Melissa Farley BLP violation
[edit]
Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Melissa Farley . There's nothing in the article to say she's a criminal, so we cannot say it here, even if we believed it true. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 14:51, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- Being arrested does not make one a criminal. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:05, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- If she had been convicted, that might be different, although Category:Criminals should be reserved for those about which being a criminal is a significant fact. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 15:06, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Read the article
[edit](moved from Talk:Arthur Rubin)
If you read the article, it states that she was arrested numerous times for destruction of property and possibly disturbing the peace, due to her actions in bookstores across the nation. If she has been arrested once, that qualifies her as a criminal. She has been arrested numerous times. Please respond on my talk page, thank you.

- Yes, that is certainly true. But those charges filed against her are not something you can be imprisoned for, at least in her situation. She was, however, most likely fined, and not fined like a speeding ticket. 'Arrested' and fined. I would argue that being arrested 13 times in 9 different states for destruction of pornographic magazines is something that makes her a notable criminal.

- Then find a WP:RS for any of those contentions. Please also remember that WP:BLP applies to all pages, so the unsupported accusations you have made above should probably be removed. It would be best if you did it. Verbal chat 15:24, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- Verbal, did you not read the page? If so, don't even talk. She, Melissa Farley, HAS BEEN ARRESTED 13 TIMES IN 9 DIFFERENT STATES FOR COMMITING THE SAME CRIME OVER AND OVER. THUS SHE IS A CRIMINAL. IT WOULD BE BEST IF YOU DIDN'T TRY TO COMMENT ON THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.RyanRetroWickawack (talk) 15:39, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

3RR
[edit]Hi. You are obviously involved in an edit war at Melissa Farley, so please be mindful of 3RR (which you have already transgressed) when you next edit. Just a gentle reminder that you don't have to "win" your point-of-view today. Why not take a short break, and take up the issue on the talk page when things settle?
