User talk:Factwriter

Hi - welcome to Wikipedia. Just curious, are you either Noreena Hertz or Danny Cohen by any chance? Not that it's totally obvious, but the pattern of your edits suggests that might be the case. If so, in line with Wikipedia's conflict of interest rules for autobiography, you should say so and seek to make changes by asking for them on the relevant talk page(s). No worries if you are not one of them. I reverted your recent edit to Noreena Hertz as the level of detail (listing every TV appearance for example) is not needed for a short autobiog - article detail needs to be in line with notability of each item. Thanks for your time. Jamesinderbyshire (talk) 16:10, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi James,

Thanks for your message and sorry for the delay in replying. I have been away from Wikipedia for a while.

I understand your question - I'm a friend of theirs who was offended by the things being written.

It seems strange to me that the accusation of nepotism on both Danny Cohen and Noreena Hertz's pages is still there without any citation or other evidence. It is an offensive and slanderous suggestion and surely should not be kept on a wikipedia page when no effort has been made to provide any evidence for it. Please could you advise on this?

Thanks and best wishes Factwriter


 * Thanks for alerting me to it - I have taken those out before and have done so again. The statements are not sourced and so contravene basic WP:BLP policies. As you are not either Noreena Hertz or Danny Cohen, there is no reason why you cannot also monitor the articles and delete unsourced claims of that sort.
