I suggest that since there is no actual discussion, whoever is "disputing" the neutrality of the article might do us the gracious favor of saying why?

I'm not sure who made the post above, but I can't find any reference to a dispute. Who marked this article as being non-neutral? I am the person who originally posted the content and can absolutely verify that it was NOT the source of the article himself who posted it.

Fixed a lot of link errors and added citation references today. Peteratomic (talk) 00:10, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I added the {{pov}} tag a while ago. Apologies for not following it up on the talk page. I'm no longer certain what in particular concerned me, so feel free to remove the tag if you don't think there's a neutrality problem. (I'd ask that you leave the {{refimproveblp}} tag in place, however, as a biography of a living person of this length requires more than two references.) – Hysteria18 ^{(Talk • Contributions)} 17:44, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

NPOV and edits by subject

Just tagged as an WP:AUTOBIO. Will try to trim some promotional material on the article subject's books. Leaving a note here since the last tag got somewhat contentious. Generously (talk) 19:46, 16 October 2022 (UTC)

COI Edit request

A notice appeared on my biography requesting addition citations. The biography has been the same for eight years with the existing citations. However, someone has edited out a section about an incident that took place in 1996, where Harvey Weinstein assaulted me in a restaurant at the Sundance Film Festival. The incident had citations including Peter Biskind's book "Down and Dirty Pictures". i assume Harvey Weinstein's lawyers edited my bio in preparation for his trial in Los Angeles in November of 2022. I don't cares much about that particular part of my bio, but I would like the template message removed. Especially the notice that "Contentious material that is unsourced, that might be potentially libelous". The incident with Weinstein was widely reported in The New York Times, Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter. I do not believe the existing biography needs any further citations, but if it does, please let me know at jttaplin@icloud.com JTTaplin (talk) 18:29, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

I've moved this here from Taplin's talk page. Rusalkii (talk) 20:44, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

@JTTaplin Looking at the article, I think the tag is appropriate: for example, the entire Early Career section doesn't have a single source. If you or another editor find sources for that and other unsourced claims, then the template can be removed. That notice is not meant the imply that anything on the page is libelous. Those are general instructions for editors to check biographies especially carefully, mostly to make sure we aren't accidentally reprinting badly-sourced negative rumors. Rusalkii (talk) 20:55, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

I added the references to my early career section. Is there anything else you need? JTTaplin (talk) 23:18, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

"Teaching and writing" has only one source, which doesn't seem to cover most of the content.

Ideally, any claim that is not common knowledge should be sourced, especially in a biography. If I came across an article like this and wanted to remove an additional citations banner, I would go through it claim-by-claim and confirm that each claim is in one of the sources listed, and add a source for it if not. This is probably slightly overkill here, but that's the standard we aim for. Rusalkii (talk) 00:48, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

article problem removed, but can't remove warning

These instructions don't seem to be accurate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Maintenance_template_removal

I removed something that was being challenged as being libelous (even though it was referenced in a published book) and yet I can't find a way to remove the notice. The instructions mention removing a template tag but I don't see that anywhere within the published text. Peteratomic (talk) 08:24, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Removed BLP tag

I went back and looked at the template tags page more carefully and figured out which one (BLP) was causing the warning at the top. As previously mentioned, I removed the potentially liable (though cited) reference. Peteratomic (talk) 07:24, 23 January 2023 (UTC)
