Misha Segal[edit]

Hi. I see that you are blanking the section on Misha as a Scientologist. Are you Misha? Or close to Misha? Please note that Wikipedia discourages folks from editing articles on themselves. The material is sourced and should not be removed unless you can source something to the contrary. I am going to restore the material again but am happy to help you address it if you have sourced material. --Lyncs (talk) 20:50, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mjzz (talk) 03:36, 9 October 2012 (UTC) Yes, I am Misha. I, on the other hand, don't know who you are. your insistence on adding damaging information about me is curious. First, I am not active as a Scientologist and second, There are people in my industry who will not hire me for important jobs when they see this association. Since this is damaging to me and since it has no relevance to what I actually do I ask kindly that you refrain from adding information, just because you can. You don't bother to add that I am Jewish, so I don't see why you find it so important to write on my bio that I am a Scientologist, except maybe for the sensation. I am asking you to please respect my privacy in this matter and leave this be. Move on to other important things. Thank you, Misha Segal[reply]

Hi Misha. You misunderstand. I did not add the material. I simply reversed the removal of sourced material. I don't have much of a dog in this fight and am not very active on Wikipedia so here is what I will do: I will refer this to some folks that specialize in this sort of thing and you can pursue it with them. I will give you a link in a bit. --Lyncs (talk) 06:02, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, Misha, here are the folks to sort this out with; Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Misha Segal. My problem is that I am perhaps in a similar situation as regards Scientology so I sympathize with you. It is best if you sort it out with neutral folks. I do have to tell you that you do not own the article on yourself here so I doubt you can remove all mention of Scientology since it seems adequately sourced. It does seem that it is given undue weight, however. Good luck. --Lyncs (talk) 06:18, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
