I have added half a dozen independent citations to this article - this is not "personal analysis" 216.201.29.14 (talk) 20:22, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
You asked me to add sources and citations and I did, and you continued to cause conflict with me. It is clear you have some sort of personal bias here, and I will not hesitate to report you. 216.201.29.14 (talk) 20:24, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Deleting the numerous citations and sources I have provided and then accusing me of adding "unsourced" material is very dishonest. 216.201.29.14 (talk) 20:23, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

You're inserting opinion, using fansites and removing reliable sources while misinterpreting others and using sources that are tangential at best. You've also made unsourced accusations concerning living persons. "Poorly sourced" is a major issue here. Please stop. Acroterion (talk) 20:24, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
The "fan sites" you mention are archival websites that contain quotes from major news publications like the Village Voice and Soho Weekly News and The Independent that do not have an archived web presence elsewhere - you are acting in bad faith to frame the inaccurate information I am trying to correct with a variety of verified sources as somehow inappropriate. 216.201.29.14 (talk) 20:27, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have inserted no personal opinion of my own, I have referenced quotes from Parker's own interviewees such as Jah Wobble, who wrote an article for the British publication The Independent, and a link to audio of Parker's own admission of lying on the "This Strange Life" podcast. These are valid sources. 216.201.29.14 (talk) 20:29, 20 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
Then find proper sources, and read WP:RS and WP:V, and use the talkpage to discuss your edits. You removed the BBC as a source, as well as Deborah Spungen, and added commentary along with the Robison/Robinson mess. Don't use fansite archives or aggregators or tangential sources that are not primarily concerned with the topic. You also don't get to state that someone lied, with no well-sourced proof in RS.

The issue here is this - Alan Parker admitting he lied about the story he told on TV during his 2018 This Strange Life podcast appearance is not something that is going to make the news on CNN or any other major news network, and therefore providing an easy handy link. I provided the link to the podcast appearance; that wasn't good enough. I posted Jah Wobble's column that he wrote for a major British newspaper in 2009 about Parker lying in his books, but that wasn't good enough because it was archived and preserved on another website (the Independent, for whatever reason, no longer has it on their main page, and without the original URL, an Internet Archive link cannot be dug up). Wikipedia is filled to the brim with articles on entertainers that use podcasts, blogs, etc... as sources, and they are almost never taken down - yet on here where I am providing links to sources with the most provenance possible, it's an issue. The fact is this - this Wikipedia article is filled with citations and references from an author who has been called out for lying by Sid's friends and peers in major publications, and they shouldn't be dismissed simply because the only internet preservation of these articles once the links became dead ended up on secondary websites - especially when, again, Parker himself admitted to lying about these things while on that podcast, which I provided links to. I am not inventing these accusations out of whole cloth - they have been documented online in actual news outlets for 14 years at very least now, and Parker himself has confirmed them, not only in the aforementioned podcast appearance, but also in his book, "Young Flesh Required" - and for Wikipedia editors to not allow any sort of acknowledgement of the serious accusations against his reliability as a journalist and a historian is allowing false information on this site to go out into the world unchallenged. 216.201.29.14 (talk) 04:13, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
WP:RSN is thataway. Acroterion (talk) 04:27, 13 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Your editing here has been highly problematic. This probably isn't your first time here, either. Graham87 03:00, 14 July 2023 (UTC) This is not because of your edits to Ricky Kasso, which I edited, but your general editing pattern and demeanour (which I didn't notice until looking in to your edits more closely). To consider an unblock I would like to know more about your history on this site. As far as I'm concerned right now you are not trustworthy. Graham87 11:34, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

After thinking about it a bit more I realise I'm probably too involved, so I've unblocked you. This doesn't mean that I still don't have serious reservations about your editing here. By the way, I didn't notice your message at Talk:Ricky Kasso when I wrote this edit summary. Graham87 11:55, 14 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
