[edit] definitely need some citations - how to get them?

I'll see what i can do to come up with the needed citation. appreciate the help... peacock language and ad terms, yeah I see that ... I got this from the Zendik site - I'll see what I can do to get sources for things I can, etc... please bear with me... Jyre 00:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] things that need citations

I started tagging statements that need adequate sources, but I don't have all day. I'm also deleting NPOV statements like, "They predicted greatness for this strange child." You need to cite a statement like that in a quote. And please don't invent one or cite it from yourself. - Rashaun 15:13, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] entry by Jyre

Over the next week or so i'll work on the links, and the layout, and put up a picture. This page is intended to provide specific biographical information about Wulf Zendik which is not appropriate for the Zendik Farm article page. This will be a work in progress for a few days. I appreciate any suggestions on how to make this an excellent wiki article. Jyre 23:58, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] not sure if this is where to cite the source for this bio article...

Wulf's family gave me permission to post this biographical information.) Jyre 04:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The (family of) the subject of an article is not a reliable source for a biographical article. I'm going to trim out the worst of the bias and unsourced material from this article. Wikipedia is not a forum for hagiography and in particular we insist on proper sourcing of all information. Gwernol 12:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reduced to a stub

This was one of the worst articles I've read on Wikipedia. This is an encyclopedia, not a place for the glorification of an individual. It breached virtually every rule and standard that we have for content. I have removed the unsourced material, original research and [{WP:POV|biased language]]. There is almost no reliably sourced information about Zendik: all we really know is he wrote one novel and founded a commune. That's what the article now says. I urge all editors of this article to exercise extreme caution when expanding this article to make sure all information is properly sourced. The Zendik Farm organization itself cannot be considered a reliable source for these purposes. Gwernol 12:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Great work. - Rashaun 22:41, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
