I was able to find a citing source about your knitting, but, I can't use 
the self-published sources about your dads car. Now, if someone wants to 
interview you and write that article, then sweet, I can use it =)

Thanks, Fred. I can't see that there's a major issue (one way or the
other), and the edits are from over a year ago.

Re: [Gendergap] Woman posting on Wikipedia about knitting, needs investigating

[Sarah Stierch]

Perhaps I'm just too new to writing BLP's (I've written five so far, and 
I have spoken with 3 of the artists) ...I don't believe I can use 
message boards and such to cite as sources. I know I have to limit the 
self-generated sources I use, such as your blog. While I trust you, 
maybe the folks on the talk page don't :-/ ?


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SELFPUB#Self-published_sources

Even if I have ten people confirm with me that you taught them how to 
knit, the information could very well be removed without the appropriate 
source citing.


This is a learning experience, that's for sure! And I admit, it's a bit 
surreal writing the BLP for the CTO of Wikimedia. :)

Here is the removal of the information about knitting:

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Danese_Cooper&diff=347000261&oldid=345360328

Removed again:

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Danese_Cooper&diff=347000261&oldid=345360328

This is where it was put in:

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Danese_Cooper&diff=prev&oldid=341488635

Seems harmless enough, and hardly requires a substantial reference.

Could someone say again which article and talk page we're discussing?
I've looked at this one --
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danese_Cooper -- but can't see the issue.
Ditto with the talk page.

I might take a stab on my own userspace to re-write this article. I'm 
somewhat addicted fixing crappy BLP's. Perhaps I'll send it your way 
(here) before I post it.
