Talk:Adam Yosef

message: There are two different dates for Adam Yosef's date of birth on various information portals around the net. Is there any way of verifying the real date of birth, it's either 08/09/80 as stated here or 06/09/81 as claimed elsewhere? Mallrat 14:28, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the word "glowing" for specific reasons: one, it's a very subjective term and doesn't belong in a encyclopedia. Two, reading his article twice, I feel that it was an attempt by Adam to appropriate Pride Day for other groups ("When I stood amongst the thousands of people who conveged on Birmingham this weekend, I didn’t see it as just a celebration of gay identity", "When I stood amongst the thousands of people who conveged on Birmingham this weekend, I didn’t see it as just a celebration of gay identity."). I don't think an article about Pride Day that somehow seems embarrassed about the actual reason for it proves his tolerance for LGBT matters (while neither does it make him homophobic). --Paul Moloney 09:59, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I read the piece again and it seems to me that you have a point. I've put in another quotation which shows his somewhat ambivalent views. David | Talk 20:34, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

message: So far as I can find, there is no evidence that Peter Tatchell specifically criticised Adam Yosef until after the second questionable article Yosef wrote in the Desi Express which called for Tatchell to get a slap in the face. The Indymedia link provided was clearly written after this second article. David | Talk 17:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, the links in the gay section are mixed up, but I can't untangle them right now. Anyone with more patience? BrainyBabe 20:04, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I have:
* italicised the names of publications per Wikipedia Manual of Style,
* fixed the link to the Green Party of England and Wales (the link had been to "Green Party" which is a redirect to Worldwide green parties),
* fixed the link to Respect - The Unity Coalition (it had been to "RESPECT The Unity Coalition", which is a redirect).
These edits are not nonsense, and are not vandalism. I have therefore undone the reversion of them by User:Matthew Baird. Ground Zero | t 16:42, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: In response to the 'notability' tag included by user IP 79.73.138.165 (Slough, London, UK), which has now been removed and rectified, the subject of this article 'Adam Yosef' fits the criteria of the Notability Guidelines:
* "Sources,"[5] defined on Wikipedia as secondary sources, provide the most objective evidence of notability. The number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources. Multiple sources are generally preferred."
* "The common theme in the notability guidelines is the requirement for verifiable objective evidence to support a claim of notability. Substantial coverage in reliable sources constitutes such objective evidence, as do published peer recognition and the other factors listed in the subject specific guidelines. Note WP:Verifiability: "If no reliable, third-party sources can be found for an article topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.""
The subject has numerous reliable secondary and third party sources to both identify the subject and to provide evidence of the facts contained within this Wikipedia entry about the subject's work. These include newspaper articles and multiple third party content by reliable news mediums and sources. The subject is consistently in the public eye with external news sources featuring the subject on a regular basis and therefore the subjects fills the criteria of not being of temporary notability. Coverage of subject is not limited to inclusion based on press releases but includes third party analysis of subject.
The subject is cross-referenced in numerous other encycolopedic entries by a number of various users, inclusions which dispell the suggestion of self-publicity by one single user. Influence of the subject's work is indicated in related entries including Peter Tatchell, Respect Unity Coalition etc.
The entry does require updating, some of which I have included to feature more recent sources. Inclusion of 'Notability' tag may have been vandalism in the first instance, as the tag addition to this entry was the only single Wikipedia contribution made by the user. 80.249.48.115 (talk) 12:37, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Sources should be cited for all facts contained in this entry to prevent libel. Will look into some of them, Sources were present but some have expired so new citations need to be located, shouldn't be hard as most have multiple news sources. Might change the References to inline citations, a preferred format. No need to delete as yet as most information on here seems to be verifiable but needs updating, amending and additional information.
