Talk:Derek Blasberg

Editing by article subject
If you look in the edit history there are some edits by the user "DerekBlasberg" that were properly undone by another editor. Following this, a number of different IP's have tried to restore the very same material. This is a pretty obvious case of the article subject editing the article, so I tagged it as COI.SamanthaB55 (talk) 07:44, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

This page has been edited by his assistant only with information backed up by external links, as there is no subjective information, the COI concern no longer seems relevant — Preceding unsigned comment added by DBassistant (talk • contribs) 20:17, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree. The issue with this article seems resolved for now. But if you are the assistant, and are employed or paid compensation, you must declare this on your user page. See my message on your talk page for more information. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 17:14, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

Entirely copyvio
As far as I can see, the material on the page very very closely matches the material at http://www.derekblasberg.com/.SamanthaB55 (talk) 09:42, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

Article cleanup
I am in the process of updating the existing article. I'm about halfway through cleaning up the existing citations and content, and have stripped a lot of the fluffery, which I think addresses some of the COI / copyvio issues. I am not finished, and need a few days to do the rest of the clean up as well as adding further content and sources. But I think at this point the article doesn't need to flags. Please Assume Good Faith as I am in process on this. Thanks, - Erika aka BrillLyle (talk) 14:40, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

Recent incident at Gwyneth Paltrow's home
This is all over the news although it hasn't made it to Page Six/ NY Post... yet. Paltrow told Oprah what Blasberg did at her home. I added two sentences without mentioning the ghastly "incident" but sourced his close friendship with Paltrow using two WP:RS, WP:NPOV references that cover what happened. I have no idea whether something like this belongs in a BLP of a socialite or not.-- FeralOink (talk) 08:08, 4 July 2024 (UTC)


 * It does. Wikipedia Wonderful 698-D (talk) 09:42, 6 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The story has been picked up by international outlets including Variety and the Daily Mail. I believe it does belong on the page GramercyGreats (talk) 17:44, 6 July 2024 (UTC)

 * Thanks, Wonderful 698-D and GramercyGreats. Given that Variety picked it up (thanks for link IP editor 98.248.161.240) I'll include the ahhj incident in the subject's BLP. The four of us agree.--FeralOink (talk) 04:37, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
