[edit] Introduction

Hi there. I'm Hanne Blank's partner. I reviewed the various policies on NPOV and other related concepts and am reasonably sure that I can help biograph her thoroughly without delving into the controversial. I am also here, editing this entry, with her blessing, and will do what I can to thoroughly and accurately represent her biography without causing any bias problems.

Please do edit my additions to the various applicable standards. I will not claim any kind of perfection, just good intentions. --MalcolmGin 20:51, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not all Wikiproject Biography guidelines complete.

Looks like this article was not originally created with the Biography template, so the question is whether it should be recreated by hand or automatically with information pasted back in by hand, or whether this issue can slip.

Also, I don't feel comfortable submitting the article for "Did you know?" consideration considering my closeness to the subject at hand (it would feel too much like a cheap attention grabbing strategy). After that, I think what's left is possibly fleshing out the biography a bit more and requesting peer review.

Also, the situation with the image of the subject is still settling out. I'm waiting for the GDFL license to be vetted. --MalcolmGin 16:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Planning to add more to the Biblio/CV area

I think I can ID print-only articles/stories etc. that have to do with Hanne's history/sexuality work (less so with the retired erotica/sexpert stuff) and will add them and relevant biblio information when I identify them. Look for gradual changes as time goes on.

Also, her Virgin book will hit shelves in the U.S. on 3/20/2007, so there may be more interview/expert opinion stuff to add to appearances.

Finally, she should publish her keynote address for the FORGE 2007 stuff after that happens, so there should be stuff to link there too. --MalcolmGin 14:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Converted format to Biography template

Took it upon myself and did it.

Does the References section need to include everything in the bibliography? --MalcolmGin 17:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Licensing of the headshot is approved through the Wikimedia PR department

So that's resolved. Yay! --MalcolmGin 21:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

The entire article looks great. And, may I say, Hanne is quite lovely. RahadyanS 12:51, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I'll pass that on to her. :) I think that without what would seem kind of obsessive levels of detail about her non-official biography the article may never get beyond "starter" or "stub" status in the eyes of Biography Project editors/administrators. I'm not comfortable supplying that level of detail (and I think it might violate WP:COI for me anyway), but don't let that stop you (or other editors). --MalcolmGin 03:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Forgot to note this before - requested and got a peer review of the article

[edit] Why is there a notability tag on this article?

Per notability guidelines, I am changing the notability tag to an Expert-Subject tag/template instead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.16.15.10 (talk) 04:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not wanting to get into a revert war...

Looks like someone reverted a good link correction back to the currently bad link. Anyone have any idea why? --216.152.101.66 (talk) 11:41, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
