Tag at Lindsay Tanner
I noted your somewhat broad assertions about the article at Timeshift9's talk page. I agreed with his move to a section given that all of the tags in the article related to that section, so I am a little mystified as to what you see as issues with the article - it's simple and uncontroversial for the most part, and apart from one claim which I removed (it's quite possible it was true, but I couldn't verify it and it added nothing to the narrative) everything could be tied back to sources worthy of WP:RS. The rest of the tags were cleared in a 10 minute web search. If you have other issues with the article, I'd suggest raising them at the talk page. Orderinchaos 02:55, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * BLP policy doesn't require sourcing for just negative/controversial points, it needs sourcing for all major points. I came across the Tanner article during an alphabetical sweep of Category:Living people articles and noticed that someone had tagged a bunch of the sentences with "citation needed", which hinders the ability to read the article. It was obvious that some editor(s) at some point in time felt that the information was contentious and as such I added the "Refimprove" tag to the top of the article, as suggested at WP:TC. The intent was to bring more people to the article to provide the sourcing so that the multiple inline citation requests could be removed, and having added the template in good faith I thought Timeshift 9's edit summary of "moving ghastly ugly pointless tag" was rude. I like to work with other editors, so I told him/her why I thought it rude, and pointed out the relevant links as to why I added the template. There was absolutely no disrespect intended at anytime and will of course apologize if my message was misconstrued. I think ultimately it worked out best for everyone...no more multiple inline "citation needed" tags marring the article, and it now has additional sources. Now that's collaboration!
