Bankman-Fried and BLP
Greetings. Some of your recent edits in the Sam Bankman-Fried article read a bit biased, e.g. instead of "Bankman-Fried allegedly considered paying off the country's $9 billion national debt", you made it "Bankman-Fried openly discussed," etc. Then, you inserted an inordinate amount of emphasis on BF's mind, quoting significantly negative comments made by third parties, i.e. not mind specialists, as facts, which probably runs against the cautions dispensed in this policy: We are not supposed to reproduce hearsay or appear to be engaging in victimization. The text can be improved. -The Gnome (talk) 06:11, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Greetings!
 * That sounds fair. Earlier, I had modified "psychiatric" meds to "ADHD and antidepressant" meds which is sort of going in the opposite direction, but I appreciate that I did add rather a lot in the other direction and that we should be particularly careful with WP:BLP. I was also the one who originally added about the $9bn so it felt more like correcting myself when I read another article about it, but it's very possible that I've generally added more negative material than positive.
 * I'd be very happy for you to correct these two edits as you see fit. I'm also very happy to revert the two of them (assuming that the rest of that edit was ok) or for you to do that.
 * I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. I've been impressed by how neutral the article reads and I wouldn't want to spoil that, but striking the right balance is particularly challenging when it's so much easier to find negative coverage!
