Lupe Vélez

I have removed your addition to the Lupe Vélez article once again for several reasons. First, the content you added claims that "several" reports contradict the official version of Vélez's death. That wording is vague and misleading at best. Where are these "several" reports from? Are these from reputable sources? That kind of wording does not make that claim clear at all and almost presents the information as fact when it clearly is not. Further, the tale of Vélez supposedly drowning in a toilet was started by Kenneth Anger in his book Hollywood Babylon. Hardly any information from that book is correct and has been debunked by critics, authors and just about every other sane person on the planet since its' release. Anger is solely response for starting numerous rumors and untruths about nearly everyone he wrote about in those books and that is fact. In short, the drowning in a toilet thing is an urban legend (see Toilet-related injuries and deaths#Possible occurrences, Straightdope.com) and has been debunked by most, if not all, contemporary sources. I could see possibly mentioning the urban legend but to present it as fact, as you have attempted to do, is just spreading further false information.

Re: Melissa-Ashley

Hi. I didn't "denigrate" the Urban Dictionary as a source. What I did say is that it's not an acceptable reliable source because it is user driven. That's not my own personal opinion, that's fact. The website is run by volunteer editors and entries are voted on. Wikipedia does not consider user driven sites as reliable source. Again, that's not my opinion that is Wikipedia policy (WP:NOTRELIABLE). No where in my short edit summary did I even state my opinion about the site. Further, the other link you included did not support the content. This is the link you included as a citation. Unless I'm missing something, it's just a page with some pictures and some flash animation. If you include a citation, it should clearly support the content it follows and should be easy for others to verify per WP:V. If you want to add this content because it is supposedly a disservice to the reading public if it's not included here, I suggest you find some solid, reliable sources to back up your assertion that this catch phrase is part of the subject's legacy. Considering I'm not the first editor to revert your additions of this content, I would also suggest that you open a discussion on the article's talk page before you attempt to add this content again. You obviously think this content isn't trivial but two other editors (myself included) disagree. That means there's a problem somewhere and it needs to be addressed.

Look, I'm not going to sit and debate policies with you - I didn't make them. If you want to get them changed, go through the proper channels. As it stands now, Urban Dictionary is not a reliable source. It never has been and it likely never will be because it's a comedy site that publishes the definitions of slang words that regular people make up and send in. The vetting process for the site consists of other readers voting for a word or phrase to stick around. These people are not scholars, academics, writers or educators, just regular people making up stuff. That's not reliable. Further, Wikipedia itself isn't even a reliable source for pretty much the same reason. As for your video link citation, please read what I wrote above. If someone has to hunt down what you're linking to, it's not a proper citation. If your source violates Wikipedia policy in some way, you shouldn't try linking to it indirectly to bypass the policy - find another source. If you think I'm misinterpreting policy, feel free to go to WP:RSN or WP:BLPN, present all the content and sources you want to add and ask others to weigh in. I think that would be your best bet as I'm not going to change my mind about including the content or the sources and you're obviously keen to add this information for whatever reason. Good luck.

I'm not an administrator so you don't have to appeal to me. I don't have any nifty powers except rollback and review rights but that's about it. You asked why I removed some content you wrote and I was just explaining myself. If I came off with some sort of air of authority, I apologize as that was not my intent. I know editing here can be frustrating. I too was frustrated when I first started out because I thought if something could be sourced by any website or book I could find, it was worthy of inclusion. That's not always how it works here. Like I said before, if you feel strongly about the content and this it is important, go to one of the noticeboards I suggested and ask other editors. Just because two editors didn't think the content was worthy of inclusion right now doesn't mean that others won't. As for my user page, you can spruce yours up by going to Wikipedia:User page design center. Pinkadelica ^♣ 05:33, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Because that does not link to Toby, it links to someone else completely.

It links to his father's 'Personal Life' section, he worked on the movie, that's why it's interesting and noteworthy. --Judgeking (talk) 19:38, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
