Penny Allen's version of events

edit

Penny, the problem here is that everything that is claimed about the relationship does appear to be well referenced - and I'm not talking about interviews with McEwan but about the press coverage of the court proceedings. If there are sources that can contradict some of the elements you are complaining about then the thing to do is to present those on the article talk page,Talk:Ian McEwan and have a discussion about rewording the article, the other place to try might be Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard but here again you will need sources. If you persist in editing the article the way you have so far, the most likely result is a block from editing for you and then your side of events will have no chance of being discussed. I appreciate that you find the whole thing deeply frustrating, or more, but rightly or wrongly it's the way Wikipedia works - by discussion and consensus.

I am grateful to you for explaining how to edit. My problem is this - you are taking your 'facts' from the media on the whole. The media has been silenced by Ian McEwan since at least 1995 - and its silencing does not permit it to say so. I too have been silenced very heavily by Ian McEwan so even if the media wanted to tell my story it would not be allowed to. This leaves Ian McEwan free to put out whatever story he likes through his many friends and relation on the press. I have written numerous letters of complaint to newspapers. No editor has ever corrected any mistakes or even deliberate defamation. I have complained to the PCC who tell me they cannot investigate because I am the 'subject of permanent injunctions'. I have complained about the corrupt judge to the Lord Chancellor who did no investigation. As a result the judge, whose court I refused to recognise, wrote defamation in his judgement which Ian McEwan then paid to have printed in the papers and has used ever since - no paper explaining the reason for Judge Clark's remarks or giving any context. The nearest that any paper has ever got to telling the truth is the Mail on Sunday and recently the Mail. They both sent journalists to interview me so, although they were heavily restricted from telling the truth, they did at least know the background. No other journalist has ever interviewed me; instead they take all their information from Ian McEwan who, when I told him I was suing for divorce, said, 'I am going to make you look such an arsehole'. All this is documented in my diaries, letters etc. I think you would be better advised to trust me as the authority on myself rather than the press.

My complaints regarding recent defamation and libel in the Sunday Times and the Times are currently under investigation by IPSO. I have rewritten letters of complaint regarding irregularities in the courts to the Lord Chancellor, the Home Secretary and the Attorney General.

Could you please let me know how to make a complaint about libel and defamation in your pages?

I hope I have submitted this in the correct way. If I haven't it is simply an error and would appreciate correction. Thank you. Penny Allen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cheltenham penny (talkcontribs) 12:49, 26 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Penny, I don't doubt any of what you are saying but Wikipedia requires content to be verifiable and from independent sources. Your own diaries and your own opinions don't meet either of those criteria. If you want to take this further then you need to email full details explaining what action you want and why to info-en-q wikimedia.org As Wikipedia is only reporting what has already been published elsewhere, I am not a lawyer, but your chances of proving libel and defamation in isolation against Wikipedia seem slim, however that is a matter for you to consider. It does appear that you have had a great deal of problems surrounding the divorce and you have my sympathies for that but Wikipedia is not a place for righting great wrongs.
