problem with living bios goes beyond unsourced material.
Everything in a bio could be sourced and it might still be an unfair
portrait of the person.
Yep, that's what happens, but folks need to know that
one side is right, the other side wrong. There is no limit to removal of unsourced crap.
Repeatedly putting crap back in will, eventually, result in sanctions.
Am I missing something here? That wasn't about "unsourced crap", it was
about sourced-but-biased material, which is different.
I am not sure about what example you had in mind Ken, but in this thread
there have been two main examples:
The tv reporter about whom it was claimed that she had a rock star
brother... no source.
The Mugabe children case, which was not "sourced but biased" but rather
appears to have been a totally fabricated pseudo-source that admittedly
had the *formatting* of an actual source.
