Essay on editing Wikipedia
You can't squeeze blood from a turnip. – Anonymous
You can't get something out of someone who simply doesn't have it to give.
If a standard remedy exists for an editor who has done something wrong and the editor shows no sign of regretting the mistake, then go ahead and apply the standard remedy.
