Your edit to Dell Schanze

As I posted on the talk page of the anonymous user who has been constantly making this change to this article, the rewrite that has been inserted is highly unencyclopedic, does not carry the tone of an encyclopedic article, and is completely unsourced and therefore fails to meet the verifiability requirements that Wikipedia operates under. The article as it stands is properly sourced, but those sources are being lost by this change. Please also consider the three revert rule. As I have reverted three times in the past 24 hours, I will not be reverting at this time, but I will be asking for further input from other editors to consider this situation.

As I noted on the talk page for the IP address 24.10.238.144, based on the content of the edits being made by this user, this is probably Mr. Schanze himself, editing in good faith but unaware of Wikipedia policies. This is a biography of a living person. Assuming this username belongs to Mr. Schanze, and judging from his past persistent posts in non-Wikipedia forums, I doubt that he will be going away any time soon. Mr. Schanze is adept with computers (he owned a computer business as his article states) and I believe he has the resourcefulness, and knowhow to successfully evade any block that can be thrown his way, as well as the unrelenting persistence to tire any administrator who chooses to take him on. Efforts would best be directed at helping him understand what kinds of contributions he may make to better his article that won't get reverted, rather than trying to put a lid on and wait for the disappearance of this so-called anonymous user.

Suggestion for Mr. Schanze

I am writing this under the assumption that this username is owned by Dell himself.

Dell, I support your article being the most accurate and favorable about you as it can. I would strongly suggest that you take the content that you have been previously posting, and stick it on your own Web site first of all. Then we can start working the Wikipedia article to reference and quote it. That is because Wikipedia's policies require all content to be from secondary sources, that is, a recap of something published elsewhere. Nobody is allowed to write original content and simply post it on Wikipedia, that's violating the WP:OR (Original Research) rule.

Secondly, any allegation that is patently false, simply remove it. But I would suggest:

• Remove each false allegation one at a time, that is, click Edit, remove the allegation, say why you removed it in the Edit Summary box, and then hit Save. Wikipedia strongly supports the idea that allegations made about living persons must be strongly supported by external sources or they may be deleted on sight.
• Don't delete or replace the whole page at once
• The best way to interject your own comments and feelings regarding items that are undisputably supported by news and other sources, is to first publish them on your web site, and then refer to them in the article.

I'm no expert on this - I'm just someone who recognizes your face on TV, who for the most part is supportive of you and who's surprised I didn't see you here editing this article beforehand. Reswobslc 16:09, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Photos

WOuld you be willing to upload photos of yourself suitable for your article? I would pull a few, for example, off the Scott Haws story except due to copyright concerns (the images would be removed by administrators as Wikipedia doesn't permit images to be pulled off websites without a verifiable assertion of copyright permission). However if you uploaded your own images (and tagged them as self-made) then as long as they're appropriate they can be used.

Easiest way to upload images is to click here: Special:Upload. Reswobslc 18:35, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
