This noticeboard is for reporting and discussing Biographies of living people policy issues which require outside intervention. These may include disputes with tendentious editors and cases where outside persons are repeatedly adding problematic material over a longer period of time.

It is not for simple vandalism or material which can easily be removed without argument. If you can, simply remove the offending material.

For general content disputes regarding biographical articles consider using Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies.

All Wikipedia editors are encouraged to assist fellow editors regarding the reports below.

Please make your comments as concise as possible. Fellow editors and administrators are less likely to pay attention to long diatribes.

Please familiarize yourself with the Biographies of living people policy before reporting issues here.

Please note that edits by the subject of an article may be welcome in some cases.
