Talk:Rahsaan Patterson

message: Continued removal of the references to Patterson as a homosexual or his romantic relationship with singer Tevin Campbell will be considered acts of vandalism and those making such edits will be issued a warning. Whatever your issue with this fact is, it is nonetheless a relevant fact, and it's removal is inappropriate. Pacian 03:40, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That was quite out of order. As revealed below you were insisting on the addition of unsourced material and then calling people who wanted sources vandals. That was uncivil, against several policies and an implied personal attack. You owe everyone an apology. Cloachland 03:31, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

text: They are gay lovers. I am changing the wording to be accurate. Pacian 20:44, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

text: You also don't request a citation for the same fact as stated on the Tevin Campbell page. Campbell was outed when he was arrested for soliciting a police officer 1. Pacian 16:57, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Editing of this page/Vandalism

message: Per Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies (and Wikipedia general guidelines, really), we cannot categorize him as gay without sources. I have, however, left the info in Trivia section with specific reference tags until it can be sourced. Please note that if anyone else decides to remove the info altogether, it is NOT VANDALISM and entirely appropriate. I could actually be sleeping with him myself, but without a verifiable source (magazine, TV program, etc) it cannot be added to the article. TAnthony 00:44, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone else removed the following unsourced statement, I'm preserving it here for possible later use.
*Patterson has an alleged romantic partnership with musician Tevin Campbell.
Quite correct, of course it needs sources, even if it is allegedly common knowledge in some circles. Cloachland 03:29, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

message: So Patterson's personal life has been added back in.  And the source given *implies* that he's gay, though he doesn't come out and say it.  I'm inclined to remove the info unless a better reference can be found? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 03:45, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
