My suggestion is this: '''Personal websites may not be used as an article's reference.'''  If we put that into force we will save ourselves enormous amounts of difficulty.  Gossip is always personal opinion.  Personal websites abound in gossip.  And, it is often presented as part of a larger page that has some attention getting element.  An example is in the [[Scientology]] article where Andreas Heldal-Lund's personal site, xenu.net is cited [http://www.xenu.net/archive/audit/latey.html] for his hand typed representation of a court document.  But also appearing on the page are his evaluations and criticisms and bias about the court document and surrounding issues.

Aschlafly, your definition of gossip seems to be information that sheds negative light on a person or idea that you support.  Please correct me with an explicit definition? --[[User:Charliemc86|Charliemc86]] 17:50, 21 March 2007 (CST)
