Unless the information is clearly (1) false or (2) not in a neutral point of view, then it's perfectly good information about the subject.
- baha_man 17y agoI would care and yes, it would hurt wikipedia if people were allowed to add information about themselves which was not 'notable'.
- hughprime 17y agoWell this argument is as old as the hills (or more accurately about as old as the first reverted edit on wikipedia) but personally I'd much prefer a wikipedia which only contains notable information to one which contains all sorts of random information. Now, I don't run wikipedia, but thankfully the people who do run wikipedia happen to agree with me on this point and decided long ago that only notable and verifiable information would be included. I'm really not sure why people continue to argue the other way. Besides, who's gonna verify all the information I write about myself?
