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.
