If we are going to simplify it, then:īuzzFeed traced the start of the conspiracy theory to Sean Adl-Tabatabai (a former associate of professional conspiracy theorist David Icke), who cited previously unrelated posts from a conspiracy theory forum, 4chan, and a Tweet written by an alt-right account as supposed evidence that emails found on Anthony Weiner's laptop purportedly revealed the existence of a pedophilia ring. Beatley ( talk) 14:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Īdl-Tabatabai was not the conspiracy theory forum poster, he was the conspiracy theorist who cited the conspiracy theory forum post (in addition to the Tweet and the 4chan post). coverage in BBC shootup in NYT snopes local coverage it is not one event, and there are lots of reliable sources, although it may be a honey pot for conspirators. Ian.thomson ( talk) 10:01, 30 November 2016 (UTC) need to move it now. I have not yet moved this into article space because of concerns over WP:EFFECT as well as waiting for more admin support. Had someone else fixed the draft before me (leaving me undeniably uninvolved), and had he been notified about discretionary sanctions relating to post-1932 American politics, I would have personally topic banned him. Without combing through every single edit after his, I get the impression that most other users didn't exacerbate the BLP violations he posted, but still failed to address them. contribs)'s original version was topic-ban worthy, if not block worthy.I've removed material that I couldn't see a source for, and made it clear that (per sources) this is a conspiracy theory with no evidence coming from some doubtful sources. I originally set out to just remove the BLP violations and revdel those, but in the process of doing so it became necessary to overhaul the article.
