thread_title: Convention on autobiography

message: As you can see from the revision history, I undid the change (a single sentence) made on 25 March 2018. As I noted in my edit summary, the information in it – a mention in a local urban weekly citing her as one of "Vancouver's 30 most influential female politicians in history" – was fine and appropriate to include in the article per se. However, it was just written as if it were on a bulleted list somewhere; it wasn't even a complete sentence, and its source was not formatted as a footnote.
I didn't notice at first that the change was made (assumedly) by Ellen herself, but looking down to the end of the article as well as reviewing past revisions, it looks like she has made past additions, as noted by Keefer, above. It appears someone was cleaning them up periodically, but it looks like that stopped happening, so the end of the article is starting to look a wreck.
Proposed next steps: I'm willing to work on the extant text at the bottom to clean it up, but this approach on Ellen's part has got to stop. I don't think she knows about talk pages, or assumedly she would have seen this and taken Keefer's advice to read the autobiography guidelines, and would now understand how inappropriate it is for an article's subject to be doing anything other than correcting vandalism and overt errors. Would it be just as inappropriate for me to contact her and explain what's been going wrong here? Otherwise, it seems as if this is just going to keep happening. I would also suggest to her that she perhaps designate someone on her staff to learn about Wikipedia's etiquette and policies on Biographies of Living Persons, as well as enough usage know-how to make contributions on the talk page using the  template, leaving the actual inclusion to an experienced Wikipedian. I respect her work (however, don't worry about my objectivity; I don't know her or even know all that much about her; besides, I take my Wikipedia neutrality very seriously!!) but even if I didn't, I hate to see a hinky Wikipedia page not in the active process of repair. However, ultimately it's not our responsibility to pound people's doors down to tell them to stop mucking up their pages, so if it goes on, I see no problem with just deleting any new additions that are autobiographical in origin, even if perfectly formatted and sourced (which they often haven't been thus far). Please opine; I'll check back after I've finished cleaning up what's already there as best I can (it might take me a while!). – Transitive Sam (talk) 05:48, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

text: "Gould" is an English name? If you say so. I know lots of Jewish kids I grew up with surnamed Gould. His real name is, perhaps, a Yiddish or Hebrew name, or even German or Russian. Many Jewish people lived in Eastern Europe 'til the (in my opinion) assholic Nazis killed many of them during the Holocaust. Many of their family members moved to the UK and US during the 19th and 20th centuries, most likely, like Mr. Gould's family. Or it could the other, as, in my personal case, our only Jewish family member, married in 1640, came to the English American Colonies during the 1620s, and married into the family simply because she spoke German, and, at the time, nobody could understand English, French, Spanish or American Indian languages. So, it's possible Mr. Gould's stock could've came any possible way to America, and he chose to adopt an easier name to remember, i.e. "Gould". Apple8800 (talk) 17:04, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Elliott Sharp

message: The article says "He pioneered ways of applying fractal geometry, chaos theory, and genetic metaphors to musical composition and interaction". Does anyone have any evidence for this? I doubt it's true. I suspect E#'s compositional techniques aren't that complicated, and any mathematical ideas were already well-developed by Xenakis decades earlier. But I might be wrong, so I'm not going to edit the article. A reference is what we need here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.48.42 (talk) 21:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

To establish this I'd need to see something peer-reviewed and thorough, not an interview in Guitar Player (OK some of the refs are better than that, but still). I'm not saying it's not true, just that I'm skeptical and would like to see evidence. I know Sharp's music pretty well and like it very much, but I don't think it serves him well to have claims like these made unless they're confirmed to be true.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.48.42 (talk) 20:25, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Death Reported 

message: The DetroitObit source is inconsistent with what was/is in the article from other sources in some ways:
#What is his first wife's name? This source said Beverly Decker, while others have Beverly Claire or Beverly Cline.
#What is his second wife's name? Joan Leanne Lancaster or Joan Shepard?
#The source says he divorced his third wife last December, but others do not.
#The article says he had 3 daughters and 2 sons. This source names 2 men, 2 women, and the ambiguous "Chris Leonard". Is Chris an unmarried daughter (or one who didn't take her husband's name, etc.) or is the count wrong?
#The article said 15 great grandchildren but the source said only 5. With 5 children born in the 1950s-60s (at least two of whom we know are married daughters) and 13 grandchildren born in the 1970s-80s, it seems more likely that 15 great grandchildren is correct, no?
