I wrote two things that I can't prove (yet) and he decided that I couldn't possibly be writing anything of value. That's when I gave him an earful and he started power triping. Stinkyandthebrain (talk) 00:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia has a policy about biographies of living persons, WP:BLP which says that if you do not have in the article reliable sources which back up any controversial statements about living persons, those statements must be removed. Find articles in magazines or newspapers which substantiate the things you want to say. Edison (talk) 19:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Specifically, this editor has been adding convicted sex offenders to the category "Gay writers," apparently at random. I've blocked him for disruptive editing. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Notability of Joe McCain

edit
 

The article Joe McCain has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Edison (talk) 23:43, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

The AFD for the Joe McCain article is looking up, after I pointed out some newspaper stories about him dating back to the early 1970's. The article itself could improvements and extension. Anything controversial needs solidly reliable references. Edison (talk) 23:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
