Untitled[edit]

I love Wikipedia but how can it allow a personal page to stand when it was created by the subject. The page on Daniel Barwick should not be written by Daniel Barwick! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.160.103.34 (talk) 01:00, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I presume from the style it was written by PR staff. I frequently edit WP articles on higher education, and I'm dealing with it. We do not insult contributors here, even those with COI; I have slighty redacted your comment. DGG ( talk ) 03:57, 25 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel has moved from Independence, KS[edit]

Re: "Barwick resides in Independence, Kansas, with his wife and their two daughters." Tonight I met Daniel "virtually" during a Zoom meeting. He mentioned that he recently moved to Terre Haute, Indiana. His wife and youngest daughter remain in Independence and his eldest daughter is away at college (either he didn't mention or I don't recall his mentioning where). If I remember, I'll return within the next few days to update the article unless someone beats me to that task!

Re: "Barwick was hired in 2021 as Director of Development of the School of Health and Human Services at Indiana University." I shall edit this -- as the referenced article mentions, he is at Indiana State University rather than at Indiana University. SteveT (talk) 05:21, 6 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article introduction reads: "Daniel Workman Barwick (born June 21, 1968, in Utica, New York)...."
The sidebar agrees.
In contrast, the first paragraph in the section labeled "Biography and education" reads: "Barwick was born in New Hartford, New York."
I searched both Ancestry.com and Google to try to find a more authoritative reference and was unsuccessful. At my next opportunity, I'll ask him, myself but at present I don't know when I shall have the opportunity. SteveT (talk) 03:54, 17 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Further edit: my change was reverted by user Melcous as "not a WP:RS." I can understand that perhaps the information about Mr Barwick's residence is uncitable but in my view that suggests that it should be removed, not that the article should claim something known to be untrue. See Wikipedia:Verifiability note #6 [1] and "Zero information is preferred to misleading or false information". Where he resides is also not particularly relevant.

You are free to remove content if you believe it to be incorrect, but content should not be added with a reliable source. Thank you Melcous (talk) 03:43, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]



Further edit: I removed the sentence regarding place of residence as irrelevant and without source, per previously mentioned Wikipedia:Verifiability note #6 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability#cite_note-Wales_2006-05_Wikimedia_wikien-l-6 and "Zero information is preferred to misleading or false information". SteveT (talk) 01:11, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Further edit: I changed the references to birthplace so that they all now reference New Hartford, New York, to remedy the inconsistency and potential confusion. SteveT (talk) 06:23, 13 March 2021 (UTC) [reply]

"CN" and "Better Source Needed" tags[edit]

It's hard to argue with these tags except to note that the subject of this page is not someone about whom there is a great deal of reliable, verifiable third-party source material to use as references. Please, let's not get carried away with the technical nits of such considerations. Either it's appropriate that there exist such pages in Wikipedia or they should all be removed. Personally, I find little to object to on this page, as there seems nothing here that's overly self-serving, seriously misleading or damaging either to the subject or to anyone else. I suggest that the caution notes stand as they are but that it would be superfluous and overkill to add others. Thanks! SteveT (talk) 02:38, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
