This article needs more sources. I'm uncertain where some of the information is coming from. It also seems like a lot of the original sources are no longer available online. They all need to be checked. Several paragraphs include quotes and no sources. I also think there are too many details for some of the controversies and not enough for others. I am working to rectify this but would appreciate any help from other editors. I am also struggling a bit with this article and titles of publications vs. book titles, vs. role titles and television titles - if anyone could help double-check that I've done it properly I would be grateful - sometimes it gets a bit confusing.

Guys, please don't vandalise this article, or it will have to be reported for semi-protection. Add material that enhances the articles quality and reference ability, not your running commentary or personal opinion about Dylan. Bcollier 05:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

accurate information

it appears there have been inaccuracies in recent edits. i read the sourced articles in full and have updated this information. i found a previous discussion on the talk page for L293D about this article and shared my thoughts there. summarizing them here for further clarity.

this article mentioned that weinstein offered to pay howard $20,000 a month, but the article states that weinstein offered to pay A. J. Benza that money. see this quote:

"He said Mr. Weinstein suggested that Mr. Benza pose as an author “writing a hit job,’’ so he could call potential sources to learn what they were saying about the producer. Mr. Weinstein discussed paying Mr. Benza up to $20,000 a month and providing a list of contacts, Mr. Benza said, though the producer never followed through. Mr. Weinstein’s spokeswoman denied that he had proposed the scheme."

as such, i removed this mention from the page, and will be adding it into A. J. Benza's page.

i cleaned up the references section and provided further information such as author names and titles. there's a button when editing that says "cite" and this information can easily be added there. i also made it so that duplication of references was cleaned up.

i removed repetition from the lead of the article as per MOS:LEADCITE. other individuals who are facing similar controversy, such as Aziz Ansari, Mario Batali, and Oliver Stone don't duplicate this material in the lead, at least not at the time of this post.

i re-included information that was deleted in the past, but ensured that new inclusion was factual.

this is a good reminder for everyone—myself included—to read articles in full before jumping to conclusions and including them in articles. thanks. CanoeUnlined (talk) 00:08, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
