Repeated edits to Dax Shepard
Hello there, I've reverted your edits three times now to the Dax Shepard page regarding his sobriety. There are two problems with the edits you keep trying to make. First, the source referenced in this section (the podcast episode "Day 7") does not say that Shepard's wife suggested he hide an earlier relapse; nor does Shepard say that his 2012 actions constituted a "relapse." Please do not add this information back in unless you can add a reliable source for it. Secondly, your repeated edit in reference to Shepard's claims of 16 years of sobriety is editorializing on your part and not in line with Wikipedia's commitment to neutrality (Guide_to_addressing_bias). Please stop making these edits. Let me know if you have questions about these explanations. Grn1749 (talk) 06:35, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I have again reverted your claims about a 2012 relapse and Shepard's wife. Please stop making these edits that introduce false information into the page. Grn1749 (talk) 11:51, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

I disagree with your edits. I understand that you are trying to paint Shepard's relapse in a better light, but the edits I made are exactly what he discussed on the "day 7" podcast. He said "he never did anything sketchy with anything until 2012", and then he went in to tell the story of how he used his father's pain killers to "have an experience with him that he never had before" and sat "high as a kite" with him overlooking a lake. He then went on to say that he felt so guilty for relapsing, and told his wife right away, who told him it's not a big deal, and that he didn't need to talk about it openly. Which he never did, and went on to claim he was continuously sober since 2008. It's all in the podcast, and he would not have told that story unless it had relapse relevance to his revelation about the more recent relapse. I will not add back the part regarding his lying about being sober for 16 years, but the other comments I will add back in because they are true based on his story on the podcast. they are relevant facts regarding his issues with sobriety, which he is very public about, even if he has been misleading for 8 years, he did come clean on his day 7 podcast.
 * I don't have any personal investment in painting Shepard in a positive light; what I am invested in is accurate information. In the podcast, Shepard appears confused about whether the incident with his dad "counts" as a relapse. He says, "I was wondering if that's a relapse...I know really well what powerlessness and unmanageability feels like, which is when I drink if I drink on a Thursday night, there's no telling if I'll come back that night...so this is a confusing experience because I didn't feel very powerless or anything." Given that he has not called that incident a relapse, for you to characterize it as such is editorializing, and to write that Shepard says in his podcast that he first relapsed in 2012 is simply false. Also, his wife didn't tell him he didn't need to talk about it openly; he says on the podcast that she said "Keep it moving. Yeah. Like, you don't need to redefine that. You know, you didn't lose eight years." Her suggestion to him was that he hadn't relapsed and didn't need to start his sobriety clock over, NOT that he shouldn't talk about it openly, which is what you repeatedly claimed in your edits.
