916528759 2019-09-19T10:37:38Z GPRamirez5 Third party source
916508162 2019-09-19T07:33:18Z Kasidy Yates Subject's own website is not a third party source so deleted it.
916507962 2019-09-19T07:31:51Z Kasidy Yates One source per claim such as working at Real News is sufficient, 2 links are not needed to say he writes for 1 website.
916130276 2019-09-17T05:47:45Z Ser Amantio di Nicolao remove category; in subcat

915758819 2019-09-15T04:41:45Z GPRamirez5 Reverted to revision 914903132 by [[Special:Contributions/GPRamirez5|GPRamirez5]]: Norton doesn't work for Left Forum, or Democracy Now, or St. Martin's Press, or even PublicAffairs. That makes them third party. ([[WP:TW|TW]])
915756965 2019-09-15T04:23:42Z Levivich Nominated for deletion; see [[:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ben Norton]]. ([[WP:TW|TW]])
915750411 2019-09-15T03:28:44Z Kasidy Yates They are not 3rd party links they are links to the subject's own work not about the subject. Previous revision violates rules on excessive self-citation. There are still 15 link in this edit to the subject's work even after deleting 8. Far more links that the Biography of Living Persons policy usually allows.
914903132 2019-09-10T01:38:00Z GPRamirez5 Reverted to revision 914871599 by [[Special:Contributions/Kasidy Yates|Kasidy Yates]] ([[User talk:Kasidy Yates|talk]]): Restoring relevant reliable sources. I thought third-party sources were important? ([[WP:TW|TW]])
914873666 2019-09-09T21:21:28Z Kasidy Yates Deleted multiple links referring to the subject working for Salon & The Real News Network. 1 link should suffice for each. Deleted reference to subject's Twitter and blog as there are already 17 remaining links to the subject's work.
914871599 2019-09-09T21:05:21Z Kasidy Yates Deleted 5 references that refer to 1 podcast. 6 links seems like link spamming. 1 link for the podcast should suffice.

848873357 2018-07-04T23:25:47Z SpiritofIFStone It's not clear that Norton was fired from Salon. The language of the cited tweet makes it sound like he was laid off. Those are two different things, and editors should not jump to conclusions.
847605391 2018-06-26T15:01:24Z SpiritofIFStone Reverted politically motivated edits from Stairway10. This page has been repeatedly inappropriately vandalized by people based on their views on Syria and other political issues. Reprinted blog posts from activist Oz Katerji, a Turkish state media employee, are not a reliable third-party source. And tweets are not reputable third-party sources either. Users must stop politicizing this page.

836291592 2018-04-13T21:18:51Z SpiritofIFStone Removed the Controversy section, which did not cite reliable sources, was not balanced or appropriate given the short length of the article, and reflected the political biases of user Bobfrombrockley. Bobfrombrockley's politically motivated edits, some of which are based on his own personal blog posts, violate Wikipedia's NPOV guideline and ban on original research

829394955 2018-03-08T10:56:11Z Bobfrombrockley Updating - though needs better sourcing
825233385 2018-02-12T06:00:45Z SpiritofIFStone Once again removed unreputable sources—reprinted blog posts from partisan activist Oz Katerji do not meet Wikipedia standards. It is clear from Bobfrombrockley's user page that these edits are politically motivated. This openly violates NPOV standards.
824973748 2018-02-10T18:42:15Z Bobfrombrockley /* Controversy */ Unclear why this is controversies section without citing the controversy
824250582 2018-02-06T05:55:23Z SpiritofIFStone /* Controversy */ More thoroughly clarified his views on Syrian intervention with actual quotes from the cited source, correcting previous unsubstantiated claims that were made that were not included in the citation.
824250401 2018-02-06T05:53:13Z SpiritofIFStone /* Controversy */ The views on Syrian intervention have now been clarified, but the accusations of alleged support still are not included in the citation. Oz Katerji's reprinted blog posts are not a reputable impartial source and have again been removed.
824036017 2018-02-04T23:06:00Z Ignostic199 No problem, I can clarify. Op-eds by Oz Katerji for Haaretz is the only stuff ever written *about* Norton in mainstream publications
823924454 2018-02-04T07:00:38Z SpiritofIFStone /* Controversy */ This section did not include reputable citations. It cited reprinted blog posts from the personal website of Oz Katerji, a partisan activist. It also cited a public statement but the claim of skepticism was not included in this statement
823495068 2018-02-01T16:39:07Z 1.1.166.106 /* Controversy */Oz Katerji being described as "left wing" is not entirely accurate and leads to problematic framing, the sentence is best left as just describe Katerji as a "journalist and activist."
