So "Bookworm" ... what you are saying in effect is that you take anything anyone says about someone else and that becomes GOSPEL and true and legal documentation does not apply ! What s rediculous method of substantiating FACT ! I see that you have REMOVED once again the facts that I posted - so be it. Please be aware that there has already been and continues to be communication and monitoring of this site by our Attorney amd members of Wikipedia. Why don't YOU have the courtesy to CONTACT me directly (you know how and where) and IDENTIFY yourself ... or are you afraid of being identified ? I have forwarded copies of my changes AND your changes again to our Attorney. They will handle the situation from this point. It simply did what they requested and made factual changes - the fact the YOU have chosen once again to REMOVE those facts clearly shows that you and/or Wikipedia are NOT interested in FACTS. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Abbatia (talk • contribs).
- No, I do not want to contact you. As I said on the talk page of the article, if I or someone else did contact you directly, any information you provided to me couldn't be used according to the rules of Wikipedia forbidding "no original research." You CAN submit a personal statement to Wikipedia under its rules attesting to the facts you want presented. Your statement was used to edit the original version of the article in April. Apparently you are no longer happy with that version three months later, so you should submit another statement if you wish to. If the Chicago Tribune article IS incorrect and the paper printed a correction, as I'm sure you must have demanded if it was incorrect, you can cite that correction as a published source. Wikipedia requires that any information in an article be verifiable. Otherwise, anyone could claim to be the subject of an article and add incorrect information. The information that was included in both the original version of the article and in the current version cited The Chicago Tribune article and the columns by Matt Abbott. Both are verifiable sources that others can go back and check. The Chicago Tribune is considered a trustworthy newspaper. I do not write articles on Wikipedia without citing exactly where I got the information.--Bookworm857158367 17:25, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Ryan St. Anne Scott The information in the current version of this article is all from published, cited sources, including the Chicago Tribune article and the column by Matt Abbott. All information about a living person HAS to be backed up with published, cited sources. Additional information was taken from the personal statement that you submitted. What you're adding doesn't appear to be from a published source. If you are Ryan St. Anne Scott, what you probably need to do is submit yet another personal statement to Wikipedia as you did before, attesting to the facts about your life that you want to include in the article. Otherwise, it can't be allowed under the rules of Wikipedia. Otherwise, anyone could come along and insert false information into this article by making the claim they were you. You can't remove negative information if it is accurate. Did you request and did the Chicago Tribune publish a retraction of the information you claim is inaccurate? If so, cite the retraction. --Bookworm857158367 12:54, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
