Biography of living persons noticeboard: R. J. Ellory

I have raised the matter at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#R. J. Ellory. Please add your input to that discussion. Esowteric+Talk 08:39, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia editors are interested in hearing your side

Hello Mr. Ellory. I'm hoping that you will go to the biographies noticeboard, at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#R. J. Ellory, to give us your side of the story. What precisely do you feel is inaccurate in our article about you? I would hate for the discussion to close without your input. I look forward to hearing your side of the matter, so that the proper course, in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines, can be taken. Thank you. Qworty (talk) 22:36, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I've received your second message on my talk page and replied there. Thanks a lot, Eric: Esowteric+Talk 10:17, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Reply to talk page message

I'm not sure if you're even getting to read these messages, so I'll repeat here the reply I made on my talk page:

"Hi Roger, you're talking to Eric. I'm not an admin here; just another hack/editor. I am definitely not in control of this! As you have genuine grievances, I created a discussion thread at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#R. J. Ellory on your behalf, so that you can air your views and set the record straight. Click the link and scroll to the section beginning with the title "R. J. Ellory"; and read what has been said. By the section title is a link to edit the section. Here you can provide your input, just as you do when editing the section of an article. I'll add your mesage left on my talk page to that thread.

"If you go to the article R. J. Ellory and click on the "view history" link at the top of the page, here you can see who made what changes, why and when. Recent changes were made not by me but by Qworty (talk · contribs). Hope that helps. Regards, Eric:" Esowteric+Talk 10:22, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Further work on R. J. Ellory

Unfortunately, Nomoskedasticity (talk · contribs) has removed a lot of the material from Personal life, as it not reliably sourced. That's one of the rules of biography of living persons.

The discussion at the noticeboard continues and I've added your apology to the Controversy section, and also changed the banner from facts disputed -> unbalanced. I think it carries undue weight and is biased toward certain viewpoints.

I've also been through your works and awards and added a number of citations (references), which helps the article. However, I can find few references to your Personal life to add more detail. My advice would be: feed reviewers and interviewers with material that you would like to see in your Wikipedia biography and try to go for "reliable sources" rather than blogs. Editors can then quote from and cite these sources. This is the glue that makes things stick at Wikipedia. Regards, Esowteric+Talk 16:43, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

In reply to the message left on my talk page: As I've already said, to see who has made changes, why and when, go to the page and click on "View History" at the top of the page. Hereyou will see all the details listed. Esowteric+Talk 16:59, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at R. J. Ellory, you may be blocked from editing. Drmies (talk) 18:17, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Please could you explain to me why certain sections of my biog are permitted to remain and others are not. This biog has been up for many months, and all of a sudden you have decided that some of it is invalid. This is my page, my life, my biog, and you are telling me that it is not valid? I do not understand what you are doing, nor why?
