Hello,

I see you're a new editor. Generally MSNBC is a good source, but with WP:Biographies of living persons, the sources should be top notch and we should follow them conservatively. Here, the source says only that this "may have" happened, not that it "did". If it were part of the article, it would have to be phrased as "MSNBC says that X may have happened". I'm not actually sure the "Tabloid Tidbits" section of MSNBC Entertainment really counts as a reliable source in this context, without confirmation by other sources. As it is, it's based on a National Enquirer interview with "some guy".

Sorry, I realize you were trying to add to the body of knowledge, but this MSNBC tidbit seems a little too speculative. I've asked for a third opinion at Wikipedia_talk:Biographies_of_living_persons#Possibly_reliable_source_repeating_speculation.3F Gimmetrow 03:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
