Just logged onto the page after hearing a track of King's on radio. Was astonished by how many hits he had. Then searched for some of the movies. Again, incredible view counts for almost every one. Is Wiki censored? And if so, by whom?

Wikipedia (note name) is edited by volunteers and a lot of people don't seem to understand that this means what they think might be censorship is just the volunteers priorities, knowledge or the information they have time to find sources for. If you know of sourced information that should go in, either edit the article or suggest it on the talk page. Signatures here are effected by typing four tildes (4x~) by the way.

Convicted sex offender

Why arent we including this in the opening sentence? Xiamatt (talk) 18:14, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because he was famous, for very different reasons, long before he was convicted of anything. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:17, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah but now that he is convicted dont you think it is kinda notable? Xiamatt (talk) 18:24, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's certainly notable. That's why the lead section has a whole paragraph on it, with five sources. I guess the lead section is trying to maintain a chronological flow. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:27, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This has been discussed before and it is about emphasis. As with Rolf Harris and Gary Glitter, King was famous for many years in the pop music industry before the sex offence convictions.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 18:58, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Missing info

Have just seen the documentary on Who Let The Dogs Out - added a link and mention. https://variety.com/2019/film/news/who-let-dogs-out-documentary-director-interview-1203159482/ 86.140.208.157 (talk) 06:04, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"He [King] features heavily in the award winning documentary about the song", says one of the edits. Yes, but the Variety source doesn't mention King by name at all, so it cannot be verified from the source.--♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 06:45, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Strangely muted Wiki page

Just logged onto the page after hearing a track of King's on radio. Was astonished by how many hits he had. Then searched for some of the movies. Again, incredible view counts for almost every one. Is Wiki censored? And if so, by whom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.80.66.57 (talk • contribs) 13:46, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody bothers with the washed-up ex-con any more. We're all busy editing Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos. Did someone say lukewarm? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:24, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
