Talk:Rick tha Rular

I am concerned with some large-scale deletions that have been going on at this article, removal of sources and sourced information, and the addition of information which seems to be giving undue weight to negative information, in violation of the Wikipedia policies regarding biographies of living persons. Instead of doing largescale reverts, could we please handle things more slowly, and try to reach a consensus on a neutral and verifiable article? Perhaps, start with a single paragraph where there is disagreement, or concern about a source, and go from there? --Elonka 22:13, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

The information I have been editing was not sourced. There was a contentious claim that he was the creator of music commonly attributed to another, and that he had had an extensive history working with a famous musical group. The only sources listed to support that are news articles stating only that he said so in a lawsuit, one which was quickly dismissed. I included a second source, a link to the docket of the case, which you removed. The assertion that an actual judicial ruling on the claim is undue weight is bizarre, to say the least.

What I have included is supported by the sources: He claimed to have written the songs, filed a lawsuit to that effect, and the suit was dismissed.

What I have removed is the unquestioning repeating of his claims from a lawsuit dismissed 8 years ago. As per WP:NPOV "Avoid stating seriously contested assertions as facts."

Second. This is not the page for SNL Shorts. Detailed summaries of the shorts do not belong here, especially as they are summaries of the sketches, which he had nothing to do with, and made no claim to have had.

Finally, look again: until you jumped in and undid everything twice the only big reverts to the biased version you've favored was by a new account where that was its only ever edit and Cluebot.

My editing notes already covered most of this, the sources in the page cover the rest, and an understanding of the Neutral Point of View should cover any needs not otherwise met. Peepula (talk) 17:17, 14 August 2020 (UTC)Peepula
