[Wikimediaindia-l] People of stature unhappy with own articles

[Srikanth Ramakrishnan]

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,
