An editor keeps adding our lawsuits to our Wikipedia article and we can’t stop them. What are our options?
Persistent unilateral additions get addressed through Talk-page policy discussion. If the behavior crosses into edit warring or policy violation, escalation to the administrators' noticeboards (ANI, AN/I) is appropriate.
When a single editor keeps adding the same content over the objections of other editors, two parallel paths apply. The content path runs through the Talk page: we open a discussion that identifies the policy concerns with the additions (NPOV imbalance, sourcing weakness, BLP application, undue weight), proposes the policy-compliant treatment, and invites uninvolved editors to weigh in. If the community consensus supports the policy-compliant version, the persistent editor is constrained by that consensus and further unilateral additions can be reverted with reference to it. The conduct path applies when the editor’s behavior crosses into edit warring, policy circumvention, or harassment: it can be escalated to the Administrators’ Incidents noticeboard (ANI), where uninvolved administrators evaluate whether sanctions are warranted. Most of the time the content path is sufficient. The conduct path is the fallback when an editor refuses to engage with the community process at all.
