Eva Pope
Since Eva Pope seems to be a living person, the policy WP:BLP applies, meaning that any possibly controversial information in the article has to be referenced to a reliable source. You removed some information, and changed other information, based on your assertion that you have personal knowledge of the facts. Unfortunately, such personal knowledge does not satisfy Wikipedia's verifiability policy, since other editors have to be able to check its accuracy. I have therefore removed the exact place and date of birth, which you disputed and had other views about. I have also removed some derogatory information you added, since no reliable source was provided. When you said in your edit comment "There are many details about her that were lied about or never released to enable identification of known people,"what exactly did you mean by "never released to enable identification of known people?" Is it fear of someone knowing personal details being able to engage in identity theft? If someone is a big star, their birth date and place of birth are usually pretty well out there in the press, but greater protection is afforded people who are not such celebrities.

Sorry for violating the policy, I agree I should have made sure I read and understood this policy before undertaking editing of the aforementioned article. The reasons behind the release of misleading and false information surrounding this actress is deeply rooted in her murky and hidden past. I cannot release the details to you for obvious reasons. I am under a contractual legal obligation not to release any of the information. Therefore I will not edit any other untrue parts of this article without word from Eva herself as I cannot source my information without compromising my position. Many Thanks, and apologies again, LissyPope (talk) 19:59, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
