The story of a former Indian bureaucrat of En.wiki (also creator/major contributor of scores of India related FA articles) is well known. The lucrative offers to get paid for creating Wikipedia pages ( or even whitewashing negative contents) is something we as Wikipedians should be watchful for. But good faith requests on removing BLP ( Biographies of Living Persons) violations, without references from reliable sources, can be sometimes entertained on case by case basis. -TC On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 3:40 PM, Noopur <noopur.ra...@gmail.com> wrote: > Have conveyed these to him.
