message: If "the team at Joshklinghoffer.net" doesn't stop editing this article, it is likely to be deleted and "salted" to prevent its recreation. Conflicts of interest are a major problem in Wikipedia, and the creation and maintenance of an article by parties with severe conflicts of interest can create a problem which in the long run will damage the interests of the subject of the article. The problem is not necessarily actual lies, but rather an unbalanced and partisan view of the subject individual. The Wikipedia ideal is information from impartial, third-party sources of note. What we have here so far is more like an advertisement or fansite for Klinghoffer, full of unsourced allegations and peacock terms. --Orange Mike 12:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What do you mean, "if we'd been given the chance"? This article hasn't been nominated for deletion! The fansite tag is a request for improvement, not a death sentence. Restore the information you deleted, sourcing it as you go. Just do the edits you're talking about, keep a neutral tone, and contribute to other articles in areas where you are expert. (You might consider getting an ID that doesn't include Josh's name or initials in it, though.) --Orange Mike 19:08, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks - I'm keeping the info offline until edits are complete. I don't want a fight, and I appreciate everything you guys are saying. The article was a bit of a brain download, because things are getting published that ARE wrong, and AREN'T sourced, so we wanted to put out all the research that has been done. Josh is in no way connected to what we're doing - none of this is at his request, we just want to make sure people get the correct info. And I'm working on putting this info in a form acceptable to Wikipedia. --JKDN 21:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: SIGH. First, I came close to endorsing the proposed "deletion and salting" (mentioned last year-above) if it was totally screwed with. I got no edit issues with anyone! I wonder how many websites and You Tube fanatics realize how hard it is to tell copyvio from what isn't. B/c I've seen my work from... Patty Griffin to Cat Stevens, Mark Knopfler, to the Dixie Chicks used all over the place. Stuff I wrote. Sometimes from 1 1/2 years ago to one time, just 2 weeks later, on other websites, and it's HARD to figure out the same with other editors. Who wrote whatever? References? Or did someone copy them?  That's why the Klinghoffer site- I shouldve said something then-- saying, they'd hold off till the page was done to copy it worried me. And they don't have to worry about NPOV and so forth, right? (Tearing my hair out, now... maybe I need to move back to translating Japanese..) --leahtwosaints (talk) 08:52, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I removed the mention of him playing with NIN because it is uncited, and, my understanding is that he was extended the offer but somehow it never happened. Unless someone can verify his involvment I don't think it should be mentioned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.62.43.194 (talk) 19:32, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I think it's unlikely that the majority of these effects pedals and devices will ever have their own WP article. I propose zapping all the links. Dhalamh (talk) 09:56, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Nevermind. I boldly did it myself. I'm a bit confused about the source for this link also, as there is another conflicting article here, and I'm not sure if the list derives from the text or the embedded video. Dhalamh (talk) 10:46, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

message: I'm astonished that "ethnicelebs.com" is allowed to be cited without a raised eyebrow, especially on a BLP. The Fintzy 2012 source from JTA seems mostly... grabby? about possible links to ethnic Jewishness given the thrust of the article.I've become aware of this article and its ethno-religious backstory trivia due to the article subject complaining to an admin about its inclusion, apparently also edit-warring about it. Yes, they shouldn't be editing the article with their inalienable COI, but really I think they have a point. Maybe the relationship to Leon Klinghoffer has encyclopaedic utility, but the religious background of the mother and the phrase "linked to Judaism" don't seem like they serve a useful purpose.

replies: text: Thank you.  I agree, and when I investigated who initially added the information, it appears to be someone who does that for their own personal motives, which is fine I suppose, but when the relevance is questioned, and a good faith request for it's omission is made, it seems only right to do considering that religion is a touchy topic, and in the case of the subject this specific wiki page, ALL religion, or religious affiliation is unnecessary.  If someone wants to open Wiki pages for my parents and tell the world what religion they were born into, go right ahead, but I have very strong distaste for ALL religion and ALL religious practice and do not think it is relevant to include on this Wikipedia page.
