Ex-wives

Ok, clearly this paragraph was not written as it should be, so I'm rewriting...I'm assuming the 3 wives part is factually accurate, but if it's not someone feel free to fix that as well.Doregasm 22:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the un-encyclopedic aspects of the wives section of the article. This included the removal of subjective terms such as "bimbo" and "trophy wife". I also removed off topic discussion by the editor referring to the approximate age of these wives. Lastly, I removed clear references to the editor's own opinion such as "this thought disgusts me". I have not changed facts such as the wives' names however do encourage another editor to find sources for these names. Billpeanut 8:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

All that is sourced so far is the name of his current wive, Christine, and that the mother of one of his daughters is named Myrna. It does look like the whole issue of his marriages fails The Prime Notability Criterion. -- Donald Albury 20:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Ex-wives issue ... again

This issue has appeared again, and I have reverted this edit for the following reasons:

• The names of the wives don't belong as per WP:BIO. Naming the first two wives doesn't appear to add any significant value to the article and their privacy outweighs any insignificant value that might exist. (Additionally, WP:BIO states "When evaluating the inclusion or removal of names, their publication in secondary sources other than news media, such as scholarly journals or the work of recognized experts, should be afforded greater weight than the brief appearance of names in news stories." So the NYT source for the previous wives MIGHT be acceptable, but the blog entry that the editor used for the current wife is certainly not.)
• Including unsourced statements that someone's new spouse is the same age as the person's own child provides NO value to this article and is inappropriate. Even if it was sourced it still wouldn't. shirulashem (talk) 16:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

• I had also reverted these same changes and I have the same issue. While sources are necessary, wrapping personal commentary around a source that does not include the characterizations made does not make the addition valid. Alansohn (talk) 16:58, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Discussion from User_talk:Alansohn Cut me a break. Nothing in what I wrote is untrue. I sourced everthing. I will cut out some of the "personal comments", but the facts should stand as they are.--12.147.221.46 (talk) 22:30, 22 December 2008 (UTC) Provide the material in objective fashion. Your edit, as you wrote it, is vandalism. Alansohn (talk) 22:32, 22 December 2008 (UTC) I just did as you asked.--12.147.221.46 (talk) 22:33, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Discussion from User_talk:12.147.221.46 Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Ed Snider has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. Alansohn (talk) 22:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC) I reworked the edit to take out the personal comments. You should have no problem with it now.--12.147.221.46 (talk) 22:35, 22 December 2008 (UTC) Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Ed Snider. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. shirulashem (talk) 22:37, 22 December 2008 (UTC) If this is a shared IP address, and you didn't make the edit, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices. I took out all references that could be classified as "personal commentary". You should now have no problem with the rewording.--12.147.221.46 (talk) 23:08, 22 December 2008 (UTC) Unfortunately I had to revert it again. While you did address the POV problem, I'm afraid the info still isn't appropriate here. See this article. Please let me know if I can be of more help. shirulashem (talk) 23:25, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Discussion from User_talk:Shirulashem I took out all references that could be classified as "personal commentary". You should now have no problem with the rewording.--12.147.221.46 (talk) 23:07, 22 December 2008 (UTC) There is NOT an "inadequate source" for names. These sources are VERY adequate (unless you considerate the New York Times to be an "inadequate source"). I am not sure what your agenda is, but I will not put up with it. Continue your actions and I will file a formal compaint with the Wikipedia administrators. --12.147.221.72 (talk) 12:32, 23 December 2008 (UTC) Your additions to Ed Snider are inappropriate and have again been reverted. I have placed my comments on the talk page of the article. shirulashem (talk) 16:22, 23 December 2008 (UTC) My contributions to the Ed Snider article are NOT inappropriate. I am simply stating facts which have been verified by relaible citations. Instead of deleting the changes, why don't you make CORRECTIONS to them as you see fit? You obviously have a hidden agenda here, and i am beginning to wonder if you have some personal reason as to why you are insisting that this proper information be deleted. I am considering filing a complaint to the Wikipedia adminstration. --12.147.221.72(talk) 17:39, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

medcab request

A request for informal mediation was filed on this article. Do any issues remain to be mediated, or should I close the request? Geoff Plourde (talk) 05:29, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Sad one ...
