Talk:Edward Furlong

Donations for liver transplant on Twitter
Can this be true? It looks like a hoax. Currently there is one, rather poor, source. If it was an impersonator, I guess it might still be notable, if there was wider media coverage. But we have no source for an impersonator. So perhaps it's safer to just remove it. Martinevans123 (talk) 17:44, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * That is Furlong's official Twitter account. He used to sell memorabilia via the site. (165.120.240.74 (talk) 19:31, 20 May 2016 (UTC))
 * I see. Any source to support that claim? Martinevans123 (talk) 20:18, 20 May 2016 (UTC) Purely by coincidence I see that another BT account locating to Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk was blocked for a week, at 18.31 tonight, by User:Favonian, as being an IP sock of banned User:HarveyCarter. Odd that, isn't it?
 * Indeed. Though we should be grateful that he gives Churchill, Ike et al. a break, I have chosen to invoke WP:BMB. Favonian (talk) 20:43, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Adminship can be such a trial at times, I guess. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:47, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, the good old days! Favonian (talk) 20:50, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I can never remember Leonard Sachs being quite so devious? Amazing what you can find rambling around Bury St. Eds. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:59, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

"the reductionists"
let's talk about all the sourced, relevant, FACTUAL material being CONSISTENTLY & PERSISTENTLY being removed from this blp, by certain editors?

once i've got the diffs all listed, i'll even make it an rfc, so we can all discuss it properly :)

here's a start, but it is going to be very long list, going back a number of years

that's going back to mid 2013; done for now, outof time, but will follow the page history all the way back.

basically, the bulk of these "removals" have been by a handful of editors; mainly 2 that are currently active, & who have been "tag-teaming" to win disputes & run out the clock on 3r for any one user opposing them.

& nearly all of the material being repeatedly removed by them "just so happens to be" unflattering to the subject of the biography.

& just to be clear:

NONE OF THESE ITEMS ARE IN SERIOUS "FACTUAL DISPUTE"

all of these are things that are on the public record, & were widely reported in relevant media sources @ the time; & would be well-know to ANYONE moderately well-informed about the public history of the subject-person.

the arguements being used by these editors on "validity of sources" are specious & INCONSISTENT; most items were reported in multiple sources, & the "judgements" being made on the validity of those sources, by these editors, are not based on wp or any sort of valid & consistent reasoning. endless "rs" disputes are being used as a tactic, to justify removing "undesirable" material; & the claims being made in those disputes are both inconstistent & sometimes contradictory.

busy now, will deal with the rfc & the rest of the diffs, the next time i am back on here.

 * It's a BLP. WP:BLP "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives; the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. This policy applies to any living person mentioned in a BLP, whether or not that person is the subject of the article, and to material about living persons in other articles and on other pages, including talk pages.[b] The burden of evidence rests with the editor who adds or restores material".


 * Actors careers have ups and downs and often tail off as they get middle aged, and his BLP cannot say Furlong has not kept appearing in "significant roles" or in big budget or high profile movies (a level most actors never get close to even once) because of substance abuse and legal troubles. We don't know that is true, so we cannot state it as such in a BLP.  Overagainst (talk) 21:38, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
