That pesky YouTube documentary[edit]

In the interest of preventing edit warring, here is a list of reasons why the passage on the YouTube documentary is not appropriate here.

Most important:

Wikipedia:Reliable source examples: YouTube: YouTube and other video-sharing sites are not reliable sources because anyone can create or manipulate a video clip and upload without editorial oversight, just as with a self-published website.

The documentary is copyrighted material. As per Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking_to_copyrighted_works: If you know that an external Web site is carrying a work in violation of the creator's copyright, do not link to that copy of the work. Knowingly and intentionally directing others to a site that violates copyright has been considered a form of contributory infringement in the United States (Intellectual Reserve v. Utah Lighthouse Ministry [1]). Linking to a page that illegally distributes someone else's work sheds a bad light on Wikipedia and its editors.

Also:

The documentary is Dream Weavers 2008 and Yang Yilin isn't even in it. It has no relevance whatsoever to her article.
The documentary was filmed over a period of 8 years and there is no verification of the actual time in which segments were filmed; deducing it was a certain month or year is WP:OR.
The documentary does not have a verifiable English translation. Subtitles don't count. DanielEng (talk) 03:42, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yang Yilin Has AGAIN Found Not Guilty Of Underage Accusation[edit]

Now the controversy is over, and her DOB is no longer in dispute, I'm putting the year back. If you disagree let's discuss it. Bobby fletcher (talk) 23:59, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy Section[edit]

Can we all agree to discuss this section and the contents on one of the gymnist's talk pages? I suggest that we use He Kexin's talk page because the debate there had more than just two people and is farther evolved than the others.

Hopefully we can stop the edit wars and just freeze the pages until consensus is reached, and then we can implement the solution on all three pages. OK?LedRush (talk) 07:26, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
