== Citation Needed/BLP Sources Edits ==

Hi there! I wanted to reach out and check about many of your recent edits. For many you have the Edit Summary reason as needing more reliable sources, many of these I can fix by finding valid sources and was about to do. However it appears that the actual reason you're deleting much of the content is as you state on ], "There is a general consensus over the years not to mention trivial arrests, unless they impact significantly on the subject's career. This should be obvious; Misplaced Pages is not (meant to be) a tabloid (although in actuality it is very often far worse) nor is it meant to be a repository for every single event in a person's life ... I am glad to see that you accept the need for a reduction of the information contained within in the Personal life section. Such sections should be removed altogether if you ask me." If this is actually the reason for your content deletion could you please put that as the Edit Summary so I know finding valid sources that aren't daily mail and re-adding it is not desired? I think using the proper ] shorthand would be a great help in this way and make it easier for people to understand reasoning. Several shorthands that I think would work for you to cite depending on the article would be ] if a valid source is actually desired, or things like ], ], and ]. Although it is good to keep in mind ] which states, "If an allegation or incident is noteworthy, relevant, and well documented, it belongs in the article—even if it is negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it." Sorry if this went on a bit long, I think this will go a long way to helping people understand your edits as well as being able to signal easily if something just needs a better source or if the content does not belong there. Thanks! ] (]) 15:25, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks.<!-- Template:uw-delete1 --> - <span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS">] <small>(])</small></span> 01:28, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

== Your mass deletions ==

Your mass deletions at articles like ], ], ] and ] are disruptive. Some of the content should perhaps be cut, but you should give editors a chance to assess these matters, especially when it's ]s or ]s involved, and especially when it's just an issue of trimming things and/or rewording things. Quotes can be summarized, for example. I am well aware that you cut things that you consider trivial or fluff, but Misplaced Pages editing is not supposed to be based on ]. I see that you got into involving ], ], ] and ] at the ] article. If it wasn't clear from that dispute, you need to take into consideration whether or not some of the things you are removing are things that the subject is known for, or are things that have significantly impacted the subject and/or others.

I would rather discuss what should or should not be deleted rather than edit war. And I would rather not have to escalate your "mass deletion" behavior to ]. ] (]) 01:35, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

:Hi ]. Editors ''do'' have a chance to assess these matters, and if things are thought worth including I'm happy to listen and quite happy to admit I might be wrong. But I think I can justify every edit made to these biographies. Can you justify your recent additions, which on top of mountains of unimportant, irrelevant garbage, have reintroduced clear BLP violations and highly questionable sources. The trouble is, most decent folk here are too scared of making ] cuts, and too many articles are guarded by their creators, who are loathe to see anything go, often in the mistaken belief that because there is a star on the page it must be fine. Some of these bios got their "GA" status nearly a decade ago and haven't been reassesed since. The whole concept of FA/GA is basically meaningless, and it's rather embarrassing having to use the terms in an argument, but if these articles are the best Misplaced Pages has to offer, or are seen as models for other bios, then we should all be ashamed.
:Please feel free to take it to whichever of the dramah boards you think necessary. --] (]) 02:13, 19 August 2017 (UTC)

::If you were willing to discuss, you would not be mass deleting non-BLP violating content without first addressing the matter on article talk pages and discussing it. You would not be edit warring all over the place.

::And what WP:BLP violations are you talking about? We both know that your idea of WP:BLP violations are often very strict, mainly because you don't like certain sources, like ''People'' magazine (which is why we had to do that big RfC about ''People'' magazine generally being fine to use). Look at what you deleted . In that edit summary, you stated that there is a WP:BLP violation. If so, then you should delete the WP:BLP violation, not delete chunks and chunks of material because you don't like it. We lose a lot of important material with these huge chunks you make to these articles. Overquoting is easily remedied.

::I get your point about WP:GAs and WP:FAs. But ] is clear about treading carefully on WP:FA articles. In a lot of these cases, it doesn't matter that the article reached WP:FA years ago. There is still the fact that a lot of care went into these articles, including a lot of discussion about how they should be formatted.

your tree remembered

August songs

Today, Teresa Żylis-Gara, the second soprano to impress me on stage, died, - long live the memory of her beautiful singing, remembered with thanks. 28 August 2013 was a special concert day: look. After you gave me a tree. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:41, 28 August 2021 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Clouds. Sorry to see you have been blocked yet again. Ermm, Darkness Shines?? That seems a bit wide of the mark. Oh, I get it, it's got "Dark" in it. Silly me. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:50, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Always precious

Ten years ago, you were found precious. That's what you are, always.

There's a thread about the cabal of the outcast on my talk. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:58, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
