Talk:Tom Swoon

Promotional language

I added a NPOV tag as the biography section is completely full of promotional prose. It's packed with phrases such as "sensational rollercoaster of a year", "dance floor favourite", "an artist that is definitely worth watching". Actually, the whole section appears to be partially or completely copypasted from tomswoon.com. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.254.4.16 (talk) 21:28, 16 June 2014 (UTC)

Legal issues

Forum posts are not reliable sources per WP:RS. This section currently does not have any authoritative sources to support it remaining in the article. Also, please follow WP:BRD rather than edit warring. -- Fyrael (talk) 21:16, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

Forum posts of Users are not reliable sources. Forum posts from the Game's Community Manager (Such as the one linked in Edit summary) are reliable: http://forums.na.aiononline.com/na/showpost.php?p=1714689&postcount=138 The Jambo (talk) 21:38, 24 July 2013 (UTC)

The Wiki page says the following, which I think makes things pretty clear:

There is an important exception to sourcing statements of fact or opinion: Never use self-published books, zines, websites, webforums, blogs and tweets as a source for material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the biographical material.

This falls under "unless written or published by the subject of the biographical material." - The author of the post is a Representative of the Company that's making the legal threats. The Jambo (talk) 00:31, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

When I look at this link I see a community manager quoting another person who says that a third group will be contacting Tom soon. That seems very far from an authoritative source. Aside from that, the post says nothing vaguely similar to the text that was put into the article. -- Fyrael (talk) 01:31, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
