allkpop
allkpop.com is first and foremost a blog. It is a news blog, yes, but a blog. It tends to be biased, publishes rumours as fact, and has misleading stories. It really doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards for reliable sources.
I know it's difficult to find a good English sources for K-Pop, but that doesn't mean that poorer ones should be used instead. If you look at the Oh! (album) page, you'll see that an English (actual) news source is used. So it's doable. Normally speaking, though, Korean news sources are used instead on most of these pages.
I hope that clears things up. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. SKS (talk) 03:03, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
FYI
You left a templated WP:COI warning on Steve Baker's talk page. In case you are not aware, it is not considered good form on WP to template the long-term users, and there are few contributors more regular or more prolific that Mr Baker. If you have a question about something he is doing, a personal note citing your specific concern is much more likely to attract an appropriate response. As an aside, one does not have a conflict of interest just because one has a personally-related interested in a topic, or no one with a heart condition could write about Cardiac care, or photographers about photography.

- (I have moved your reply to my comment above here to keep the conversation coherent.)
- A user's time spent on wikipedia or edit count is irrelevant to how they should be treated or how their actions should be viewed, and that you seem to think otherwise is appalling. Especially due to the nature of Aspergers syndrome, Aspies editing the article on their own special corner of Autism is undesirable to a neutral point of view.DaiZengarSmite evil 23:17, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
- Your opinion on not templating the regulars is noted, but it is the standard, nonetheless. It is also your personal opinion that "Aspies editing the article on their own special corner of Autism is undesirable to a neutral point of view.". That might be interpreted as a prejudice you hold expressed as an attack. I do not see any failure of NPOV by Mr Baker on the talk page or in the article. As for Mr Baker's contributions to the article Asperger syndrome, as far as I can see, he added something to the article on January 31st that was not contentious, and has disagreed with you, accompanied by a coherent rationale suggesting another look at the concern again if or when the DSM is changed, in a !vote on the article's talk page. I suggest that you step back from labelling behaviours which are not in evidence. Mr Baker can certainly speak for himself should more need to be said. Bielle (talk) 23:41, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:
Notes:
- In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
- Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.
If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:
{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=tedder has accused and blocked me of vandalism without ever approaching me about the issue before the block or giving a specific reason beyond a nebulous citation of "abusing editing privileges". I am very confused as to why I was blocked as I have not engaged in any vandalism. I have recently giving several conflict of interest warnings to editors involved in the merge dispute at [[Asperger syndrome]] who displayed asperger-like tendencies in the arguments, but the warnings were meant to help the neutrality of the article and I do not feel they were vandalism. Even if they were, the issue could and should have been resolved by tedder bringing up the issue on my talkpage rather than blocking me out of the gate. Regardless, I have no intention to vandalize wikipedia and only wish that all sides of the arguments are heard, and so if unlocked will not be vandalizing wikipedia.
