Colleen McCullough
I removed the info re her brother. I don't have an objection to it being there as such, but it needs to be put into some sort of context. ie. why is it important in an article about her? Lots of people have family members who have died but is that really encyclopaedic? &mdash;Moondyne 14:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I reverted your addition to the article yet again. If you insist on this material being added, it needs to be within proper context and discussed first. I see no effort from you to do that. &mdash;Moondyne 03:01, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced personal infomation in biographies of living people
Please stop adding unsourced personal information to biographies, and especially unsourced information about minor children in the context of their parent's biographies. Wikipedia has a policy of the Presumption in favor of privacy. We also require very high quality reliable sources for biographies of living people and this includes information about living people in biographies on deceased people. It's just not acceptable to edit war over trying to add totally unsourced and poorly sourced personal information to biographies, and particularly when it concerns not notable minor children.

Addition of children details
Ditto what Sarah said above. Per WP:BLP and for other obvious privacy reasons we need to be very careful about the inclusion of personal details of minors. A general statement saying "so and so had two children" is fine but adding their full names and dates of birth is overkill. &mdash;Moondyne 03:01, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Formal Warning
Oldchook you have on a number of occassions been ask to refrain from inclusion of excessive personal detail on family members of notable people WP:BLP says The presumption in favor of the privacy of family members of articles' subjects. WP:BLP also says that Editors who repeatedly add or restore unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material about living persons may be blocked for disruption. you have been warned a number of time by various editors.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting excessive births details of children of notable people into an article, also to James Blundell (singer), Alyssa-Jane Cook, Colleen McCullough and others, you will be blocked Gnangarra 14:09, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Has ignored warning
On 6th November, Oldchook again edited an article, Bridie Carter, to include a non-notable minor's date of birth. Here. Lenky (talk) 04:46, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
