Talk:Louis van Amstel

message: I put together this entire article and I do not see any points that express a personal tone. Everything is neutral. And it does not read like a story. The biography goes through his life chronologically in an orderly way and the personal life section is also orderly. I don't see anything wrong with this article, so please leave it alone. I worked very hard on it to make it detailed and to fit the wikipedia standards.
I demand you take those three things down at the top of the article. They are NOT true. Thank you. Jww047 (talk) 14:21, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I've protected this article for 1 day due to edit warring.  Please discuss the disputes here or take to WP:DR or WP:3O.  I reverted to another revision after protection, I apologize, but I had WP:BLP concerns with the protected revision and policy is to err on the safe side.--v/r - TP 21:21, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Drmies, I assume your edit summary questioning the using of myspace was not in reference to the change you made, but to the use of myspace in the Dancing with the Stars and other sections. Actually, it's not really any different from the rest of the article, which mainly cites to self-published sources. There are eleven cites to Van Amstel's myspace page. If you look back at the way the article was before I started editing it, you'll see that the whole sequence of Dancing with the Stars appearances was all over the place, and I combined it into one section. Plus, I was focused on more obvious issues that needed to be addressed. 
In any event, although most of the asssertions backed up by myspace (I haven't checked every one) are relatively non-controversial but often still self-serving, it doesn't meet the criteria in WP:ABOUTSELF. Of course, removing all these assertions and anything else that is cited to self-published sources would pretty much gut the article. However, slashing an article back to its bones because of these kinds of issues sometimes has to happen. I know I've done it. I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on these issues.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:40, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm trimming some more chit-chat from the article, and I am replacing the autobiography references with cn-tags. I'm not looking for sources: first of all, they should be easy to come by and an experience editor (in this area) can easily separate the wheat from the chaff, second, I've never worked in this area before and have no intention to do so. ;) Maybe MQS is a fan--he's certainly knowledgeable and I'll drop him a line.

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
Asking for a friend, as a complete stranger to dance I have no clue what it means when the article says that he opened a dance studio that uses all four types of dance.
