Line 454: The purpose of a Wikipedia talk page is to provide space for editors to discuss changes to its associated article or project page. Article talk pages should not be used by editors as platforms for their personal views on a subject.[[User:JoyDiamond|JoyDiamond]] ([[User talk:JoyDiamond|talk]]) 02:47, 29 November 2009 (UTC) ==Article as of February 2010== Wikipedia:Manual of Style (biographies: Line 482: :--[[User:SkagitRiverQueen|SkagitRiverQueen]] ([[User talk:SkagitRiverQueen|talk]]) 16:14, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
::If you peruse the references for this article, you will find that in almost all instances he is called "Karel" Referring back to the previous discussion: you will also find that there is agreement with this position: :::"He meets the notability standard for Wikipedia, which is all that matters. If he consistently used only the name of Karel, that is what the article would be called,in order to facilitate people seeking information on him. We are, after all, editing an encyclopedia in the hope that it is as useful and accurate as possible.SeaphotoTalk 20:35, 2 October 2009 (UTC)" ::People (especially Radio fans) seeking information on Karel are highly unlikely to use Bouley, or much less have an awareness of his last name. In performance, he consistently ONLY uses Karel. If it is good enough for the LA Times, Billboard, The Daily Breeze, Brad Kava, etc. and ALL his radio stations, I believe it is sufficiently notable for use in Wikipedia. This is not an issue to be decided by either one of us. ::The Snow quote is incomplete. It does not contain all that was removed from the Huff Post. I shall try to obtain the full and accurate quote. ::I have moved his parent's names back to "Biography". You made an excellent point. ::Thank you. More to follow. [[User:JoyDiamond|JoyDiamond]] ([[User talk:JoyDiamond|talk]]) 08:07, 12 February 2010 (UTC) :::Joy - you really need to let the thing about his name usage go. The Wikipedia standard is clear. why you keep beating this non-issue is beyond me. His name, when referred to in the article, will remain "Bouley"; that's just the way it is. Wikipedia is not meant to be a webpage provider for "radio fans", it's an encyclopedia. This has been explained to you more than once (as evidenced by Seaphoto's comment above that you provided). Karel has his own webpage and the article in WP about him is not, and never will be, an extension of it. For the good of the article and WP in general, please move on to something else. Oh, and in the future, please stick with the norm for responding on talk pages. It's not necessary to create a new section to reply to other editors, just indent and continue on in the same section. It's better for continuity of discussion and less confusing for anyone coming in and reading mid-way through a discussion. New sections are really meant to be for new items and thoughts to discuss - a new "chapter", if you will. --[[User:SkagitRiverQueen|SkagitRiverQueen]] ([[User talk:SkagitRiverQueen|talk]]) 16:53, 12 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
