Talk:Joel Siegel

message: I just read about his passing on the IMDb, and they say he is survived by his wife Ena, this article says he has a partner, implying that he is gay.  At least I can't tell because the name of the person isn't exactly sex defining.  Anyone have any info? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.225.146.45 (talk • contribs) 23:59, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Whether Ena was his 3rd or 4th wife, I do not know.  I found 10 sources that say third and one that says fourth.  The LA Times and the NY Post both say 3rd.  The Arizona Republic says 4th.  I think we should stick with the majority on this until something more definitive comes along.  Rklawton 23:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Dan, thanks for taking the time to help with Jeol's article.  Here's the problem.  Anyone can register for an account here.  Anyone can edit articles.  Anyone can claim to be anyone, and there's not much we can do about it - except this:  we require verifiable and reliable sources.  In short, we depend on published sources for our facts.  If you can point us toward such information sources, we'll be happy to incorporate that information.  Does Joel mention any of this in his book?  I'd be glad for an excuse to read it.

text: I'm soory, but Wikipedia is not a memorial, subscribes to neutral point of view, and has set policies on sourcing.  Generally, biographies put together by people who know the subject are frowned upon because of hagiography.  I'm normally not rude, but we have no way to verify who you are, and even if we did, you don't count as a source, because you're unreliable.  moreover, who are you, who doesn't even have an account registered here, to talk about what Wikipedia policies should be so they fit what you want?  Go get a blog to be indignant on, sir. MSJapan 17:37, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Wikipedia specifically prohibits primary sources.  Perhaps you have us confused with Wikinews?  I've posted some useful links on your talk page.  Give them a read when you have the time.  They'll explain a lot about what Wikipedia is and how we go about editing our articles.  You'll see, in the end, that for an encyclopedia anyone can edit, what we do makes a lot of sense.
