Talk:Roland Perry

message: Att: YellowMonkey
With the complete deletion of Roland Perry content that you have done on three occasions the Adminstrator has locked the page for dispute resolution.
One user requested that the Roland Perry content be edited to remove facts that were not verified.  This is a helpful suggestion.  I have now studied the WikiPedia policy on Biographies_of_living_persons and believe that I can edit the content to that style.
YellowMonkey, please join with me in requesting that the Roland Perry page be unlocked by the Adminstrator so that I can make editing changes and then I would welcome your higher level editing skills to develop the material.

replies: text: OK, well, I've retrieved some of the more obviously necessary (biographical) and sourced material that YellowMonkey deleted, plus a good chunk of the summary of the literary career, losing a lot of far-too-lengthy exposition of critical reception. In some cases sources could be improved. How's this look? Rd232 talk 15:52, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

text: Rd232 That's a great synthesis.  Appreciate you bringing to bear your objectivity and higher-level editing.  +I have updated the first para; author Roland Perry is onto his 23rd book now.  Would also appreciate following up with any questions on how to improve the content and if any further disputes brewing. Haruspex101 (talk) 00:38, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. You wrote a lot of good stuff - but it was just too long. If you want to reintroduce other material, I suggest you do that slowly and/or propose specific things here. For improving the article, at the moment I think focus on the lead - it could be a slightly better summary, and read better. If you're feeling ambitious for the article as a whole you could head to Wikipedia:Good articles for advice. Rd232 talk 02:20, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Dispute resolution

message: OK, part of the problem here is that there are too many changes; it's hard to see what's going on. I'm going to have a crack at reviewing the changes and some editing. First point already done: the Cricket Society "commendation" (not actually an award I think) doesn't seem to have a solid source, so we should leave it out unless one turns up.

replies: text: Well, I'm sorry to say I just don't have the time or patience to sort this out. YellowMonkey, in removing some unsourced and unnecessary stuff and some unsourced and necessary stuff (the latter esp from the Career section) and introducing probably excessive criticism, made a mess of the article structurally (diff) and created WP:NPOV / WP:UNDUE issues in terms of the criticism. I've removed the criticism summary from the lead as WP:SYN, but this clearly needs more work. Rd232 talk 08:53, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
