Flanagan
You're welcome. =) I really liked the image; I found it at Ned Rorem's website using google images, but since Ned Rorem is still alive and we have kind of weird Misplaced Pages:Fair use restrictions in images of living persons, I figured I really had better crop it. When I cropped him out I had to crop Virgil Thomson too or it would look weird. But I think the result was still quite nice. Glad you liked it! — coelacan talk — 14:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Helping out with the Unassessed Misplaced Pages Biographies
Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with {{WPBiography}}. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

- Thank you for your comment. I can't believe I have spent most of today dealing with this issue. It's fun to get a grasp on policy though.
- BTW, unlike the marriage rumors it is not important that Gere address the gerbil legend for it to be notable. It already has notability in publications about urban legnds. Now it is known that the gerbil urban legend is also not a BLP issue it can be argued for inclusion on the following content grounds: WP:RS - sources are reliable WP:Note - legend is notable and WP:Weight not given undue weight in the article.
- In the case of significant public figures, there will be a multitude of reliable, third-party published sources to take information from, and Misplaced Pages biographies should simply document what these sources say. If an allegation or incident is notable, relevant, and well-documented by reliable published sources, it belongs in the article — even if it's negative and the subject dislikes all mention of it. If it is not documented by reliable third-party sources, leave it out. Sparkzilla 16:30, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
