Can you give an example?
Well for an extreme example [[User:SPUI]] is a competent editor.
Unfortunetly people have not learned to ignore the other stuff.
What a load of cobblers! SPUI, nice guy that he is, has a loooong
history of trolling, incivility, casual use of personal attacks,
disruption of Wikipedia, refusal to behave appropriately, and extremely
poor judgement. One incident that sticks in the mind is when he edit
warred over a valid AfD he wanted to "speedy keep" within a few hours of
creation; I *assume* that, in doing so, there was more at stake than
just "upset[ting] the wrong people".
Back in the day deletionist had a very hard time on
WP:RFA although
that does appear to have been replaced by userboxes with certain
voting patterns making people understandably paranoid.
Uh ... ?
