To add to article

Shouldn't we add that he was of Jewish heritage, and married to Jody Diamond? 98.123.38.211 (talk) 00:04, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added that he is married to Jody Diamond. DoctorMatt (talk) 03:41, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

additional biographical information

I'm not sure how to cite it, but Larry Polansky was partnered with Amy Beal for the last dozen or more years of his life; she cared for him dutifully and with unfailing commitment during the decline of his health. This article should reflect that somehow.

This information can only be added if it is included with a reference to a reliable source. DoctorMatt (talk) 18:28, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I attempted to add this as well. What is considered a reliable source for a person's relationship status? He has not been married to Jody Diamond for years (divorced around 2012 or 2013 I believe), and has been partnered with Amy Beal for over a decade. Irving bellemead (talk) 22:29, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It my attempted edit I noted that Larry Polansky and Amy Beal were "long term partners AND collaborators". That's easy to cite, given the many concerts / projects they were co-involved in. Given Beal's involvement in his creative activities, it seems reasonable and legitimate to note their relationship. Irving bellemead (talk) 22:38, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know that a reliable source for a person's relationship status is any different from any other reliable source; please see WP:RS for lots of information about the use of reliable sources on Wikipedia. A review of a work or concert in a newspaper/magazine/book that mentions their connection, for example, would likely be a reliable source. Cheers! DoctorMatt (talk) 22:43, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. The problem is that something like "living together for over a decade" is not generally included in a concert note. I'll see if I can find a biographical note in a concert program or something that does mention the relationship. Irving bellemead (talk) 22:54, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I found a clear reference in the liner notes of a CD. I have posted the edit. Thanks. Irving bellemead (talk) 23:01, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The liner notes do not support the claim of "long time partner" so I reduced what you added to what is supported by the liner notes. Cheers! DoctorMatt (talk) 00:30, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But that’s not true. It directly says “his partner”. 2601:3C7:4200:A840:300F:54E0:8CCE:B4CB (talk) 00:33, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry, I missed that. I'll revert. Thanks! DoctorMatt (talk) 00:35, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I appreciate your efforts. Irving bellemead (talk) 00:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
