HELLO

Hello

Just for your information

As for the National Enquirer article, which summarizes the facts in Dee Presley's unpublished book, The Intimite Life and Death of Elvis Presley, I did some further research. The article was published in 1993. In it, Elvis's stepmother, Dee Stanley, indeed confirms that Elvis had an affair with Nick Adams. She also claims that he had a sexual relationship with his mother, which had resulted in Gladys drinking herself to death, and that Vernon had known about this. She further says that Elvis had raped Priscilla, his wife, upon learning that she was leaving him for good, ostensibly to prove that he was still a man, and that he had committed suicide because he had been suffering from bone-marrow cancer. Finally, Dee Presley reveals how Elvis had coerced a teenage fan into a three-day orgy, and fed her an entire bottle of Hycodan (a powerful codeine-based cough syrup) on which she had overdosed.

Earl Greenwood, in his book The Boy who would be King (1990), clearly says that Nick Adams was Elvis's "persistent friend." According to the author, they "shared a mutual enjoyment of prescription drugs," and "Nick became a regular at whatever house Elvis was renting." "Elvis still hated sleeping alone, and he grew close enough to Nick to ask him to stay over on nights he was feeling particularly blue but not up to a sexual confrontation with a woman." When he heard that his friend had died, "Elvis's immediate reaction was to sit on the steps, frozen and mute, then his eyes welled with tears and his body shook, as he rocked himself back and forth, arms clutching his sides. Elvis was devastated and suffered through it for days. He sequestered himself upstairs and could be heard crying through the closed door. ... Elvis talked about how close they had been, particularly after a couple of foursomes, and admitted he had 'spurned' Nick's friendship later, saying he had needed 'room to breathe,' because Nick had wanted 'too much, ya know?'..." The author adds that "some pointed comments were made about the two of them years later by a disgruntled hand Elvis just fired..." "Regardless of any intimacies, Nick didn't kill himself over Elvis - it turned out he had a lot of demons haunting him. But Elvis beat himself over Nick's death for a long time." (See pp. 284-286)

In another chapter of the same book, there are some further remarks about the fact that Colonel Parker had told young Elvis "he needed to sharpen his stage presence and develop an image, and to play up his sexuality and make both men and women in the audience want him. ... The idea that he could control men ... had never occurred to him, until Parker brought it up. Not by sleeping with them but by daring them not to notice his sexual smolder. And he found the thought of being wanted by a man oddly erotic, and it made him feel powerful and superior." (See p. 165) Onefortyone 03:24, 12 October 2005 (UTC) Onefortyone 04:20, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you telling me this?

Once again, we're dealing with weak sources. As I've said time and again, The National Enquirer is not a credible source. An unpublished manuscript, particularly one which seems to be constructed of every possible allegation under the sun, is not a credible source.

I'm not going to spend time researching the credibility of the Earl Greenwood book. I've done so with a number of your past sources at length, and discussed their credibility with you, but everything I've said has been entirely ignored by you. If it were a credible source, it would be the very first credible source that you've cited that I've seen. I'm afraid my assumptions of good faith have been all but used up.

I will respond to the credibility of the quotes you've provided though. Someone being distraught at their friend dying isn't proof of homosexuality. People are always distraught at their friends dying, or their pets dying. It doesn't mean there's been a sexual relationship with either their friends or their pets.

The rest of the quotes are hearsay, and don't report who they were said by or told to. Some of them are making assumptions about Elvis' mindset and thought process, and are thus non-credible.

Even if the quotes came from credible sources, and accurately reported what was going on - which due to it being hearsay, and supposedly quoting people but not saying which people, I doubt they do - the quote about Elvis turning down Nick Adams would disprove your theory that Elvis was gay, rather than prove it.

You're continuing to push a single agenda, which is a direct or indirect attempt to insert a POV in a number of articles. You're continuing to search for sources which support your theories, rather than assess the credibility and content of all sources, and then draw conclusions from that. Both of those are at odds with an NPOV encyclopaedia.

And I still don't know why you've told me these things for my information. KeithD (talk) 07:44, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I told you these things simply because you said on the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gay sex rumors about Elvis Presley page that I "haven't provided the relevant passage from Earl Greenwood's book." See [1] Now I have cited the relevant passage. You also added to the Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Onefortyone/Evidence page "somewhat of a 'me too' post" in which you, as third party, stated that your "experiences are largely the same as those of Ted Wilkes." See Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Onefortyone/Evidence#Evidence_presented_by_User:KeithD. I had hopes that you, as an unbiased user, may possibly change your mind now.

Hello. Round four of Wikipedia Mind Benders will open on Thursday, December 1. This round will be drastically different from round three; part one will consist of a creative project, and part two will be developed from there. The full details will be released when the round opens. Time and speed should not be major factors in this round; thus, there is no exact opening time for the round as speed will not factor into the scoring. Thanks!

Elvis page

Hi, I see you've had dealings with user Onefortyone before. I was wondering on any advice you can give pertaining to his repeated efforts to disparage celebrity pages with misleading information, that is highly suspect from badly sourced or falsely sourced books. I've been trying to clean this article up - to organize it - and reformat it, to meet wikipedia standards - and he has been a repeated thorn in the side of clean-up insisting on creating long personal essays, containing original research, badly sourced material that takes away from the quality of the article and amounts to disruption of the wikipedia process. Any help would be welcomed in cleaning the article up and with this user. --Northmeister 00:17, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No practical advice, I'm afraid. It was the protracted grind of that in particular that caused me to step back my involvement in Wikipedia. I believe that he is under some form of probation following past instances. Asking an admin for help might be a good idea. Sorry not to be more helpful. KeithD 08:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Koptalk page

Hi. Could you please advise how to stop people from posting lies, incorrect information and so on? These people are from rival websites and it's simply spoiling Wikipedia. Thanks. www_koptalk_com 15:16, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you think people are posting lies, then you should discuss it on the talk page of Koptalk, and cite your sources. I presume that you are the owner of the actual Koptalk site, which means that you are going to have to make sure that everything you do is above board. There was an incident yesterday when someone tried to change the external links to point away from the critical sites, and rather to point to similar domains owned by the owner of Koptalk. This manipulation was unacceptable, and was reverted.

As it stands, the criticisms that have been made have cited their sources. As you haven't cited any counter-evidence, and have just blanked various critical sections, there could be problems. Wikipedia is about verifiability. It isn't about avoiding all criticism or praise. Anything verifiable and notable has a place on Wikipedia. It seems that you have a vested interest in the Koptalk article, which, as I say, means that you should do everything by the book, and discuss it properly on the talk page.

For the record, I'm not a registered member of any 'rival site', or of Koptalk itself. I think I posted a couple of times on the official site a few years ago, but that's it. KeithD 14:23, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Justification

So you have to respond to what claims these muppets say? Everything they says is either spliced or tampered with and you expect us to respond to that? By all means they can leave criticism on articles but when it's clear that an article has been used to publish nonsense it should be sorted out. Anyone with an inch of common sense should be able to identify troublemakers and people who are genuinely criticising. Thanks for your input. www_koptalk_com 15:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied on your talk page. Let's keep all the discussion there, so it's all in one place, and we don't lose the thread of what we're saying. KeithD 14:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Mr. Fu

A tag has been placed on Mr. Fu requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The Blackpool matter...

The Blackpool topic[edit source]

Greetings - I noted you likely are much more of a stakeholder in the Blackpool article - I did make many very bold and strident changes - and I documented them as such in the audit trail of the edits - I do apologize - all edits made in good faith.

Sadly, the reversion by @DragonofBatley deleted many more conservative edits - the sizing of the images is the most notably visual loss of quality by these wholesale resets.

As with most matters there is always a civil middle ground and sure - I have no interest in edit wars and I was crystal clear that I did think my edits - totally pushed the 'consensus boundaries' - but no one reacted negatively - until this day. There are sections in the article's talk section and there was arguably some degree of consensus.

I usually only focus on medical and science articles and there is less room for bombast and group think in such articles -

I did actually think the changes others made - size of images - should be reverted - but I am not getting directly involved.
