Talk:Jed Mercurio

Jed Mercurio

I would like to query some of the edits made on this page. I am writing in my capacity as Jed Mercurio's agent.

I'd love to hear what needs to be 'cleaned up' about the awards section which has now been removed. I think the opinion of the editor - Rayman60 - who removed the section is that these awards ought not to be listed here when they are for the show Jed Mercurio created (ie Best Series) rather than individual writer awards. However, many of these awards that have now been removed were for Jed as an individual - eg the Broadcasting Press Guild Writer's Award, RTS, Writers' Guild and BAFTA best writer nominations. In addition the citation of many of the awards includes Jed as one of the recipients. I'd like to ask that the suitable awards be reinstated?

Further, I would be happy to hear what needs to be edited to satisfy that the page has a 'neutral point of view' per the warning now added.

For ease, please see awards below:

I posted a link on your page about activity related to someone with whom you have a paid relationship and it is absolutely imperative that you read and familiarise yourself with it, then make the necessary declarations in the appropriate manner. The issues are some awards are not notable, some are general awards for the works he's associated with rather than individual awards, and none are referenced. The list is excessive and manner in which they were added i.e. by a family member, indicate the motivation behind the list was undue promotion of the subject by a connected party. Rayman60 (talk) 02:55, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for coming back to me. I saw what you posted and this is my attempt to do as you ask - I have been open about my relationship with the subject here and elsewhere. I have posted the full list of awards that he has been nominated for, and won, and as you suggest I should not edit myself I am asking openly for the awards deemed relevant and acceptable to be added by a neutral contributor - references can be clearly found on the websites of each award. JStewart13 (talk) 09:29, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Further to this, please do edit or 'clean up' the page in full as you feel necessary to then justify removing the warning at the top of the page. Again, as I ought not to edit myself, I am very happy for any contributor to remove anything they feel is biased or inappropriate in anyway, and once neutral ground has been reached the warning can also be removed.

@JStewart13: It seems User:Rayman60 has overlooked your response. I have restored the list of awards and nominations, which does not seem unduly promotional, and compares with, for example, that in Steven Moffat#Awards and nominations. What we do need is to ensure that each entry is cited, and so if you can supply links to independent sources that verify the claims, that would help. Please see also Wikipedia:About you for details of how you can make available an image and audio recording of Jed (and any of your other clients!).

Career

I am Jed Mercurio's agent - hoping to start a convo as before, in the interest of having the warning about point of view removed.

I propose that if no one is interested in carrying out small edits in order to achieve the neutrality needed, and I ought not to do this myself, that someone remove the whole career section and simply replace it with Jed's filmography and bibliography. Nothing there could be disputed, so that would leave the page in the best, most neutral position.

JStewart13 (talk) 09:44, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for this, I have edited what I think violates the point of view warning.

Does anyone else have any other issues before I remove the warning? Milliyay (talk) 10:30, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Content is source by The Guardian and other wp:Reliable sources. Why should it be removed? Jim1138 (talk) 10:43, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

Ok sure happy to defer to you - just was trying to work out why that warning was up there on this page, what do you think needs to be removed/ made to clear ? Milliyay (talk) 15:30, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

@Milliyay: The notice was added by Rayman60 as the page was being edited by JStewart13 who is Mercurio's agent and has a wp:conflict of interest. Interesting that you should show up with a new account shortly thereafter and focus exclusively on this article. Jim1138 (talk) 21:46, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

• To remove the tag, the article should be gone over and any content deemed promotional should be removed. COIs typically add promotional content and remove negative content. But not always. See the links on the WP:CLEANUPTAG at the article top. wp:BLP and wp:DUE apply. Jim1138 (talk) 21:53, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

I've been over the article and I can't see any content that does not look reasonable. If no one else raises a specific issue, I'll remove the tag in a day or two. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:14, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. Let me know if there is anything else, and if not I do hope the tag may be removed. JStewart13 (talk) 14:32, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
