Here is a quote from HP on
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cimon_avaro
As we have noted, some of the people "correcting" these pages have adopted
blanket reversions on account of a very povie view that fact and fantasy are
two distinct categories, whereas I experience them as an interpenetrating
dialectic unity. i.e. we can only comprehend the world through a skein of
signification which is culturally constructed and which structures
information. This rejection of hardline Cartesian dualism may also be povie,
but then so is anyones contribution. It is the interaction of us as human
beings which creates some sort of consensual reality, so the whole NPOV can
only happen as a consequence of these interactions. This means we are all
liable to experience frissance with people coming from cultures different or
even anti-thetical to our own. OK that's life. Harry Potter.

It is not a matter of "challenging the line between fact and fantasy" as
this would be to assert some sort of legitimacy to such a putative line.
Rather I am suggesting that such a line is a product of a point of view in
motion and that different people see it in different ways. .... I find your
suggestion that I should exclude myself from this project because I do not
have a naive realist viewpoint hardly helpful. Harry Potter

Has anyone talked to him about the inaccuracies?
This may just be a
misunderstanding. At the least, someone should tell him that he has
added inaccuracies to his article, and then put the boiler from
[[Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute]] on his contributions. Tell him why we
are doing it, and give him a chance to correct his errors and become a
contributor. This is the process we should go through.

I agree. It sows an atmosphere of distrust, which, going by the
pataphysics manifesto, is the goal. It's a waste of my time to research
things and add them to an article if the rest of the article is fiction
masquerading as fact; no reader is going to believe any of it.
[[Templars in England]] looks plausible for instance, but given Harry
Potter's other activities, how am I supposed to know if any of it is
true? Better to vaporize it and start over.
