PR

Most of this article reads like a PR fluff piece. Perhaps now that he's gotten his noteriety for his mean spirited and insulting voice message some critical analysis of this article can be done. Dwain (talk) 23:05, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

That's probably because DC Douglas took part in the editing of his WP:BLP early on, and has probably continued it under various socks/IP's. MookieG (talk) 23:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I've issued a conflict of interest warning on DC's talk page. I may do the same for any and all IP addresses he has used. Hopefully, we can get this issue taken care of and continue to improve this BLP. MookieG (talk) 18:23, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Apparent Subject Editing Article

The apparent subject of the article keeps editing the article. Is this still frowned upon? I noticed he removed sourced information as well as some no so flattering news that has been widely reported. Shouldn't he refrain from this? Nobody wants to harm the subject's reputation, but the information this editor is removing has been widely reported in the national news. I suggest that the subject speak to an Admin instead of editing out sourced info. Thanks. Dwain (talk) 02:51, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Edit warring

Due to recent edit warring this page has been protected for a week. Please use the time to come to a consensus here on what should and shouldn't be included, and request unprotection if agreed before the end of that time. Stifle (talk) 10:22, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering why you gave this article full protection, without first trying semi-protection. Most of the disruption I've observed was vandalism by anonymous IP editors. DC Douglas was is the only editor disputing content, semi-protection would've at least forced him to sign on before editing. Either way, it didn't seem to warrant full protection, especially when it wasn't first requested on Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection, and prior to semi-protection. Perhaps you should reconsider the decision to lock this article down. MookieG (talk) 18:11, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

• I see, so Misplaced Pages is now kowtowing to subjects of articles! I notice you left out this guys recent actions that have been widely reported in the media. Of course, Mr. Douglas doesn't want bad press in his article. Apart from his name which is being reported as Lance Baxter, I feel that Mr. Douglas' actions are of note and should be mentioned. Is Misplaced Pages now in the policy of letting actors use the site to promote themselves without any possible negative mentions? If so, then the whole idea of an unbiased encyclopedia is just a bunch of garbage, right? Dwain (talk) 15:29, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

The fact that he got fired is notable and reported all over the Internet. I don't understand what there is to talk about.

OMG he reverted again. Fix, lock and ban. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.180.149.70 (talk) 20:13, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

If you think it's a puff article, then let's delete the whole damn thing. But first understand the ONLY reason this became news was due yto MY press release. All info used in other media outlets camer from my press release, or Huffington Post (who had an initial error in their post) or from Matt kibbe's post (which was fraught with errors, conflations, etc) I have only tried to protect this page from the various outright vandalism and misinformation (see the sexual and juvenile corrections). i.e. my name being Lance Baxter (false)! Any cursory research would unearth the character name in both a cabaret show and a film I produced. Also, just writing that I was fired for calling FreedomWorks peopel mentally retarded killers is only echoing an incorrect conflation by Matt Kibbe and his post. Just listen to the actual voice mail and you will NOT hear that phrase whatsoever. In fact, there aren't any statements, only questions. I just entered a very level-headed "controversy section" regarding this. If you think I'm looking for PR puff, then let's delete the whole damn thing because making sure you don't write like angry 5th graders is tiresome. But I will not allow misinformation and slights against my family and my sexuality for the pure fun of the wiki community (the whole unbiased issue being a bit laughable considering the entries made). And it is apparent that Mookie and perhaps even Dwain may have their own political agendas, as well. I would hope that;s not the case, but if it isn't, their contributions regarding the events should've been much more balanced and researched. Just because FOX reported something doesn't make it fact.
