Peter Nygård

{{adminhelp}}

I'm having a problem with Peter Nygard. 65.75.69.76 has blanked out the entire controversies section a couple of times. That IP address is in The Bahamas, which is where Nygard lives and has staff. The controversy surrounds not just a documentary critical of him, but also his attempts to block production by suing journalists.

What should I do? Should there be a block? Any suggestions on how to improve the article?

Also worth noting here, there is no need to blank your talk page; it is worth keeping the older stuff, for reference. If you want to keep it clear, it's better to create a page User talk:Alexthepuffin/Archive 1 and put older messages in there. It is also possible to have pages archive themselves automatically - for a bot to move anything older than 'n' days into an archive. See Wikipedia:Archiving - or, if you want the auto thing, give me a shout on my talk page, and I can set it up.

If you need any further help, following the online stuff, please use another {{helpme}}. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  01:58, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

{{adminhelp}} Here we go again. Two users are removing content previously agreed to; the first is newly created User:Mym5753, the second is User:64.4.94.61 (and traces back to Nygard International, Peter Nygard's company). Alexthepuffin (talk) 19:17, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

From what I read below, you have already been advised to go to either the BLP noticeboard or to administrator's noticeboard for incidents for issues such as this. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 20:17, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Please stop removing Pertinent Info about Peter Nygard

If you work as an employee for Peter Nygard, stop removing criticism of him. You are behaving suspiciously and could be banned from wikipedia.

Actually, I don't. And if you look closely at my changes, I've actually added a lot of cited information. But for living persons we need to be aware of libel.

Further adminhelp

I moved this from Talk:Peter Nygård; please use {{helpme}} / {{adminhelp}} here, on your own talk page - keep the article discussion page for discussing edits.

{{adminhelp}}

The changes here are going back and forth, maybe this page needs to be restricted somehow. The changes I keep taking out are libelous. And no, I don't work for Nygard and don't know him at all.

What should we do?

The edits are by one specific IP address, so protection is not appropriate at this stage. If you did want to request page protection, se WP:RPP.

In this case, the user adding the unreferenced information has not, so far, been asked to stop. I just added a template message on their talk page, User talk:99.231.80.143. It is quite possible that they do not know Wikipedia policies, etc, so we need to ask them to discuss possible edits on the article discussion page.

The correct procedure is to discuss the edits on Talk:Peter Nygård. I hope that they will do this.

If there are further problems, please contact me, and/or place a note on the BLP noticeboard. For urgent needs, ask on the admin noticeboard.  Chzz  ►  23:38, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Nygard

No problem. It's nice not to be reverted. Most of the editors here have no clue about BLP policy. Do feel free to integrate his ethnic background into the early life section. I didn't see any sources so I just left it all out, though I will go back and at least add place of birth there. Yworo (talk) 15:02, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Apple Filing Protocol

Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your suggestions at Talk:Apple Filing Protocol#Restructuring this article. I know nothing about AFP myself, but I can tell that the article has many shortcomings. Would you consider putting together a draft at User:Alexthepuffin/Apple Filing Protocol and getting Wikipedia:WikiProject Apple Inc. and others to review it before applying the changes to Apple Filing Protocol? --AlastairIrvine (talk) 02:49, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
