections ("Response" or "Outside views") should not edit the "Statement of the dispute" section.
Williamo1 has repeatedly inserted his own POV edits into the article Hyper-Calvinism. He has been asked on repeated occassions to discuss any proposed changes on the talk page. He has refused to comply, instead placing unencyclopedic material on the article page to justify his edits.
Description

- Talk:Hyper-Calvinism#Feb 2006 additions
- Talk:Hyper-Calvinism#2nd notice before RFC. Note that the possible RFC mentioned here would have been an article content RFC, not a user RFC. However, rather than agreeing to discuss changes on the talk page or submit to article RFC, the reversions continued without discussion.

- Lbbzman 17:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC). I consider myself to be an impartial outsider who has kept watch of this dispute and reported the original 3RR violation. I have no interest in what the content of the article ends up being, only in preserving a civil tone and adherence to Wikipedia standards.
- JoshuaZ 17:18, 23 March 2006 (UTC) Unfortunately, Williams edit problems are not just on the Hyper-Calvinism page, but on a number of related pages as well. See the talk page of this RfC for more details. (William has just made his standard POV edit to Hyper-Calvinism again. JoshuaZ 22:40, 26 March 2006 (UTC)) Also, an added note, it appears that William's recently deleted autobiograpical article was remade by a sockpuppet/meatpuppet Jugementonyou (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log).

Outside view by Witty lama

I've been following Williamo1 since he began Citywide Church and have tried to resolve the dispute there, by I've not had anything to do with the hyper calvanism discussion. However, Citywide Church suffers from the same editing strategy by Williamo1 as hyper calvanism.
He consistently places POV edits that are similar (if not exactly the same) to previously removed sections of text. He also has never responded to any warnings or requests from other users on any of the relevant talk pages. Furthermore, he never leaves an edit summary to justify his edits. Good faith has been assumed many times but there is no reciprocating good faith from Williamo1. I believe a similar story has been unfolding at Roy Gordon Lawrence - however he has left an (unsigned) message there defending his edits.
I suggest that, if possible, Williamo1's entire edit history be taken into consideration as all of the pages Williamo1 edits are closely related and he is CLEARLY personally involved in the issue. Rob believes that Williamo1 is a pastor at Citywide Church and has left a message on the talk page to that effect.
Thankyou, Witty lama 02:15, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

- --Rob 04:49, 24 March 2006 (UTC) Agree. On a side note, he identified himself as William Oosterman, who, until recently, was pastor of Citywide Church. So, there's no dispute about that. To his credit (sort of), he's never hid who he is, what he beleives, or what he's trying to accomplish. I'm signing here, because I'm not familiar with "hyper calvanism", but am too familiar with what Witty lama has discussed.
