Your question

edit

Hi. First, when you pose a question or make a comment on a talk page, you should do that at the bottom of the page and add a proper title by prefacing it with == ==. I had a hard time finding what you'd asked. Also, when you leave a note on a user talk page, be sure to sign your addition by typing 4 tildes (~~~~).

I don't know whose addition it was that I removed from the JRM page or which one you're talking about. I am guessing you are referring to the Glenda Gilson. I removed it twice. Both times I did so, it was based on policy listed in WP:BLO which is very clear-cut regarding biographies of living persons. Some of the issues in that policy concern printing gossip and innuendo that has no substantiation, which can open up Wikipedia to liable charges.

The first time I removed it, it was worded to say that it was rumored he had a fling. The second time it said he had a fling. The problem with adding that was that there was no reference given to support the statement. When it was added the third time, there was a reference given for it. Then I only reworded it and moved her name further up in the sentence so that the reference for it didn't appear to be supporting everyone named in the sentence. You might want to check out WP:BLP for tips on what can and can't be added to biographies of living persons and how to format things. Hope this answers your question.
