A. Gary Klesch article

ello all,

I’ve posted some COI edit requests at Talk: A. Gary Klesch.

As an editor with a connection to Gary I do not want to make these changes myself and would be very appreciative if someone was able to take a look and share feedback.

Thank you! Rosalyn Rosalyn15 (talk) 14:04, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

What to do when the controversy about a person is bigger than anything else about them?

I am asking the question specifically with regard to internet-breaker (pun intended) Rachael Gunn, but this may apply to other BLPs, so thought it worth asking for opinions here. I did a brief search on the discussion archives but could not see anything specifically relating to my question. As anyone who has skimmed or watched any mainstream or social media recently will know, this Australian breakdancer's Olympics routine has sparked a lot of controversy which pretty much overwhelms anything else written about her. I know that controversy sections are discouraged, but there is the potential for a lot more to be added on Wikipedia if it is the right thing to do. So what are our options here? Create a separate section within the article and expand it? Keep cutting back and ignoring various details about who said what or how it has all spread virally, with people such as Adele and Jimmy Fallon involved? Create a separate article about her entry and the controversy it has generated? (Also, some have raised questions about cultural appropriation - but that would apply to many other breakers as well I would think.) Expand the section Concerns and controversies at the 2024 Summer Olympics#Reaction to Australian breaker and direct the BLP article to this one for more information?

If someone can pass on some advice either here or directly on the talk page of the article, I would appreciate it. Laterthanyouthink (talk) 00:11, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Opt out of RM notifications?

This talk page has become essentially a list of RMs of people in the last few weeks. These notifications might make sense for smaller wikiprojects, but WP Bio has 2.5 million articles in its scope. Anyone wanting to keep track of RMs can do so through Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Article alerts; extra notifications here are not helpful.

Is there any way we can opt-out of these? Pinging script maintainers @TheTVExpert and BilledMammal: and frequent users @SafariScribe and 98Tigerius: – Joe (talk) 07:53, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for pinging. I will keep this in mind from now and opt out this WikiProject when notifying in the future. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂[𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 08:01, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
Not with the current implementation unfortunately. I am planning a revamp of the notification system, and I will make sure to include such an option then. BilledMammal (talk) 12:36, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

Oxford DNB entry is available through WP:The Wikipedia Library. There is also a book about him listed in the further reading which is on the Internet Archive. Curbon7 (talk) 20:39, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
Main thing is that I want to confirm the outlandish sounding details of his life, because people are citing the Wiki page as fact. Meanwhile it has sections that are unsourced. As a start, I removed the unsourced material that seemed to be commentary or speculative. Harizotoh9 (talk) 08:39, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you so much for the response!
It was deleted due to promotional or advertising content. I can't lie that it put a knot in my stomach since I worked on it for a few days and researched the subject for over two years :(

living/blp parameter in template

This is to inform you about some developments in how the living parameter has been changing in your project banner. As the banner shell is now used on every article, it is no longer necessary to add living, or activepol or blpo to {{WikiProject Biography}}. These parameters are all accepted by the banner shell and can safely be removed from other templates. At the same time we thought we would check if these parameters and notices still fit the needs of the project, or if any other options were required? Also, we are considering a simplification so that instead of |living=yes and |activepol=yes we could just use something like |blp=activepol. If anyone has any opinions, please join the thread at Template talk:WikiProject banner shell#Why we should choose between blp or living — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:59, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
