BLP of Adam Zamoyski

A huge amount of content was removed without ample justification, so I have reverted that so that editors can discuss this carefully on this talk page. Please check all potential references carefully on the article page before removing content. (Standard references such as Who's Who, etc.) The edit history of the article might provide a helpful guideline, to verify how the metrial was created. Nothing in this BLP was contentious or potentially libellous (see the banner). Mathsci (talk) 18:16, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As User:Smerus discovered yesterday, the main edits to this BLP were made in one extensive edit in 2015[1] by User:Zmf4. The edit summary is, "At the behest of Adam Zamoyski himself, amendments have been made which more accurately describe the matters described above". Zmf4 is still actively editing that BLP and Smerus has questioned them on their user talk page about a possible WP:COI. Given the 2015 state, I have no idea who added the more recent image, etc, etc. Mathsci (talk) 18:48, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The decorations are sourced to the official Polish government sources in the article on pl.wikipedia.org. Mathsci (talk) 20:52, 28 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The picture was added by User:Zmf4 ([2]) as 'own work'. Zmf4 has also added a c. 1940 picture of Zamoyski's father as 'own work', which would make Zmf4 aged 100 or so on my calculations. I think on this basis it is pretty clear who Zmf4 is.--Smerus (talk) 10:27, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Could be a literary agent. On commons there is another photo of Adam Zamoyski from 2009, but taken by another editor. In this article, the is a link to "Poland Today" with a 1940s photo of Zamoyski senior shaking hands with George VI and the Queen Mother. Mathsci (talk) 14:18, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
