WhereDevilsDare,
As Bala pointed out, pages have to be neutral.
Example:Look at any Politician's page, it's always Pro-them, rarely is it
balanced.
We need to have things neutral.
If these guys get to decide what goes on their page, it'll be a Conflict of
Interest.
Even a simple controversy against a person, if added, shouldn't be removed.
Regards,

But they shouldn't be expecting wikipedia to do a whitewashing / PR fluff
job on it. Sometimes, if they are actually trying to remove negative
material about them (and there is a ton of it in RS) it leads to a
backlash and more gets added to the article. (

Hiya,
Me and a couple of others have been contacted by a couple of people of
stature having Wikipedia articles about themselves recently about the
articles having derogatory and inaccurate information about them. Is there
any procedure set which such people can follow to have an admin look into
their page?
Kind Regards,
