Please cite reliable sources edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Luke Macfarlane, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 04:37, 27 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please understand that Wikipedia needs to be very careful about this sort of thing. I could see nothing on the Facebook page that confirms what you wrote about Aaron Tveit. Do you have a newspaper or magazine article that you could cite instead? Thanks. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 06:34, 27 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Please stop adding information about people's sexuality to their biographies unless the sexuality is actually discussed in reliable sources. Thank you. Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 15:45, 5 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Is your vandalism of Aaron's page a joke, or is it from some kind of bitter vendetta? JNF Tveit (talk) 00:35, 7 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

KEMorris, (thanks for your message on my talk page) I would not have called it vandalism, but please understand how this might look to us. Your first contributions are to make allegations about a gay relationship between two actors. You do it by citing sources that do not confirm what you wrote in any way. Once we call you on that, you then proceed to add content to Aaron Tveit's article that seems to strongly imply something about his sexual orientation. It's tough to know what your intentions are here. Anyway, being called "hot" by a blog, even a widely read one, is not typically what we would include in a section about "awards" or "recognition" in a person's encyclopedia biography.

I may have been harsh with my insistence that the article comply with the policy on the biographies of living persons. I apologize for my harshness. I don't think I ever accused you of vandalism. As for the article, I'm not sure which "update" you are referring to, since I have not edited the article today. Did you mean this update, which was by a different editor? I guess the point is, according to Wikipedia policy, we cannot have the article say, or even imply, that Tveit is gay unless that has been stated in reliable sources such as newspaper or magazine articles. I've done a search of a database of news articles, and I found nothing that has been written about Tveit's sexual orientation. I'd suggest a compromise at this point: that the article simply say, 'Tveit was called "One of the Hottest Guys in Theater" by the blog AfterElton.com." and we remove the section heading "Other Recognition" (since a separate section like that would usually be used for more notable awards). What are your thoughts about that idea? Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 19:46, 7 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
