Talk:Timothy Parker (puzzle designer)

message: This article appears to be an autobiography. Article creator appears to be linked with subject, and edits from IP addresses 71.166.47.202, 72.83.128.23 and others have contributed largely to this one article; one has contributed 10 times only to Timothy Parker article, another only to this article, and to "Merv Griffin's Crosswords" to add that Timothy Parker was the puzzle producer, etc.
Wikipedia User/Editor Arcenter -- who created and has made extensive edits to only the Timothy Parker page -- appears to be Timothy Parker himself. See the URLs (www.arcenter.com) in the following newsgroup posts made by Parker, for example:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.puzzles.crosswords/MckVUTkPdUA
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.puzzles.crosswords/R7Rf1IptLNg
Further, Parker's Wikipedia photo is credited to Arcenter as "Own Work."
Is there a way to ban Arcenter/Parker from further editing his own page?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:FE4F:D200:E970:1753:2884:FA47 (talk) 15:25, 5 March 2016 (UTC)

message: I just undid two changes stating that Timothy Parker has two sons and that one is a semi-professional street fighter in Mexico. Ref stating that he has a son and a daughter:  The rest of this article should be evaluated for accuracy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.251.108.100 (talk) 22:38, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: * Which part? He may very well be the "founder" of Universal Uclick's line of crossword puzzles (if he is the first to hold the position of senior editor), but it's true that there should probably be a citation for that. Fheaney (talk) 15:36, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

message: Arcenter and 71.179.21.197 - Please explain here why the content should be removed, instead of causing an edit war. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs)  14:43, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Content Dispute 

message: Since the citation for the fact that he was drafted by the Pirates at the age of 16 is pretty obviously based on information Mr. Parker provided himself, can that be flagged as non-verifiable, too?  I guess based on the brouhaha over the past few days, I don't quite trust his word on this matter.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kinshane (talk • contribs) 15:28, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Drafted by Pirates 

message: The reference for the Guinness Word Records claim appears to be Parker himself.
There is no evidence of such an award: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/search?term=Timothy+Parker
A Guinness search for "Crossword" also shows nothing relevant: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/search?term=Crossword

thread_title:  Awards and recognition 

message: The edit war on this page continues, despite bans on some on the participants. In the middle of the war, the citations were lost, leading to Mike1901's sadly correct reversion due to improper citation. I say we revert the page back to EconRad's edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Timothy_Parker_(puzzle_designer)&oldid=709838402, since it includes the citations and is free from the effects of the edit war.
Also, the aforementioned IP's 104.244.53.* are not only committing an edit war, but also including uncited personal information about Parker, suggesting a possible COI. In fact, due the unanimous condemnation of Parker in the crossword community, I would consider all parties who make edits to mitigate Parker's role or absolve him of guilt to be placed under suspicion of COI.

thread_title:  Revert needed 

message: I was wondering if there's a way that we could include some of the content from this edit. The current edit has a lot of information, but it also reads a little like a news report and I'd like to include a bit of Parker's response to the allegations.
