Numerous wikilinks seem to have been copy-and-pasted to the "See also" sections of various pages despite not having any particular relevance. I have removed several links from the "See also" section that did not have any direct relevance to the article subject other than to implicitly disparage the article subject, which would be a violation of the WP:BLP policy against unsourced content. I believe that that the remaining links should be removed if they are not relevant either. WP:SEEALSO says that "The links in the 'See also' section should be relevant, should reflect the links that would be present in a comprehensive article on the topic, and should be limited to a reasonable number." I do not think that lists of other mediums are relevant enough without some actual connection, or else any biography could have dozens of "see also" entries based purely on their profession. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 02:41, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Wallyfromdilbert: You are going way overboard on the medium articles you are removing material. The MOS states: "One purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics..." I maintain that the bios of other mediums and articles covering the general topic are, for certain, tangentially related. RobP (talk) 03:01, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop it Wallyfromdilbert. I returned the link to Mark Edwards as it is relevant, and you deleted it. This is disruptive and unwelcome behaviour. CatCafe (talk) 03:07, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How is the link relevant? You can't just state it as a fact with no explanation or sourcing. Stop restoring unsourced BLP violations and instead engage in a discussion. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 03:22, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Claiming See also links are "unsourced BLP violations" is nonsense. What is unsourced? Be specific. I am following the guideline as I stated. Seems pretty clear. Let me repeat it from the MOS on See also: "One purpose of "See also" links is to enable readers to explore tangentially related topics. That's what these are. If any are not tangentially related, explain. RobP (talk) 03:32, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How are you claiming the links in the "see also" section are not unsourced? Also, regarding wikilinks to other mediums, under your interpretation, any biography could have dozens of "see also" entries based purely on their profession. Can you explain how that would make sense as a guideline? – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 03:38, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What is your def of unsourced? They are not links to external articles. They go to Wiki pages which have their own sourcing. RobP (talk) 03:41, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing has to be done on this actual page, and wikilinks to other articles are not considered reliable sources as per WP:V and WP:RS. Also, the articles I removed from the "see also" section do not mention this article subject. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 03:43, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

OMG. Of course the articles linked to "don't mention the subject of this article." Wikilinks - esp those in See Also - rarely do. That's why they are "tangential." You cannot be seriously arguing that you can only wikilink to articles that mention the ones linking to it, can you? RobP (talk) 03:47, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

When the links have no relevance other than to disparage the article subject, then they need to be sourced per the WP:BLP policies. – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 03:55, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wally, you are disruptive editing, edit warring, uncivil and do not have concensus. Your behaviour akin to a vandalism. Stop it. CatCafe (talk) 04:43, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No, that is not how WP:VANDALISM works here, and you should stop because that can be considered a personal attack. How about instead actually responding to what I have said? Also, what New York Times article are you referencing in your edits? – wallyfromdilbert (talk) 05:51, 27 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I sincerely apologise to you for any offense. You are also making personal attacks. As you were the one who started an edit war refusing to discuss on talk pages and you now have 3RR and no concensus because of your uncivil behaviour, please sort out your own problematic editing behaviours first.

Lots of stuff like this on the page - “My life mission is to bring peace of mind, comfort, joy and sometimes laughter to those who long for contact with a loved one who has passed and I am grateful to be able to make connections nightly, because our spirits never die.”[14] Isingness (talk) 00:36, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Isingness: "Lots of stuff" is not very helpful. Mind you I wrote this article - and did not add all of the Peacock stuff, but am glad to remove it. Good now? RobP (talk) 00:50, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, doesn't like there is much left after the clean-up. Isingness (talk) 01:02, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

None of the sources describe them pleading guilty to a felony, or being convicted of a felony. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 21:01, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
