This article appears to have become embroiled in an off-wiki situation that has the potential to spill over and affect the children in real life. That isn't what wikipedia is about and I think there is now a clear consensus to leave the children out of the article at this time. The discussion (such as it was) can be found in the talk page history. Please do not add the details of the children without first discussing here and reading up on the history. There is also an OTRS ticket but this is not crucial to understanding of the situation. [[User:Spartaz|Spartaz]] <sup>''[[User talk:Spartaz|Humbug!]]''</sup> 10:38, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

>I don't really edit much, and I certainly have no connection to the subject of the article, the specific subject of the edit war, or any of the participants involved. I am, however, concerned that WP:BLP does not adequately address this kind of issue. I've spent far too much of my professional life dealing with (US) parentage issues involving well-meaning but (perhaps unknowingly) destructive parents and other "adults" who can't restrain themselves from engaging in the type of snarking showing up here to have any remaining patience with this particularly insidious form of child abuse. The subject LP of the BLP might be fair game within the careful restrictions imposed by WP, but how on earth would anyone legitimately argue that a kid's relationships with family are worth damaging in this context, or in any other presented to the authors of an encyclopedia article? Neither money, nor the purported but private "truth" or "principle of the matter" justifies the content still archived here. This stuff has no place in WP, whether in the article, the talk pages, or the "deleted" talk page edit history. Hear, hear, Spartaz; the action is correct, and reason and decency are prevailing. I only wish that the talk archive could be junked as well, and as noted, BLP does not go far enough in situations like this. Keep going.

Semi-Protection

Guys and Girls, we do not edit war over BLP breaching orginal research. If there isn't a reliable source we don't add the information - especially concerning children. Please chill and don't start this up again when the protection expires otherwise I'll semi/full protect for a much longer period. Spartaz Humbug! 19:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Children

This article appears to have become embroiled in an off-wiki situation that has the potential to spill over and affect the children in real life. That isn't what wikipedia is about and I think there is now a clear consensus to leave the children out of the article at this time. The discussion (such as it was) can be found in the talk page history. Please do not add the details of the children without first discussing here and reading up on the history. There is also an OTRS ticket but this is not crucial to understanding of the situation. Spartaz Humbug! 10:38, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
