Conflict[edit]

I'd like to open discussion here over the edit war that's going on on the page regarding his conviction. Coming from my biased side of the field, I'm apt to think of it as an attempt to downplay his arrest and conviction in the article. That's just my impression based on the edits I've seen. It's an assumption of bad faith on my part, and I'm probably wrong. Sorry about that.

But any thoughts about the article? ALI nom nom 19:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


I also get the impression it as an attempt to downplay his arrest and conviction in the article. I'm led to assume the removals of references are of bad faith. Some changes were justly made to article when a jury acquitted Jassy of some of the charges. The recent attempt to rename the "Arrest and prosecution" section to "Personal Life" was a good indication of the sugar coating attempt. Ericboyd (talk) 19:24, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I was the one who changed it from "Arrest and prosecution" to "Personal life". But I disagree that it was to try to "water it down" or "sugar coatng" him. I think an artist has basically two lives: his artistic life or musical career, if you want, and his "personal life" meaning all the rest that has nothing to do with his music (family, educaton, origins, girl friends, run ins with the law, financial problems etc). From that stand point, the term "personal life" is so much more representative and neutral language, whereas "arrest and prosecution" sounds so aggressive and immediately desposes one to be so much against this guy and simply concentrate on the consequences of a 5-minute incident, because this is what it does the way it looks now, a 5-minute incident, an irrelevant small part of an artist's life who has spent thousands upon thousands of hours of time effort and innovation and creativity and a lot of compassion to help striving artists to just concentrate on a 5-minute incident done when he was caught in the circumstance and obviously regrets by now. True, it had a catastrophic effect on the victim John Osnes that lost his life, but things happen. In any case, we should keep what is essential essential. People come in here mostly to know about his music. The fact of the matter is, I want people to read about David Jassy like this great talented artist who in a matter of few seconds of misjudgement "screwed up" his artistic life, not as some thug who goes on murdering people, and oh yes, he had done some music on the side. Staying on this page has made me hugely uncomfortable as you wouldn't believe. It has been tasking on my spirit and quite a heavy burden on my soul. It has effected me heavily and I dread whenever I return to it. It is just too much for me. Yet I cannot leave it if I try. This is because I have developed a huge liking to almost everything David Jassy did musically from day one. I think he has great talent and utter charisma. So I stay... (i have done 116 edits to it and the next in line has just 39... Even writing right now has made me so sad and I don't have a desire of taking part in any further discussions. I 'll just read and take in what other colleagues say... that's all. Yes, I am hugely interested on what the page turns like). I stay to keep the right balance in the article. I didn't even know about him before the incident, but yet by now I have listened to hundreds and hundreds of times to his works with the Navigators, with Darin who I was introduced simply because of Jassy's work, and every day I discover new stuff that is truly impressive, if not incredible... and I am intent on trying to reflect this on the page as much as possible, because he does need a break and compassion. And he will be hopefully be given the chance to pursue a sort of a musical career even in jail. I think this is possible and he can become a huge source of inspiration to so many, because he is such a charismatic guy that effects people he touches. He has proven it in the free world, now he can prove it behind bars as well and become this super support and uplifting character to others inside who need such a talented motivated guy. And yes I now adore his work. In time you will realize the term "Personal life" is by far better than the pre-judgmental "Arrest and prosecution". Having said that, I am not in favour of deleting the section like "Ifyousayso" is doing. I have a feeling this gentleman is from the organization or business concern that David Jassy runs, or he is a close family relative or an acquaintance, a real close person. I admire his dedication to defend his friend or business partner or whatever, I am sure he is closely related to David Jassy (it is so obvious) and I sympathize, but this is not the way of editing Wikipedia pages. I admire Ifyousayso for being courageous and determined. But it is counter-productive. The account is, I believe, simply created to protect his friend in his toughest time, that's all. If I were him, I would improve on presentations to his artistic aspects on the page. And yes, correct some legal inaccuracies which he is doing I feel trying to point out to us over and over, emphasizing technical legal aspects of the case, and that we were inaccurate in reporting it. But as I said, concentrating on his music aspect and improving on it will be far better. This way he would have done something good to improve the page and better present his proper artistic image. werldwayd (talk) 03:46, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
about the personal life heading: If there were actual details about his family, education, origins, relationships, legal and/or financial issues here, then I would suggest putting the "Arrest and prosecution" section under the fleshed out "Personal life" section, however there is little more than linking to catagories. It is hinted in the existing refs that he has a son, perhaps that would be a good place to start? Ericboyd (talk) 15:00, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


(to Werldwayd) If that's the case, then you have a massive conflict of interest. I appreciate your efforts to protect David Jassy, but you have to understand that your position tacks a lot of bias on your contributions to this sensitive subject. ALI nom nom 17:57, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I will refrain then from editing on this page for now until a reasonable time. "Active interest" in something never means "conflict of interest". It is mainly on people with such an active interest in a subject that we have well-developed pages in Wikipedia. If all people are disenterested emotionless generalists, hardly anything decent will come out as they lack the interest anyhow to even spend a few seconds on ANY subject. Meanwhile I am leaving you to handle this page whichever way you see fit. Hopefully you will have genuine long-term interest rather than this one-time so-called "edit war" werldwayd (talk) 23:14, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's not that, it's that several quotes from your response: "...every day I discover new stuff that is truly impressive, if not incredible... and I am intent on trying to reflect this on the page as much as possible, because he does need a break and compassion..." "I want people to read about David Jassy like this great talented artist who in a matter of few seconds of misjudgement "screwed up" his artistic life, not as some thug who goes on murdering people, and oh yes, he had done some music on the side..." That's your intention. Our job is to write an encyclopedic article, present all the facts, and remain impartial regarding who is right. We have to remain neutral and allow people to decide for themselves based on all the facts. ALI nom nom 23:30, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Should his eligibility for parole in 2024 be added? Ericboyd (talk) 21:18, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! Do you want to add that? I'm not sure of the source. ALI nom nom 23:41, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Meanwhile he is making good work in prison Youthful Offender Program (or Y.O.P.) and had his own live session through TEDxSanQuentin with "Freedom". werldwayd (talk) 12:43, 2 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lead[edit]

Concerning the lead, I can understand what you're saying. But the lead does act as a concise overview of everything in the article that is notable (for this person, his musical work and his arrest are both evidence of notability.) If we're keeping the musical info in the lead, see why we should keep the sentence about his arrest, too? (Also check out Wikipedia:Lead section and Wikipedia:Lead#Biographies. ALI nom nom 19:16, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This might be a great solution actually. The lead intro would be basically a one line intro and all the rest goes within the general text. Say the intro would say: David Moses Jassy (born on 11 April 1974 in Solna, Sweden [1]) is a Swedish musician, songwriter and music producer. End of intro.... All the rest would be incorporated withinthe text below. This way, probably a clear reference to his arrest can be avoided. I think this is a very valid way out of this edit conflict werldwayd (talk) 23:29, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Whoa, no! We can't "try to avoid a clear reference of his arrest." That's an attempt to downplay it! Between that and changing the section header to "Personal life", any reader wouldn't even know of his conviction unless they looked hard enough! Tomorrow his sentence will have begun, and we'll have to change the article to reflect that. Under no circumstances are we going to try and censor his arrest for murder!
