I made some edits to reorder how the information about Gow's participation in adult films was presented. Someone had made edits to create a lead that was two paragraphs long that focused almost entirely on the current news story about pornography, which was completely undue weight given his decades-long academic career. To try and get ahead of it, I made a new section about the adult film controversy. I feel like that alone contributes to making the article give undue weight to the topic, but given that it's become a major news story and so what most people who have heard of him know him for right now I'm not sure how to appropriately adjust the article.

I have removed the first mention of that (and of his being a musician, which is also a rather minor point of notability), but he is certainly most notable for his firing for appearing in pornographic films, which I have left untouched. BD2412T15:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
