Talk:Carole Radziwill

message: Someone is insisting on putting a review of my book on wikipedia in violation of the rules. This isn't meant to be space for review or commentary.   It is merely FACTS about my life. I keep deleting it and it gets reverted. Whoever is doing this I kindly ask you to stop. It is extremely irritating. I don't see book reviews on other authors memoirs. If I am wrong please show me an author who has had their book bascially excerpted on wikipedia. If this is a problem I would like to request my entry be deleted in its entirety. Additionally I was born in 1968. Thank you. Carole Radziwill  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gigimadison (talk • contribs). 
:Your massive deletions of article content were unaccompanied by explaination, and the reverts clearly stated that this was the reason the material was being re-instated. The difficulty here is that the content of your memoir also happened to constitute the facts of your life, and it is normal and appropriate for those facts, re-written, to be inclued in a Wiki bio. That bio is not a review of your writing, but a summary of those portions of your life which justify Wiki including your bio and are likely to interest Wiki readers seeking information about the author, the Bouviers, or the Kennedys. That said, I did not intend to include information in the article that you would rather not be included, although such information may be included if noteworthy and written to Wiki's standards: Wiki bios on authors frequently discuss the content and impact of their published works. Moreover, I have no way of knowing whether you are who you say you are. But Wiki's practice on bios of living persons is clear: "The Arbitration Committee has ruled in favor of showing leniency to the subjects of biographies who try to remove what they see as errors or unfair material:". In deference to that policy, I am reverting my deletion thereby leaving out what you excised. I sincerely apologize if I have in any way caused you any discomfort or distress: I very much enjoyed the book, admired its protagonist, and wish you well. Lethiere 02:24, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Book Review 

message: The accurate reporting of the date of birth of a person of interest is a standard inclusion in any biographical work.  The year of birth of the subject of this biography is being changed to 1968 from 1963.  A person claiming to be Di Falco writes in the discussion that her year of birth was 1968.
In Di Falco's book, "What Remains", the author gives many references to her age at the time of the various events she reports.  On page 35, she writes that she had just turned four on Labor Day 1967, which would make her year of birth 1963.  If her year of birth was 1968, she wouldn't have been present in 1967.  On page 20, she discusses her hatred of the 'tragedy whores', writing that she hated them at age 12 in 1976 after the death of a classmate (Garritano twin in dumbwaiter) and hated them at age 35, after the deaths of her friends in a plane crash on July 16, 1999.  She writes later of her birthday following her husband's death three weeks after the death of her friends (p 254).  Again, these dates concur with the year 1963 as her year of birth. 
Di Falco writes that she was married on August 27, 1994 (p.13 What Remains).  After her marriage, she writes (p. 56) that she was 31 when she and her new husband rented their apartment.   
Di Falco also reports beginning her unpaid internship with ABC in November 1986 during her third year at Hunter College (p. 63 What Remains).  In 1989 she reports that she was 25 and was assigned to Leslie Cockburn, again making the year of birth 1963 (p. 69 What Remains).  
These ages and dates would make 1968 as the year of birth false.
In addition, in an interview on December 5, 2005 with Linda Frum of Macleans, Di Falco responds to a question about her motivation for writing the book, "What Remains", with the statement that "I thought that if I was going to write a book then I was going to have to be honest. People recognize honesty. They crave it."  (link http://www.macleans.ca/article.jsp?content=20051205_116946_116946&source=srch)

thread_title:  Accurate reporting of year of birth 

message: There seems to be a long-standing complaint from the subject of this bio that the date or year or birth is wrong, and she doesn't want it to be included. I see no reason to disrespect that; there is nothing about this bio that makes the precise age essential. BLP is very clear that we should err on the side of caution when it comes to things like this. I should add that I'm approaching this as an admin, by the way, in case a situation arises where admin action might be appropriate. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 21:45, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue appears to be that she does not want it published at all, not that it is incorrect.  – ukexpat (talk) 21:49, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That's fine too, Uk. If there were some issue at stake e.g. the subject of the BLP had been accused of doing something under-age at a certain point in her life and it was directly relevant to her notability, then our other policies would kick in. But where nothing is at stake, there's no point in upsetting someone and possibly getting the dates wrong. SlimVirgin talk|contribs 21:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The info. was deleted by another editor as not notable.http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carole_Radziwill&diff=prev&oldid=607074052 Several editors have edited that particular item in the article, and there is a pretty good chance that editors will check the article or the info. every time that particular episode is aired or viewed. I added a ref to the bravo.com site, which could be too close to a primary ref?--but other refs that I know-of are currently less acceptable as-reference (personal blogs), so I chose what i considered to be the best ref. to that item as far as WP is concerned. I put the info. back with the last accepted version, although I preferred the "wee hours" version, I don't want to mess-around with the text, but I think that the info. is notable and of particular interest to the article and WP24.0.133.234 (talk) 14:34, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Why is how she occupies herself when she can't sleep worthy of inclusion? Flyte35 (talk) 01:40, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

text: For what it's worth, I find it to be an interesting detail and think it's worthy of inclusion. If it was like a lengthy series of paragraphs on the various things she does in her free time, I can see how it might not fit, but I've seen a variety of other wikipedia articles include references to celebrities, criminals, etc. making wikipedia edits. I vote to include it. Bali88 (talk) 23:20, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Basically Wikipedia deems notability by wherther there is WP:SIGCOV on a topic. Yes there can be other factors but mainly that is what is the main factor. If there isnt published accounts of something it probably isnt notable. (At least in the eyes of Wikipedia). However consensus matters and could override. I think it it interesting and therefore notable and should be included. Eruditess (talk) 21:30, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
