Talk:Zarte Siempre

From Countdown

Please could someone fact-check this article? It seems to have received quite a bit of weird trolling (or possibly attempts at humour, hard to tell). Charlie 22:32, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Every single questionable fact was added by a genuine Apterite, so definitely not trolling. The first edit was by Gilester, who apparently created the page with made-up stuff per Zarte's request.--Launchballer 23:04, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Yep, I remember reading somewhere (can't remember where) from Zarte that he is happy with his page and would be annoyed if it was changed. So I guess the question is whether pages should be strictly factual or entertaining with the subject's approval. There's a few that would need reviewing if factual is the standard TheWikiMan 23:33, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

A lot - a LOT - of the original versions of guest biographies, which were written by people like Charlie, Corby, Martin Gardner, etc., are meant to be humorous. I say "meant to be" because quite a lot of them are almost libellous. Johnny Canuck changed a few of them a few years ago. The Doctor 00:31, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
