Talk:Frederick M. Trapnell

Joseph M Trapnell

To 71.139.36.188- in regards to whether or not JM Trapnell is a son of FM Trapnell, I see that you claim to be FM Trapnell's only son and are trying to delete all information in reference to JMT. The problem here is that there is a clear source (specifically, the New York Times citation) that contradicts your claim. If you are correct, then this information might have to be removed- however, you need to provide more evidence than simply claiming to be FMT's only son. I could easily make that claim- so can anyone. I hope you understand the dilemma here- do you have a clear source that meets Wikipedia:BLP that other Wikipedia users can also, independently verify?

Hi Danamanna- I have reverted your changes for the same reason as stated above (as well as there being no explanation for the removal). There has to be more than just personal knowledge. The Original Historygeek (talk) 06:55, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to any editors whose edits I may have erased- it was not intentional. Someone keeps trying to remove sourced material for personal reasons. I'll be keeping a closer eye on the updates. The Original Historygeek (talk) 04:40, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

This is such nonsense. Can you find one iota of evidence to support the claim that Joseph is who NYT says he is? Not even Joseph himself would suggest such a thing. And NYT offers not source, primary or otherwise, for this fiction. Are we surprised? So much for WiKI fact checkers. 75.141.201.148 (talk) 02:09, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
