editI can understand how pissed off you are ... the Foundation is being understandably cautious about living people's biographies.
In the quest to get things absolutely right, we do have a responsibility to be cautious. As such, we need to take the last version of the page and make sure that every sentence and statement of fact is correctly referenced right there inline in the article. Preferably with multiple references. Then we have something that fits the WP:LIVING guideline perfectly: neutral in tone, with all facts put in because they are relevant, and all facts unimpeachably referenced.
We don't need it done in the next hour; he's challenged the article seriously, so it does behoove us to double-check every word and make sure we really could defend every last dot in court if called upon to do so. As such, probably the best thing to do is get the temp version and nail the references for every last fact.
(heck, we might even make it good enough to be a front-page feature ;-)
Mr Thompson may or may not be correct in his assertions about the article, but we don't lose anything by taking our time to Get It Right. Which is what we really want to achieve, after all. - David Gerard 12:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
