Talk:Colin Goddard

Cleanup/Expansion
Being familiar with the person at hand, I stumbled onto this article and found it in rather sketchy shape. Since it's a BLP, the whole thing could've been blanked out en masse or AfD'd by the wrong person. I won't generally write/research too extensively (it's open to endless reinterpretation, mishandling, erasure and aggravation), but this subject is quite notable and thus provides a strong case for proactively maintaining the article. I've cited and expanded things, but it still needs work, and I've tagged it as such. Hopefully it's now able to withstand the aforementioned attacks edits, should those kinds drive by.

In addition, the overall tone (cf. before my edits) sounded almost like original research, possibly someone in direct contact with the subject. We should encourage them, or the person himself, to participate &mdash; specifically, verifying what has been written so far, and correcting any misstatements of fact. However, such an editor must also be mindful of the primary sources trap, not to mention all the fun of BLP itself.

I'll be watching this page and can offer editing help to anyone who may be new to WP. Peace out. 11:09, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
