i don't know how to add the citations but see http://www.harris-archives.com/reviews.html

Wow, I echo the box at the top of the page "This biographical article is written like a résumé." It reads like it was written by the subject or his publicist. Would it be wrong to delete all the unsourced blather, or perhaps to delete it althogether (OK, I can't do that, but still, can I put one of those "speedy" templates on it?)?

I deleted some obvious cruft ("has created a suite of websites...") and fact-tagged basically everything. This article has no content of value to anyone except its subject, as far as I can see. Huw Powell (talk) 04:15, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

Ron Harris has long been a ludicrously unapologetic self-promoter. Despite his lack of talent in other areas, photography for example, he does this well, and usually on the backs of more talented people like Petter Hegre. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.221.64.18 (talk) 12:21, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II ^Notify_Online 03:06, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

not really resolved

Here's what the WP article says:

In 1981, Harris created and directed the first sexually implicit exercise program, Aerobicise.

Putting aside for a moment the value of the blacklisted source, here's what it said:

Twenty years ago this month the world saw the very first aerobics television show ever created. Aerobicise was the very sexy creative child of erotic photographer and television director Ron Harris. The sexually implicit 20 minute workouts were nominated for a Cable Ace award and went on to be the highest grossing exercise videos in their time.

However, the source is blacklisted. -- Hoary (talk) 23:09, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
