OTRS request number 2007021810000441
Hello Bastique,
I have a question regarding the legitimacy of the above referenced OTRS number. 1) Has Wikipedia confirmed the OTRS represents the wishes of Ms. Mulgrew? 2) Even if it does represent her wishes, the removed material is a) true and b) well sourced and c) the sources are widely available in the public domain. Therefore, there appears to be no issue of privacy. Moreover, the fact that she has a daughter appears on her official website. Can you please show the OTRS text and explain your position on why editors need to follows this request. Thanks. Tobit2 (talk) 14:52, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the invite, I'm keeping a low profile at the moment though. Do I understand correctly that if I add myself to this list, my e-mail is viewable by everyone else on the list? BananaFiend (talk) 09:25, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Question about Van Morrison
Hi Bastique. A question has arisen about the amount of personal information that is appropriate to put in the Van Morrison article. I understand, given Wikipedia guidance, and a request from the subject, that detailed information about VM's children with Michelle Rocca should not appear in the article. However, there is uncertainty about the appropriateness of mentioning Michelle Rocca. The relationship is well known and widely reported in reliable sources. The relationship is mentioned in the Michelle Rocca article. Given that this is widely known information, so much so that the Daily Mail can refer in a headline that Rocca's brother is Van Morrison's 'brother-in-law', it would appear to me that our VM article would be incomplete without a mention of her. I also understand that guidance on mentioning the children of famous people suggests not identifying them by name or age - however the fact of their existence, especially when mentioned in reliable sources, is something that is OK to mention. I have some possible wordings - "Van Morrison has two children by his long term partner the former Miss Ireland, Michelle Rocca." or, "WM has been linked with the former Miss Ireland, Michelle Rocca." What are your thoughts? Though I'm quite happy to continue this by email, I would prefer the conversation be on Wiki so there is a record of it to avoid future doubt. It might be that the best place would be the talkpage of the Van Morrison article. Regards SilkTork *YES! 07:59, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- I'm not certain what to say. Obviously, you should weigh how much press coverage has been given to the subject, versus how strong the privacy laws are in their country, I'm sorry to be vague or ambiguous, but this is not something on whcih I'm in a position to provide advice. --Bastique demandez 22:36, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
- My understanding is that it was you who dealt with the request from VM to reduce the mention of his children by Rocca, and advised the main editor of the article of the situation. The main editor is quite firm in her understanding that no mention of children or of Rocca herself should be made, and she uses you as the authoritative source for this position. Some clarity on this would be helpful as I feel mention of Rocca would be useful to the article, while the other editor feels that such a mention is not allowed.

Your new accounts
May I inquire as to why you are creating all those accounts? Triplestop x3 21:52, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- They're for the Wikipedia Academy next week. As Cary is an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation as Volunteer Coordinator, I don't think his account-creating actions are any concern of any members of the community. Daniel (talk) 21:57, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, I was just worried when I saw all those accounts on the new user log. Triplestop x3 22:02, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
