message: Ok guys, we're stepping on each other toes and editing over each other constantly, making this page hard to keep in line. Everyone slow down, lets keep it simple and ensure the page remains sourced and clean. Killswitch Engage (talk) 06:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: A suggestion I'd make is that unless you are editing the intro, do edit on the section header, rather than on the whole page. A couple of years ago they updated the software to (mostly) sort out section specific edits so unless the conflict is in the same section it won't pop up an edit conflict. It's not perfect but that may help a bit. Cat-fivetc  ---- 06:10, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

message: We have no way of knowing what the writers of Glee are going to do about the Finn character so my first instinct is to leave the tenses as is. That being said, it looks so odd having that be the one present tense section when everything else has been changed to past tense. Anyone have any thoughts? Cat-fivetc  ---- 06:18, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It definitely looks weird, but I say leave it until we see what Glee does with the character. Killswitch Engage (talk) 06:26, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks fine to me. Finn is a fictional character so the tense is dependent solely on what the writers of the series decide to do with the character. In some bizarre world, they could even decide to carry on a character with another actor.  Taroaldo ✉ 10:56, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a good point. I guess until September or whenever the premier is, since I'm assuming this will be dealt with immediately, it should stay as is even if that means it is out of step with the rest of the article. If Fox or some other reputable source says they're killing him off though then we should probably consider changing it. Cat-fivetc  ---- 14:57, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Regardless of whether he is written out or dies on the show, and even after he is dead, it's correct to say "Finn IS a fictional character", just as correct as saying "Jacob Marley is a fictional character". 76.91.14.191 (talk) 01:30, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Edit request on 16 July 2013 

message: Why are these considered encyclopedic? Yes, these people said these things, and they were printed in various reliable secondary sources, but Monteith's publicist (an employee): how is this useful information? Will it still be a part of the article in a week or a month from now? Do other bios include such statements after a death? Monteith was well liked and is being mourned, but I don't see how such information adds to the encyclopedic content of the article. It reads like filler, and not useful filler at that. This is why I've been removing it from the article. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:58, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Keep removing it. --Malerooster (talk) 13:31, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

text: I am not sure what leads you to think being encyclopedic means the most commonly cited reactions to a person's unexpected death must be excluded. To be clear, you're talking about a mere 2 sentences, all with very high-profile news sources which reported them. I understand that we should be vigilant not to let a recently deceased celebrity's article become a memorial, but this is hardly a case of that. I don't see how either of these quotes in the article are excessive—they make more sense than neglecting to mention any of the many reactions to the death, which are now part of the history of this subject. The comments by the network whose show was the overwhelming source of his notability and which he was still set to star in seems fairly relevant to me; I don't see any basis to deny the inclusion of something so widely reported on just because you find that kind of material distasteful. Dominic·t 01:58, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm terribly sorry, but where did I say the material was distasteful? I said it read like (not useful) filler, and I still believe that. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:47, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

text: I concur with BlueMoonset here. The quotes are not distasteful (I actually find them quite sweet), but they serve no real purpose in furthering the encyclopedia article. It really does read like filler. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 06:18, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Tasteful: 'Monteith was "good friends" with singer Taylor Swift, who was "speechless" when she heard of his death.' {cites omitted).  Distasteful: 'Monteith and Swift are never, ever, ever getting back together.' Bearian (talk) 20:38, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Publicist and other quotes of condolence 

message: According to the article, "there is no evidence to suggest Mr. Monteith’s death was anything other than a most tragic accident." (I am quoting the article.) However, the Wikipedia article of Cory Monteith says that "his death appears to have been accidental". What the official report and the Wikipedia article say differ substantively. Joycecohen44 (talk) 00:05, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed.  I don't see the conflict.  One says it is nothing other than an accident and the other says it is an accident.  Those are two ways of saying the same thing.  RudolfRed (talk) 02:22, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

text: Lack of evidence to the contrary (suicide note, evidence of someone else's involvement) usually suggests that an overdose is accidental. --Six words (talk) 22:02, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm not taking a stance one way or another but please discuss whether the section "Death" should be a subheader of the personal life or a top level header before continuing to change it. I'm not trying to assert any type of overt control but as a reader as well as an editor it is incredibly disconcerting to come back to this article and each time see it different from the last and such edit wars over design, not content, serve no useful purpose.
