[edit] Nude Photos
I am not sure the nude photos controversy warrants inclusion here since it seemed to be an over and done with story. Moreover, to my knowledge, Roberts has never acknowledged that the photos are actually his. I made some edits to the new text, but would like others to weigh in as to whether this story merits inclusion or not. Unfortunately, I do suspect that the new text was posted for the purpose of driving people to the Kenneth in the 212 blog. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sketchglasses (talk • contribs) 19:31, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
It been removed per WP:BLP. According to WP:BLP
"Editors must take particular care adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page. Such material requires a high degree of sensitivity, and must adhere strictly to the law in Florida, United States and to our content policies:
Neutral point of view (NPOV) Verifiability No original research
We must get the article right.[1] Be very firm about the use of high quality references. Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material — whether negative, positive, or just questionable — about living persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles,[2] talk pages, user pages, and project space. An important rule of thumb when writing biographical material about living persons is "do no harm". Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. Biographies of living persons (BLP) must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy.
This policy applies equally to biographies of living persons and to biographical material about living persons in other articles. The burden of evidence for any edit on Wikipedia, but especially for edits about living persons, rests firmly on the shoulders of the person who adds or restores the material.
If, either as an editor or a subject, you have concerns about biographical material about a living person in Wikipedia, please report your concerns on the BLP noticeboard."
