EvasiveAction wrote: I recently edited the Nora Morgan page on the Forever wiki, in order to clean it up a little and an admin for the wiki named Janus100 has reversed some parts of the edit I made because "opinions and speculation do not belong on the wiki". The information in question was regarding the character of Nora Morgan, who was the wife of Henry Morgan the main protagonist of Forever. For context; the main storyline of Forever for those who haven't heard/seen it, is that Henry Morgan is an immortal doctor who was originally born in 17th century Britain and became immortal through some unknown process. His immortality is such that he doesn't ever age and whenever he is "killed" he simply disappears and respawns in the nearest body of water. His wife at the time of him gaining this ability was Nora Morgan. He tried to explain his immortality to his wife, who naturally thought he was insane and ended up having him thrown into an asylum. Henry eventually escaped but he abandoned his wife due to her betrayel.

Fifty years later in 1865, an elderly Nora tracks down her husband in his new hosptial job due to recognising an illustration of his face in the newspaper. She now recognises that Henry's claims of being immortal were true and says to him that he should share his "gift" with the world. However, when Henry refuses she disregards his wishes and starts claiming he is immortal to the public. These claims are met with disbelief as the ramblings of a mad old woman and the hospital staff plan on sending her to an insane asylum. Nora then tries to shoot Henry in an effort to make him disappear in front of everyone and thus proving her claims are true. However, she ends up shooting a nurse instead. She is then restrained and taken away by hospital doctors never to be seen again.

So that is the information/background of the situation.

What this admin apparantly had trouble with was a part in the wiki that said "Her ultimate fate was unknown, but Nora was likely taken to an asylum after this event". They referred to this as speculation and thus kept removing it from the page. However, it was not speculation, as that is defined as theorising without strong evidence to back it up. I tried explaining to them that the notion that Nora had been sent to an asylum after the murder of the nurse was backed up by the fact that the doctors had already begun making plans to send her to one before she commited murder, due to the fact that she was talking about things that doctors would naturally consider impossible, as well as the fact that Nora by that time was extremely old and had been diagnosed with hysteria. It was also a fact that mentally ill criminals were thrown into places like Bedlam and Broadmoor back in 18th century Britain and were essentially left to rot.

I also pointed out that this piece of information had been on the wiki page since June 19th 2015. It had been there for five whole years, and in that time Janus100 had edited the page ten times, never once removing what they apprantly considered to be "speculation". I tried explaining that the information was not baseless speculation and did have genuine evidence behind it to them, as well as pointing out the fact that there was genuine speculation on the Forever wiki that had not been removed despite this admins supposed claims of speculation not being allowed, and they just refused to listen at all, instead opting to act like the definition of the word speculation was completely different on the wiki as opposed to how its defined in basically every dictionary and saying that they will "make edit's where they want".

When I asked Janus100exactly why they only just removed this information now as opposed to when they became an admin four years ago and during their ten previous edits to the page, they simply threatened me that I would be blocked if I entered the information in the page again and then proceeded to protect (lock) the page from editing.

They also removed the trivia I put into the wiki that stated that Nora Morgan was selfish as she did not care about revealing her husbands wish about not wanting to reveal he was immortal to the world and tried to force him to do so, despite knowing that Henry had never done anything wrong and that exposing him would mean he would be experimented on/tortured and locked up permanently until the secret of his immortality was discovered. Janus claimed her being selfish was an "opinion" despite the fact that Nora's actions met every definition of the word and then proceeded to try and change the defintion of the word selfish as well.

I believe this admin is abusing their power for the sake of being able to control what goes on in pages and when someone argues back with evidence that proves both the information being put in is valid and the fact that their claims of not allowing speculaton on the wiki is completely false as there was genuine speculation on other pages that had not been removed, they simply locked the page and threatened me with a block.

Is there any way to report this admin and have their power revoked so that they cannot abuse it by blocking out content they simply do not like, as opposed to it being genuinely unhelpful? Staff really dont care what admins do, seriously they let them get away with stuff because it is easier for them.
