Request of changes
Hi, Thanks for the article of Mr Eric Khoo. Can i request to remove a few personal details under background information as this is too personal. Hope the editors of wiki will understand. Spouse(s) Kim Eun Choo (m. 1997)
Children Edward Khoo (son) James Khoo (son) Christopher Khoo (son) Lucas Khoo (son) Parents Khoo Teck Puat (father)[1] Rose Marie Wee (mother)
Siblings Khoo Bee See (sister) Khoo Ban Hock (brother) Khoo Bee Keng (sister) Khoo Bee Leng (sister) Khoo Ban Tian (brother) Khoo Bee Lian (sister) Lucy Khoo Bee Lay (sister) Mavis Khoo-Oei (sister) Margaret Khoo (sister) Elizabeth Khoo (sister) Linda Khoo (sister) Jennifer Khoo (sister) Jacqueline Khoo (sister) Raymond Khoo Ban Lian (brother)
I would also like to change the image posted under background information. Please advise. Thanks. For your consideration. Feliciazw (talk) 05:15, 18 December 2018 (UTC)
- Feliciazw, parents & spouse, plus vital information such as a birth date & year of marriage, are considered essential items in Wikipedia & Wikidata. Almost all of this is cited in the article.
- I am aware that Mr. Khoo may be sensitive about his family. However, this is not grounds for removal of this information. Other prominent examples of similar situations include Angelina Jolie & James Haven who both despised their father, Jon Voight, & legally changed their names as a result. History is littered with estranged parents & children. Benjamin Franklin & his son William Franklin are another example.
- I think that you may have a stronger argument for the exclusion of the names of children, as these are currently not notable (please see Wikipedia:Notability (people)). Often the
children
parameter in the {{Infobox person}} template can just be listed as a number, & the body text could be changed to "They have four sons." Ditto with the names of the siblings. Although clearly they are mentioned in reliable sources, there appear to be no English Wikipedia articles about any of them, also making them not notable. Note that if someone did write a English Wikipedia article about them, or linked to another language Wikipedia article via the {{Interlanguage link}} template, they would be justified in adding that sibling back into the list. - I would wait for a couple of days to see if & how any other editors opine about this.
- As for changing the image, the only picture that Wikimedia has of Mr. Khoo is commons:File:Eric Khoo 2010.JPG. If you or someone else have the rights to a better image that can be uploaded (please see the Commons licensing tutorial), please do so. The link for uploading an image is here.
