A little background: Kww, the candidate for arbcom about whom we are talking, was one of the users who insisted that it was a good idea to have a specific playmate infobox in the article on Wearstler. The box in question is one which makes the bust, waist and hip measurements the most prominently

Meh.. I think you should be proud to have made a convincing argument on the article's talk page, and influenced the article to be a better-weighted reflection of the individual's life/career. I don't think your criteria for success should include "convincing everybody" -- if so, you're just sett

Thanks for bringing this to our (well, mine, anyway) attention. It was troubling when it first showed up on BLPN in May and it's still troubling that so many (all male, looks like) editors are missing the point of BLP and UNDUE and are so dismissive of the career accomplishments of the subject of

And I just realized it's a nomination for Kww for Arbcom, not an Arbcom case. Ugh, sorry. I'm in the middle of finals and preparing to fly out of the country in a few hours. My brain is fried. I'm still pissed though. ;) -Sarah On 12/1/11 9:37 AM, Sarah Stierch wrote: Hi everyone, A few

Hi everyone, A few months ago Kelly Wearstler appeared - I think on this list. I had never heard of her, but, a small stink was being made on her talk page about whether to feature the Playboy model infobox for her page. So, I took a look, and of course got sucked in. I rewrote the article and

An article was brought to my attention about an interior designer, Kelly Wearstler, who is also a fashion designer. The interesting twist - she was Playboy of the Month in September 1994. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Wearstler One user is arguing that she's more famous as a one time Playboy
