Talk:Hannah Friedman

2007 Yale Playwrights Festival
I found a bunch of sources that say the 2007 Yale Playwrights Festival was won by Lauren Yee for Ching Chong Chinaman. Is that incorrect? &mdash;Largo Plazo (talk) 04:08, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I think you are right. I removed the mention of her winning the Yale Playwrights Festival, but if someone finds a source they can add it back.  Now I am wondering if she is notable enough to be included. --Megaboz (talk) 13:59, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

No one "wins" the Yale Playwrights Festival: a number of plays (say 4-6) are selected for readings. I suggest you contact anyone here http://www.yale.edu/oup/administration/theater.html for confirmation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.9.135.153 (talk) 20:26, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

The selection of a play for reading at the Yale Playwrights Festival is competitive; therefore, it is appropriate to refer to Friedman as "a winner," per the citation in the article. --January 19, 2009

POV Dispute
I added a POV dispute because I believe this article fails to adhere to the guidelines of Biographies of Living Persons. The tone fails to be dispassionate, and the page reads like a CV more than a neutral biography. The young age of the subject makes the article feel premature and self-promotional. The inclusion of the uncited sentences, "Hannah's mother worked for a time training monkeys. While in this job, she adopted a capuchin monkey named Amelia, who has lived with the family for almost thirty years," indicates that people close to the family have edited the article, indicating bias. This also constitutes original research, as it is uncited. Furthermore, the page links to the subject's Youtube page and official website in ways that seem to promote the subject more than report on her. This page may require rewriting to include biographical information compiled by journalists rather than by the subject or an interested party. -Jlederluis
 * I removed a large portion of uncited and non-neutral content, including the monkey content. Perhaps we can remove the template. (I'm just doing some clean up on NPOV articles tonight...so no rush to me!) SarahStierch (talk) 02:57, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
 * The argument above seems to be based largely on assumptions: namely, that the inclusion of uncited sentences implies that no appropriate citations are available, which in turn implies that such sentences must constitute "original research," which in turn implies that the information must have been written by people close to the family, which in turn implies bias. That's quite a lot of assumptions for one argument. I wish I were fortunate enough to be close to that fascinating family. I have, however, read the author's book, and that book can be used as a citation for all of the allegedly "original research." The information about the monkey, for example, is published and readily available; I'm not overly familiar with Wikipedia editing guidelines, but perhaps a "citation needed" notation would have been more appropriate than wholesale deletions? Revising content in order to adhere to Wiki guidelines is one thing, but simply deleting content seems to run counter to the site's purpose and reduce its encyclopedic value. I undid the previous deletion to restore the page's original content and then added a citation to the author's book to support the material about the monkey. As an objective third party and professional writer, I am also willing to conduct additional revisions such as may be deemed necessary if the previous commenters can clarify as to what, specifically, they felt was "premature," "promotional," "non-neutral," or "biased." 74.241.34.233 (talk) 16:25, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Removal of Template
Hello fellow Wikipedians, I've made the language more neutral, updated info, reduced text and added citations. The template notice is still in place but if there are deemed to be enough appropriate citations perhaps this could be reconsidered? with best wishes (Loolah (talk) 20:46, 23 January 2021 (UTC))
