Personal information on Anthony Watson
Hi,

I see you've from the Anthony George Watson article on privacy grounds, but I'm a little confused by why you believe this information is private:


 * Watson's alma mater is readily available on his Bloomberg Business profile.
 * You've replaced the birth based on age as of date template with just stating he's 38 years old. Again, the original information was taken from a readily available Oregonian article which stated he was 38 at the time of the article's writing, so I'm not sure how your change makes any difference to Watson's privacy. Additionally, a bare age won't update automatically, unlike using the template which will update his age automatically as appropriate, and we want to avoid having statements that will go out of date.

The Wikipedia policy on privacy in biographies of living people states this sort of information should be included provided it has been "widely published by reliable sources", which I think applies here. On the specific matter of the date of birth, if privacy is a concern then the policy is to "err on the side of caution and simply list the year"; the previous information was even less accurate than that.

Separately, your edit summary ("Making edits to remove personal information the subject does not want available (age, education, etc)") implies you've been talking with Watson about the contents of the article. If you know him, and particularly if you have a business relationship where it may be considered that you're being paid to make these changes (e.g. if you work for Bitreserve), you should have a read of Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines.

You may also want to have a read of Wikipedia's advice for people with articles about them, or point Watson at that page.

If you've any questions on any of this, I'm more than happy to help as best I can. Alternatively, you can ask for help at the biographies of living persons noticeboard, Questions, or.

Thanks!
