Little information

Does anyone else find it odd that such a public figure in the culture war over abortion, gender identity, a member of former president Bush's bio-ethics panel has so little information on wiki?

I have expanded the article and provided a little more info on those subjects. Cheers! 87.196.73.190 (talk) 01:05, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another user has reverted the controversy section, however most info can be verified at the TSRoadmap.com site, and is accurate as far as I can tell. More sources might be necessary, but please do not revert unless the info is indeed not correct (and please do say why and point your sources). The info is not necessarily flattering to the individual, but is pertinent and true. 87.196.173.3 (talk) 01:14, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So far you haven't provided any source. Each of these statements needs to be backed up by reliable sources. Please read specifically the biography of living person page. --McSly (talk) 01:17, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I've added this to the references section: http://www.tsroadmap.com/info/paul-mchugh.html. It's not pretty in the way of formatting, but I believe the info to be accurate (that page also has outside references). I reckon we need other sources, but it seems to me like the facts. If I'm wrong on any of them, do let me know, ok? Thanks and cheers! 87.196.173.3 (talk) 01:22, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Erm... you guys seem a like a tough crowd :) I think at least a little of the material I added is sourced on the link I provided, as well as others in the linked page itself, and are verifiable sources. Why do you keep kaputting all of it? There does seem to be a bit of controversy around McHugh, why not add some? I'm assuming good faith all-round, can we get a discussion going here folks? I'd like to only change the page once we get round to an agreement, shall we get it going? 87.196.74.50 (talk) 00:39, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To Whisky Drinker or whoever keeps tampering with this page. I am using citations and am working carefully on this article. You are destroying dozens of hours worth of work every time you revert the page. Everything that I have put into this article can be verified through other sources and I am putting references in which do just that. It's maddening to have to continue to correct your slashing of my article. Make sure you know what you're doing before knocking out huge sections of someone else's hard work!--Jxtrent (talk) 03:03, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Revert of material per WP:Biographies of living persons policy

Here I wholesale reverted a not very active editor's material because it either included unsourced personal opinions or removed properly sourced material. While there is a place for discussion of controversies, using WP:Reliable sources that actually call him controversial, you cannot do so just because it is your opinion. The article does seem to need some more sourcing etc., but only done within policy. I just happened by the other day after seeing his WSJournal article pop up somewhere.

Also note there has been an Arbitration re: Sexology and I added the template regarding that. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 02:25, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

At this diff, per the above, I:

tagged citation needed or dead link IF the source probably is accurate and updating with current sources are needed
per the box at top of this talk page, removed questionable unsourced material or material from unreliable advocacy sites. Feel free to research and add material using such sources. I'm sure there are lots if you search news and other high quality sources and avoid advocacy sites.

If you are an inexperienced or new editor please check out biography related links above. Thanks. Carolmooredc (Talkie-Talkie) 18:04, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

His criticism of PTSD, DSM, and Transgender care

Why is this profile missing the details that he actually disagrees with the consensus in his profession, and clings to treatments which in fact have higher suicide rates? There are multiple critiques in mass media, he's been a loud critic of Caitlyn Jenner, for instance. His mis-deeds should be listed along with his achievements. 50.136.158.31 (talk) 17:31, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
