4/22/07 - Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey
[edit]At this point, you have received warnings regarding your persistent edits, and had your edits reverted by myself and other editors. Without discussing this, the conflict will not be resolved, and reaching an agreement is the desired outcome. Since you did not respond to my first message, I'm trying again. Your edits to these two articles are not in accord with Wikipedia's policy for biographies of living people (WP:BLP) and are in violation of the WP:LIBEL policy. I appreciate your recent efforts to add sources, but regrettably, your citations are not adequate under the Wikipedia guidelines for reliable sources (WP:RS). Blogs (such as the one you linked here [1] are not considered reliable -- see WP:SPS and YouTube (which you referenced here [2]) is not inherently an inappropriate link, but is when the video is copyrighted material, as it is in this case.
Please do not add these edits again unless you have reputable, reliable sources. On a related note, I'm curious as to why you believe these edits are relevant. The quotes themselves, I'm sure, can be cited, but the question remains whether they are appropriate content for the articles. Please note what Wikipedia is not--a directory of quotes (WP:NOT#DIR. The quotes, if properly cited, would probably find a better home at Wikiquote. As it is, Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey are not notable in each other's personal lives--only professional--per any reputable source. The quotes you have added are not from reliable articles talking about a love affair between the two--they're castmates speaking well of/joking with one another. Taking the quotes out of their original context and placing them in the "personal life" section of the articles in question to give the appearance of some sort of affair is libelous. Even in their original context, I feel that the quotes are superfluous and just clutter up the articles. It's not important in the grand scheme of the biography of Patrick Dempsey or Ellen Pompeo what they think of each other, and without reliable information that they are anything other than faithful to their respective partners, trying to paint a picture of anything else is inappropriate and libelous. I welcome your arguments or further discussion on this--please feel free to respond here or on my talk page. It's much more efficient and effective to discuss this and work out an agreement than to continually clutter up the edit history on these pages with edits and reversions.

Please stop adding unreferenced controversial biographical content to articles, as you did at Ellen Pompeo. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Gwernol 00:59, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you.
