Talk:Adrienne Shelly

message: This article briefly contained a direct solicitation for financial contributions to a yet to be established foundation.  That content was deleted as a copy vio.  Now it is back contained in a link.  Apparently the foundation is still not established as a legal entity.  But aside from that, surely seeking contributions to a foundation, whether good or bad, is not appropriate whether done directly or as a link. Is the solicitation of funds here acceptable?  Does it depend on whether it is for a good purpose which would mean we would have to decide whether this is good otherwise, seeking contributions with evil purposes would be permitted as well.  I believe this reference should be deleted altogether, but before doing so, I raise the matter here.  Comments? KenWalker | Talk 05:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed both, but I think it's encyclopedic info. It is IMO an acceptable addition to this woman's bio, and whether or not the charity has been incorporated yet, there is a widely-circulated press release announcing it (which is where the original text was taken from, which is why it was removed as a copyvio). If the link (I haven't checked it) can also be considered verification of the added content, I don't see why it should be removed. A link to a charity that solicits donations is not, as far as I know, forbidden by any WP policies. But I might be wrong. If you feel strongly about it, you could always find a different copy of the information (although that seems illogical to me, since there may be people who would want to read more on the official website). I'm going to check now to make sure the re-added info is no longer a copyvio. Anchoress 05:39, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: That's a very good question. I have no idea so I changed it to a normal reference, as I have had to do for almost every one added. Way beyond the scope of this, but this article has really convinced me that we do have a problem with the complexity of adding references or convincing users to bother trying to figure out how to do so properly, or both. After Shelly died and I reworked the article, multiple users contributed and despite inline citation markup and properly formatted examples already present in the article, almost every addition was still given a naked embedded link.--Fuhghettaboutit 12:17, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
