Your edits to the article for Joe Rogan
editHello, Ecelon, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.
IMDB is not a reliable source as it, like Wikipedia, can be edited by anyone. For now I've removed your citation and added a "citation needed" tag but since it's a potential biography of a living person issue, it's entirely appropriate for anyone to remove that claim.
- A fundamental principle on Wikipedia is that every claim must be verifiable to a reliable source by its readers. That's why we need good sources and need to be specific in how we present that information to the readers so that they can verify that information.
- Also, to your question, free wifi is available in many locations and I have my own laptop. SQGibbon (talk) 13:05, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- I've gone ahead and removed this information entirely as per WP:BLP. I do not feel that a "citation needed" tag is sufficient. This article is about Joe, not his wife, and her privacy should be respected. I also am a regular listener of Rogan's podcast and he very very rarely makes any mention of his wife or children, and I have never heard him mention his wife's family name nor year of birth. Having said that, it is possible I missed it when he said it, so if you can cite the episode, preferably with the time stamp at which the event occurs, then feel free to add it back to the article. Heck, if you have an idea as to which episode it's in I would gladly listen again to see if I can hear it.
- I'm not sure if you are aware, but this article originally listed his wife as being Robert Shimmel's daughter and I finally removed that sentence last October after tying to find a suitable reference supporting that info. I couldn't even find one article that mentioned her first name, let alone her family name. I don't think it is a coincidence that it is so hard to find references to Rogan's wife's identity in mainstream media, or even a picture of her for that matter. She would appear to be uninterested in the spotlight and we should respect her privacy. --Marchije•speak/peek 23:00, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
