Friendship with Stephen Fry, Webb gay

[edit]

The Fry article now acknowledges that Webb is the former's partner. So why is this fact being suppressed here and why were previous discussion entries doctored? The truth will out (as are Fry and Webb) see [1]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.153.243.76 (talk) 07:51, 1 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No one is against the info being added here. It does, however, need to be sourced and, to date, that has not been done. MarnetteD | Talk 16:27, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The attended the Baftas as a couple so it is without doubt fact. However, it's pointless adding any reference to the partnership or that Webb is gay as it is reverted, reference or not, as soon as added so the article is also pointless. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.83.194 (talk) 23:28, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The truth on this fact is out there. The reverters are in denial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.83.194 (talk) 18:26, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not a gossip website. It requires WP:RSs. As soon as you present them rather than a rant the info can be assessed and consensus can be reached about its entry. MarnetteD | Talk 19:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Once you find a good or better source (ex. New york times or cnn or something), then maybe it can be added to the article. Until then it should be kept as it is. Creation7689 (talk) 19:48, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why should the US press be a superior source to UK-based media? Fry and Webb live in the UK, not USA so a UK-based media source should be fine. The Guardian and Mail are long-established papers and that Fry and Webb have made several documented appearances at arts events is a "statement" that does need words. After all, all the deleted statement said in the article was that they were close friends and (social) partners. Webb has "partnered" Fry in public so he is his partner! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.83.194 (talk) 21:03, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article has many flaws, almost as if he's still a child actor. Where was he born on the Wirral? Wirral isn't a town. And it seems he is indeed an adult and a close friend of an elder actor. Is this article frozen in time and why is any update reverted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.83.194 (talk) 22:12, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just putting some examples out. Not saying you necessarily have to use those. Anything is fine as long as it is considered to be a good source. Creation7689 (talk) 23:23, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Suggest this talk be continued at the existing thread at Talk:Stephen_Fry#Fry_and_Webb_public_relationship, so that we can have all the facts and arguments in the same place. --McGeddon (talk) 08:15, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This:[2] states they are indeed "partners". Has Fry Tweeted to contradict this source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.83.194 (talk) 22:26, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
