What is going on?
Your entire Wikipedia career has been devoted to removing negative information about Joan Crawford. Either there's been a vast conspiracy to insert sourced, false information about her (and you also somehow have access to every book written about Joan Crawford ever), or you've been removing true information that you'd prefer not to be on Wikipedia. Can you explain yourself? Rublov (talk) 12:35, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- I agree with Rublov. You may discuss on the talk page what you think is wrong--in detail, with a discussion of the sources. Drmies (talk) 17:42, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- No, I have been correcting accusations which are not even properly sourced. I do have several Crawford biographies, among many Hollywood bios, and much of the information I have corrected is due to sensationalist content being contained in these articles as fact when it is not fact, and in addition, not even properly sourced with a means to validate the information in the cited source.

- I understand you think you are right, and yet your opinion by itself is not enough ground. Nor is your argument about "Gay fans" very strong: you're saying "he's no expert on the gay community", but that, and "he's no professor", are not sufficient to remove the information which of course has a relevance to the article. If you want to claim that sourced information needs to be scrapped because the source isn't strong enough, you'll have to explain why the sources aren't strong enough. Drmies (talk) 18:55, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
- Actually, I think that's a very strong point. The comment/opinion of a person who is not a scholar, professor or an otherwise expert on the gay community has no relevance being quoted within the article as if he were. There is no data, survey or study cited by Quirk in his book that supports his own personal opinion on the topic. I originally removed the quote by Quirk because when I visited the sourced content I discovered that it was not properly referenced (Quirk's comment in his book is not what was written in the article, it was paraphrased and misworded). Regardless, I am not going to waste time attempting to argue this point, and I will not attempt to remove it from the article again. MonicaAng (talk) 19:19, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
