Talk:Joel Gallen

updating information
Hello! I'm looking to update some information on my wikipedia page. I want to remove some information that I no longer want to be shared and remove information that is incorrect. I was also hoping I could add some new information.

I was told I needed to talk to someone on my talk page about changing any information. I have tried to change the information myself several times, but every time it has reverted back to its original page. I was hoping I could discuss the changes I need to make with someone on my talk page in order for my page to be more accurate. Joeltenthplanet (talk) 20:35, 25 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @Joeltenthplanet. You can certainly request that information be removed, but Wikipedia has a lot of policies about what should or should not be included in a biography of a living person, and as long as those policies are not violated, the information will probably remain. It usually comes down to whether the information is reliably sourced and relevant. Please point out anything that is incorrect and others will determine whether it should be removed. If you wish to add information, please include a reliable source to back up the addition.
 * Here is a link to the edit request wizard: link. You can use it to make edit requests; they will be automatically flagged for attention by other editors. The shorter and plainer you make your requests, the easier they will be for others to evaluate and implement. "Remove/add this sentence: [X] from/to this section: [Y] based on this reason/source: [Z]" is a good format to follow. 199.208.172.35 (talk) 21:05, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi. I wrote on my talk page the information I want removed/added last week and have not gotten a response. The major thing I need to have removed is my birth year. I was talking to someone earlier last week and they said they removed it but it is still there. Please let me know what else I can do to get my information changed as soon as possible.

 * Hi, just wanted to say that I think it was me you had the conversation about birth years with, but I think you misinterpreted what I said - I wrote (on your Talk page) "Your son's name and year of birth have already been removed" and you responded "You're incorrect, my son's name is gone, but my birth year is still there". I was referring to your son's year of birth, which I removed per WP:BLPPRIVACY. I'll leave the request edit for others at the moment but wanted to clarify that. Tacyarg (talk) 23:07, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi, im really not understanding why you removed my birthdate and not the year when I wanted the exact opposite and explained that several times on my talk page and to other authors. I understand there is a source that is attached, but I would like that removed as well. Anything that has to do with my birth year can be removed. Please remove it, it is private to me and I do not want it to be shared. Joeltenthplanet (talk) 17:46, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Joel Gallen Wikipedia page- update information

 * What I think should be changed (include citations): please remove my birthday listed in the first sentence as well as in the box on the right hand side. If you can not remove my whole birthday, please just remove the year. Someone said they already did it but it is still up in both places.

I would like to add this information in the second paragraph after the first sentence ending with 9/11 attacks. - More recently, Joel executive produced and directed the 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, marking the 20th time he's helmed that show. Inductees included Dolly Parton, Judas Priest, Eminem, Lionel Richie, the Eurythmics and Duran Duran. Here is the cite that proves this information. https://www.rockhall.com/37th-annual-rock-roll-hall-fame-induction-ceremony-debuts-november-19-hbo#:~:text=1974%20and%201984-,The%2037th%20Annual%20Rock%20%26%20Roll%20Hall%20of%20Fame%20Induction%20Ceremony,Austin%20and%20director%20Joel%20Gallen

Following that last change, I would like to start a new paragraph stating my upcoming shows this year.- In the first quarter of 2023, Joel is helming 3 big shows. In February, he’s directing and executive producing a Grammy Salute to the Beach Boys for CBS. Then on March 4, he’s directing and executive producing the first ever live global event on Netflix – Chris Rock: Selective Outrage. On March 27, he’s executive producing the iHeart Radio Music Awards for the 5th year in a row.

Beach boys cite- https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/grammy-salute-the-beach-boys-2023-1235198488/ Chris Rock cite- https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/chris-rock-netflix-special-selective-outrage-release-date-1235287409/ iHeart cite- https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/2023-iheart-radio-awards-nominations-1235196807/

In my filmography section, I would like to add Chris Rock: Selective Outrage 2023 (Live on Netflix) - my position is Executive Producer/Director (same citation for this). Underneath that, I would also like to add Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert 2022 (Paramount +) - position Executive Producer/Director (citation- https://foofighters.com/news/taylor-hawkins-tribute-concert-updates-how-to-watch-artists-added-charities-announced/)

Lastly, I would like to take out the last sentence about living in Los Angeles with my son.


 * Why it should be changed: I understand there are citations under my birthday but it is my personal information that I longer want to share.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is one of my shows that pasted this November and want it to be listed in my biography.

I would like to add the next shows I will be working on to make my information more up to date and accurate.

My Filmography needs to be updated with my upcoming shows as well as shows that have just recently pasted.

I do not want people knowing where I live or have any information on my family. Joeltenthplanet (talk) 23:12, 25 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Per WP:DOB "If a subject complains about our inclusion of their date of birth, or the person is borderline notable, err on the side of caution and simply list the year, provided that there is a reliable source for it." which to me means we must at least include the year since it has a source. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:31, 30 January 2023 (UTC)


 * can't the source be removed? why does it need to stay if the information that proves the source needs to be removed. I have explained this before and would like my year taken down. It is private and would not like it to be shared. thank you. Joeltenthplanet (talk) 17:48, 10 February 2023 (UTC)


 * What I think should be changed (include citations): In the first sentence where it states my birthday, it should not say the year or be removed completely. I will also like it removed from the box to the right of the page.

Please add his information in the second paragraph after the first sentence ending with 9/11 attacks. - "More recently, Joel executive produced and directed the 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, marking the 20th time he's helmed that show. Inductees included Dolly Parton, Judas Priest, Eminem, Lionel Richie, the Eurythmics and Duran Duran."

Please add this information following the last change- I would like to start a new paragraph stating my upcoming shows this year.- "In the first quarter of 2023, Joel is helming 3 big shows. In February, he’s directing and executive producing a Grammy Salute to the Beach Boys for CBS. Then on March 4, he’s directing and executive producing the first ever live global event on Netflix – Chris Rock: Selective Outrage. On March 27, he’s executive producing the iHeart Radio Music Awards for the 5th year in a row."

Please add this information in my filmography section- "Chris Rock: Selective Outrage 2023 (Live on Netflix)" - my position is "Executive Producer/Director" (same citation for this, make this the first row). Underneath that, I would also like to add "Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert 2022 (Paramount +)" - position "Executive Producer/Director"

Lastly, I would like to remove the last sentence about living in Los Angeles with my son.


 * Why it should be changed:

My birthday should be changed because that is private information and should not be shared. If it has a source attached to it, please remove that source as well.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is one of my shows that pasted this November and want it to be listed in my biography.

I would like to add the next shows I will be working on to make my information more up to date and accurate.

My Filmography needs to be updated with my upcoming shows, as well as shows that have just recently pasted.

I do not want people knowing where I live or have any information on my family.

 * :I am making some of these changes and also reformatting/editing the article so that it is evergreen and adheres to a neutral point of view and the WP:MOS for biographies. JSFarman (talk) 18:08, 22 February 2023 (UTC) . I can't quite follow this discussion but I added the Taylor Hawkins tribute and the Beach Boys Grammy event to the filmography (with cites) and replaced some  templates with refs.  JSFarman (talk)
 * @Joeltenthplanet This section is a mess, and I cannot quite follow what happened, especially with the edit war. I know I am not the first one to tell you this, but this article does not belong to you.
 * I'm closing the request templates. If you still have pending requests, please start a new section with one (!) request template, and outline the specific suggestions with their sources. To be clear, unless there is a fundamental change in the sourcing situation, your year of birth will not be removed without a good reason. The fact that you would prefer it to be removed, i.e., you have a personal opinion on this matter, is not relevant. Please don't request that again unless you have a new argument for it.

birth year removal
Hello. I have requested to get my birth year removed a couple times. The last time I requested it to be removed, someone told me it couldn't because a source was attached to it. However, the current source you have attached to my birth year no long has that information at all. Are you able to remove this information now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joeltenthplanet (talk • contribs) 02:09, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Current reference #3 also verifies the birth year. Cullen328 (talk) 02:40, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * ok but are you able to remove reference #1 from his birth year since it no longer has his birthdate? Joeltenthplanet (talk) 18:43, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I checked the first reference (Gale), which as of 2023, does not list a date or year of birth, and I found a Reliable Sources Noticeboard discussion about Encyclopedia.com that I think raises questions about its use for personal information. The Encyclopedia.com source that was in the article (formerly reference #3) does not appear to cite its sources, and it looks a lot like the Gale source. I removed the year of birth that had been cited to Gale, edited the citation to reflect the 2023 version, and moved the Gale reference to text it supports, which replaced the Encyclopedia.com reference. From my view, according to the biographies of living persons policy, Gallen appears to not be a public figure, and his year of birth is not relevant to his notability, so I think we can err on the side of not including a year of birth unless there are higher-quality sources available. Beccaynr (talk) 01:00, 2 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree with Beccaynr.  I took the year he graduated from college from encycopedia.com and will remove it.  JSFarman (talk) 01:19, 2 May 2023 (UTC)

DELETE PAGE
I want my page deleted from wikipedia completely. This information is wrong and no one will correct it, therefore I want this page deleted. Joeltenthplanet (talk) 01:14, 29 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Can someone please delete this page? There is false information on this page, and I want this information taken down. Joeltenthplanet (talk) 22:03, 1 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I just rewrote and referenced the entire article. I do not know what could be considered false. JSFarman (talk) 04:59, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
