Talk:George Biondo

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

Approved by George Biondo?

I have chosen not to revert some edits made by 75.56.192.241 while rewriting the article, adding more information and making it more a little more chronological. Though I have no way of knowing it for a fact, I am fairly confident Mr. Biondo did actually approve of the edits made evident on the history page, and while I have and will try to respect his wishes to leave some biographical information out of the article, I reserve the right to make edits should the need arise.

From editor assistance/requests page

I have made some significant contributions to the article about George Biondo of Steppenwolf, which a user claims Mr. Biondo has a problem with. I believe that Mr. Biondo really is concerned, but with what I don't know. I've allowed his birthdate and succession box in the band to go away, but the user who is acting on behalf of Mr. Biondo keeps reverting everything else in the process, explaining that it falls under the aegis of "George doesn't like it", though I can't discern why. It is my understanding that Wikipedia is not a self-promotion website, and unless libelous or otherwise inaccurate, the information should stay and is fair game, given that George Biondo is a public person.

Read WP:BLP (especially this section, and also this) and then respond. J-ſtan^Talk_Contribs 19:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What if I go back and source all the edits I made? As an aside, none of the material is inflammatory in the slightest ... just more information than was there before Lars951 (talk) 20:02, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(EC) Your edits do not seem as unconstructive as I had previously thought. The IP seems to believe that because it's about Mr. Biondo, he can choose what goes in. Still, it's good material to look at. I have talked with the "representative". If you choose to source your edits, you can't be at any fault, but you don't really have to.

If the material is not subject to the privacy section of BLP, then it is fair game. If this "representative" really wants to own the article, point them towards the noticeboard and they will get short shrift. And I have to point out that you do need to cite your sources for all but the least questionable and/or most obvious statements, particularly in a BLP. Adrian M.

The version that's up now is the other guy's ... I'm working on my version with references and citations ... but it'll be a few days... Lars951 (talk) 23:51, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you can't find sources for an edit, remove it. Thanks Adrian, I just noticed that the whole page is unrefed (and now tagged for such), so it is definitely a good idea to reference. J-ſtan^Talk_Contribs 02:43, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
