Revision as of 20:40, 14 October 2009
Re: Adoption
Feel free to ask questions on my talkpage, and I'll try to answer them when I get around my computer. For me, adoption doesn't need to be really that formal, so I'm quite flexible in terms of how to assist. I'm currently on medical leave, so I may not be able to respond as quickly, hopefully that is okay with you. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 10:05, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- You're actually right, we usually don't have latest news section in a biography article. Usually it would be combined together with the overall biography, and it is the result of some recent coverage. And sources have to be reliable lest it violates biographies of living persons policy, where poorly-sourced material demands its immediate removal. You should indicate BLP in the edit summary when removing, and have it discussed on the talk page why or how the sources should be improved (i.e. are there other sources relating to this issue?). If you feel that the other party reverting for this info to stay is violating BLP, try getting attention on the BLP noticeboard and hopefully more editors will look into it. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 09:52, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
- For awards, it would be good if it is backed by sources, but editors don't usually insist on their removal unless they feel that there are controversies surrounding the person. - Mailer Diablo 09:53, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
- Sorry for the late reply. Well you're right, I don't really think "major asterisk" would improve my understanding in the band either and it sounds like a peacock term. Unless it's an actual citation from a verifiable source, it should be shortened to just disbanded. And yes, there are times where the media are lazy enough to Wikipedia as the bulk of the information, even though they should be doing most of the primary research on their own. - Cheers, Mailer Diablo 12:53, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
