Pinker
I really don't feel like having a edit war over this. Frankly, I think the whole dispute is rather silly. What exactly is the problem with including information about Pinker that is available to anyone who Googles his name? Surely if Pinker didn't want this information "out there" he would have kept it private? But instead of doing that, he's revealed info about himself and his personal life in multiple fora. At a stretch there could be an argument that his ex-wives names should be excluded (but that more out of it not being interesting, than having anything to do with BLP) but the fact that Pinker was married and divorced three times should beyond all doubt be mentioned.

Also, BLP concerns information that is "controversial (negative, positive, or just highly questionable)". Statements about Pinker's previous marriages are none of these. It is reliably sourced, accurate, non-controversial, by no stretch of the imagination sensationalist and mentioning it does no harm. What any BLP policy has to do with any of the info we're talking about is completely beyond me.

Incidentally, I called your edits as an anon "bordering on vandalism" because you kept making the changes without discussing them on talk, not because of their substance. Mi kk er (...) 20:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
