Jack Kelly

Hello. I reverted your edits to the Jack Kelly article for several reasons. First, this is the second or third time you have tried adding content regarding the subject's sister, Nancy. She has her very own article here and content regarding her career should go in that article. Personal observations such as "perhaps because they looked enough alike that she could only have played his sister; Kelly never reached her career heights, leaving him notably overshadowed by a sibling in life as well as on television's Maverick." are not considered neutral in nature and are basically your own original research. Content added to any article should be neutral and verifiable by reliable, third party sources. Further, the article is about Jack Kelly, not Maverick. You might also want to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's external link policy as a number of the links you have tried to include (namely links to fan blogs and Facebook pages) are not considered encyclopedic in nature. Thank you. Pinkadelica^♣ 10:39, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Do you have any reliable sources that cover this supposed interesting and "most talked about facets of Kelly's life"? If it is in fact interesting and talked about, sources should be easy to come by. If not, I do not believe the fact is notable enough to be mentioned in his article. Unless the event somehow impacted Kelly's notability, it's basic trivia and unsourced trivia at that. If Nancy Kelly did not have her own article I could see mentioning her Oscar nom, but seeing as she does, I think the content belongs in her article as that article deals with her career. As for your "irresponsible"/"bordering on vandalism" comment, that's a bit too dramatic to be taken seriously. You can disagree with my criteria for content inclusion all day long, but please don't attempt to characterize my edits as irresponsible or vandalism. If I were irresponsible, I would not have taken the time to explain why I reverted your edits or point out basic policy to you. If I were a vandal, I most certainly would not have taken the time to rewrite and source the article back in November. That's not what irresponsible editors and/or vandals do. If you want additional opinions regarding the content and its inclusion, you're free to open a WP:RfC on the matter on the article talk page. Pinkadelica^♣ 11:56, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
