user:Willmcw 06:55, Aug(UTC)įor willmcw I think its time youstopped trying to rearrange my words. Willmcw 09:51, J(UTC)Ĭan you please explain your edits to Biff Rose? They appear to express a negative POV towards the person. Unsourced derogatory allegations should not be added and may be removed.
Libel is the legal responsibility of the author, not Wikipedia. From the little I know of Rose, you sound too sane. ) Let's all try to keep a nice, encyclopedic tone here. I will not do so yet because I do not know the etiquette of Wikipedia. I am not Biff, but I would not mind giving out my real name, email address, and, privately, even my work phone number if it will put some of these issues to rest. I'm appreciating and enjoying that this has taken on a life of its own. Some of the original, somewhat misleading sentences remain, as my early edits were basically a quick band-aid to deal with the libel. The article is still not all that well-written in a couple places. This same vandal (who, ironically, created the initial entry for the sake of making the Florida claim appear "respectable") uses slanted/back-handed language such as "journeyman," " "flash in the pan" and "sank from view," and removes significant achievements out of spite. The ongoing claims of NAMBLA and a crime in Florida (you will notice that it was upgraded from molestation to a "disappearance" in later drafts) are libelous, highly destructive, and a sham that is why they keep getting removed. They had a number of hits singles and LPs.Īs for the question "Can anyone explain why the page is being edited so intensely?" A great many entries, under several different names and IP addresses, are the work of an obsessive fan/anti-fan/stalker of Biff Rose who has been doing similar work elsewhere on the web (, Biff Rose's message board, private emails, etc.) using the same or similar IPs to the ones here. Small note: "Buddha" is not a record label, but "Buddah" was, in the late 1960's, early 1970's. There is a significant precedent of important artistic works being "self-released".witness much of the work of Sun Ra in the 50's-70's, and many albums in the D.I.Y. I've added "self release" to the last three, and we can annotate them further if necessary. They are still a part of the record of his life. That doesn't mean he didn't record and release them. Thanks, - Willmcw 06:35, J(UTC)Īpparently some of Rose's recent albums have been self-released. Whatever we do, let's please use this talk page to discuss controversial edits. There is room for good, bad, and indifferent material so long as it is properly sourced and presented. Let's just try to to the best job we can in writing a concise, comprehensive summary of the available sources in a NPOV manner. Rose is a real person who did a number of notable things, which is why we have this article. Who is doing the talking up there? ]Ĭan anyone explain why the page is being edited so intensely? One of the pillars of the project is our obligation to edit from a neutral point of view. I wonder what exactly are the reasons this guy keeps rewriting his account? What happened in Florida that some people don't want us to know about? What's going on here?
