Talk:Kelly Preston
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] January 26, 2006
I though the revert by James084 went back a bit too far, so had the side effect of undoing valid changes. I refixed the disambig target, and put back in the children names. The only change that was left was the reference to Secret Admirer. While she did have a part in that, and it was a sex comedy, I don't know if it was a starring role or what her part involved. (So technically that edit could be true, I just don't know, hence why I'm am not putting that back) MartinRe 20:01, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
I am taking out the paragraph about her son Jet's alleged autism because:
a) The sources are 'Hollywood Interrupted,' a celebrity gossip blog and 'Operation Clambake,' an anti-Scientology message board, neither WP:V or WP:RS.
b) No one knows whether Jet actually has autism. No RS has been established for it.
c) It is derogatory.
If anyone wants to revert this change, let them provide a reliable source. If no such source is provided, the person who reverts this change can expect a warning notice: Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not add unreferenced negative biographical information concerning living persons to Wikipedia articles. Thank you.

- Mark Ebner is an award winning investigative journalist. Just because he writes about Hollywood doesn't make his website "gossip". His article is credible; the "Kawasaki syndrome through carpet cleaning" that Travolta is telling isn't. I am therefore restoring it. --Tilman 07:47, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
No more putting the paragraph about some guy thinking their son is autistic. That's for gossip blogs, not for wikipedia. When there is a credible source that says he is autistic, when there is any genuine news about it, we can put that there, but not gossip. Johnpedia 06:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
- See the discussion on my discussion space... the defects have been corrected, the current version is ok according to WP:BLP. As I said before, this ain't gossip. When I think about it, John and Kelly's story about Kawasaki syndrome, THAT is gossip. --Tilman 06:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

- Tilman, if you will take a look at WP:V, which is wiki policy, not a guideline, it states that blogs are largely not acceptable as sources. "Self-published sources such as blogs should never be used as third-party sources about living persons, even if the author is a well-known professional researcher or writer. See WP:BLP."
It might pass notice if the material were not derogatory and potentially libellous. S. M. Sullivan 23:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

- The New York Daily News, which took up the story, is not a blog. --Tilman 08:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
