I checked the first 200 "What links here" entries at Hepatitis C. Following are the biographies that list diagnosis. I'm a little hesitant about some of these because they weren't all documentable and some of these people are living. We should probably delete the unverifiable diagnoses per WP:BIO and refactor this page, but I thought I'd put this up for discussion temporarily. Sourced names should be fine to add to the list.

I have forgotten how to *do this* Another person you might want to consider adding is:

I promise to go to bed shortly Colin. I just feel it is very important to keep this list up to date as people don't realize that 5 million are infected with Hepatitis C (vs. 1 million with HIV) in the U.S. 4 million don't know it yet. Reading this list helps get out the message to GET TESTED!

This needs work. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't cleaned up, it'd be slated for deletion again. Part of the problem is that it uses the most complicated version of the Cite.php citation mechanism (see [7]), making it easy to break links and hard to edit and add. I'll also, just for the heck of it, check the links' reliability. Figureskatingfan 04:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I've removed Hagman from the list because although I found lots of reliable articles about his liver transplant, the only solid references I've found re: his HVC status are in articles about Stephen Tyler, where they say something like, "Tyler has joined celebrities like Pamela Anderson, Naomi Judd, and Larry Hagman..." There are also articles about how celebrities like Hagman "buy" their liver transplants, but nothing about why he had to have one (other than his alcoholism). If anyone else can find something out there about it, please add it back in. Figureskatingfan 04:48, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
In spite of my "problems" with the KC article, as previously stated, I think that it should be at least mentioned here. Therefore, I added a new section, "See Also," and I cited it, along with the needed disclaimer. While I was at it, I divided the article up so that it's easier to read. Maybe, when &/or if the list grows (hopefully not, since it means more people becoming ill), we can divide the list into sections (i.e., A-C, etc). -- Figureskatingfan 05:05, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
Can I suggest actor Ken Watanabe (Batman Begins, Memoirs of a Geisha) and MC5 bassist Michael Davis?

Tonight I have restructured this article. Like similar lists ( List of poliomyelitis survivors and List of HIV-positive people, both of which are FLs), I've divided the list into categories. I've also tried to move the images to their correct categories, but it obviously needs more attention on its layout. It's late, so I'll take care of it at another time.
I think that this article has the potential to become a featured list. It still needs some work, of course. The entries could use a peer review and copyedit. The lead also needs to be expanded. Once these tasks are accomplished, I'm going to throw it into the FL process and see what folks say about its length. It may need to be longer before it can become an FL, but I'd like to get additional feedback about it. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 06:05, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
I thought I'd create a list of all names that were rejected for this list, so that they'd all be in the same place. These names have been suggested, but weren't added due to a lack of reliable sources. They should be added as sources are discovered.

I've been thinking about expanding the lead, and looking at the other FLs previously mentioned, and considering what image to use. The other FLs use images of people ( Itzhak Perlman, Ryan White), but due to the stigma attached to hep C, I'm not so sure that's a good idea. If we were to use a fair use image of someone with hep C, I think the most respectful thing to do is to use someone who's active in hep C advocacy, like Naomi Judd or David Marks. The problem with that, however, is that there are simply no fair use images of them or of anyone else who advocates for hep C. Perhaps the solution, then, is to include an image of something else. Before that decision is made, however, the lead should be expanded first. If someone else has an idea, please share. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 05:48, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
So I have completed the re-write of the new lead. It basically says what the old lead did, but has been expanded. I have also included an image of the human liver, as per the above discussion. Feedback is welcomed. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 07:05, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Freddy44.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

After December 31, 2008, please create a new section "Possible additions (2009)" and make new additions there. (But follow ups to items here still belong here.) That way, this section will get archived away eventually, the outdated comments won't remain forever, and the length of this section won't grow without limit. |
I realize that this has nothing to do with the editing process of this list, but since it directly addresses some of the concerns addressed during the FLC process, I thought I'd include it here. For example, one concern was that this list wasn't notable enough. The argument against that (made by me) was that since hep C is a relatively "new" disease and since there's a strong stigma attached to the disease, the list is never going to be comprehensive. This also explains its length and lack of depth. Those of us who have worked on this list have always maintained that the potential societal benefit of this list (i.e., getting the word out about the importance of testing) makes it notable.
I recently received an e-mail from my pal and fellow editor, PeachStatePam, who informed me of the good that's already been done by this list. Here's what she reported:
I also wanted to share that I have a friend in Vancouver who is working tirelessly trying to get a Hep C concert planned for next year - much like a Farm Aid, etc. She owned the biggest nightclub in Vancouver for over 20 years and has all kinds of musical contacts. She was talking to a promoter and trying to "convince" him what an epidemic this was and how many celebs have it and so she told him to google the Wikipedia page. He was flabbergasted at the amount of names there!! Thanks again for all your help with that page! It has come in very handy on MANY occasions.
So if this concert/fundraiser becomes a reality, and there are some news reports written about it, it'll be reported on here, since this list (and its featured status) will be directly responsible for it. I also believe that this could be Signpost-worthy. For all the talk of the positive influence Wikipedia has on the world, especially during the current fundraising drive of this project, this is a specific case of a list doing some good. As a tireless editor of this list, it makes me very proud to be part of the WP community. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 17:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
New section for possible additions late in the history of this list:

This list has some personal meaning to me. I happened upon it early in my editing career, after doing some research for a client. It was my first FL. It hasn't always been a pleasant list to maintain, mostly because at first, we had to make so many new entries as people either were diagnosed with hep C or when they died. Maintaining it in more recent years has been easy because of the great strides in treating the disease. I'm sure that more people are being diagnosed these days, but it isn't as newsworthy as it used to be because of the advances we've made in treating it.
One of the consequences of taking on this list has been the friendship I've gained with User:PeachStatePam. She has been my personal researcher; she'd find sources, and I'd add them. As a hep C advocate, she understood the importance of this list, especially in the beginning. We made a great team, with her connections to the hep C community and my editing skills. I'm proud to be her acquaintance, but even more proud to consider her my friend.
I should've been the one to make the sad change about Christopher Lawford's death this week. Pam, I'm very sorry about that. To be honest, I didn't think about it, mostly because I wanted to reach out to you first because I knew that you and Lawford were friends. Then I got busy, yadda yadda yadda. But there's no excuse. OTOH, perhaps it gave you closure. I'm going to email you now, but I've decided to make up for it by working on Lawford's article. Christine (Figureskatingfan) ( talk) 02:59, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

I think that this article has the potential to become a featured list. It still needs some work, of course. The entries could use a peer review and copyedit. The lead also needs to be expanded. Once these tasks are accomplished, I'm going to throw it into the FL process and see what folks say about its length. It may need to be longer before it can become an FL, but I'd like to get additional feedback about it. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 06:05, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
I thought I'd create a list of all names that were rejected for this list, so that they'd all be in the same place. These names have been suggested, but weren't added due to a lack of reliable sources. They should be added as sources are discovered.

I've been thinking about expanding the lead, and looking at the other FLs previously mentioned, and considering what image to use. The other FLs use images of people ( Itzhak Perlman, Ryan White), but due to the stigma attached to hep C, I'm not so sure that's a good idea. If we were to use a fair use image of someone with hep C, I think the most respectful thing to do is to use someone who's active in hep C advocacy, like Naomi Judd or David Marks. The problem with that, however, is that there are simply no fair use images of them or of anyone else who advocates for hep C. Perhaps the solution, then, is to include an image of something else. Before that decision is made, however, the lead should be expanded first. If someone else has an idea, please share. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 05:48, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
So I have completed the re-write of the new lead. It basically says what the old lead did, but has been expanded. I have also included an image of the human liver, as per the above discussion. Feedback is welcomed. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 07:05, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Freddy44.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

After December 31, 2008, please create a new section "Possible additions (2009)" and make new additions there. (But follow ups to items here still belong here.) That way, this section will get archived away eventually, the outdated comments won't remain forever, and the length of this section won't grow without limit. |
I realize that this has nothing to do with the editing process of this list, but since it directly addresses some of the concerns addressed during the FLC process, I thought I'd include it here. For example, one concern was that this list wasn't notable enough. The argument against that (made by me) was that since hep C is a relatively "new" disease and since there's a strong stigma attached to the disease, the list is never going to be comprehensive. This also explains its length and lack of depth. Those of us who have worked on this list have always maintained that the potential societal benefit of this list (i.e., getting the word out about the importance of testing) makes it notable.
I recently received an e-mail from my pal and fellow editor, PeachStatePam, who informed me of the good that's already been done by this list. Here's what she reported:
I also wanted to share that I have a friend in Vancouver who is working tirelessly trying to get a Hep C concert planned for next year - much like a Farm Aid, etc. She owned the biggest nightclub in Vancouver for over 20 years and has all kinds of musical contacts. She was talking to a promoter and trying to "convince" him what an epidemic this was and how many celebs have it and so she told him to google the Wikipedia page. He was flabbergasted at the amount of names there!! Thanks again for all your help with that page! It has come in very handy on MANY occasions.
So if this concert/fundraiser becomes a reality, and there are some news reports written about it, it'll be reported on here, since this list (and its featured status) will be directly responsible for it. I also believe that this could be Signpost-worthy. For all the talk of the positive influence Wikipedia has on the world, especially during the current fundraising drive of this project, this is a specific case of a list doing some good. As a tireless editor of this list, it makes me very proud to be part of the WP community. -- Figureskatingfan ( talk) 17:48, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
New section for possible additions late in the history of this list:
An anonymous IP added an entry for Waltman, but I reverted it because the sources were unreliable. I did a short goggle search for more reliable sources, but was unable to find anything. Here's the entry, for future reference:

That half-line blurb on the Daily Mail (seriously) is not nearly enough sourcing for inclusion in a list like this. Best to find a more reliable source with some more solid information. § FreeRangeFrog croak 00:50, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

This list has some personal meaning to me. I happened upon it early in my editing career, after doing some research for a client. It was my first FL. It hasn't always been a pleasant list to maintain, mostly because at first, we had to make so many new entries as people either were diagnosed with hep C or when they died. Maintaining it in more recent years has been easy because of the great strides in treating the disease. I'm sure that more people are being diagnosed these days, but it isn't as newsworthy as it used to be because of the advances we've made in treating it.
One of the consequences of taking on this list has been the friendship I've gained with User:PeachStatePam. She has been my personal researcher; she'd find sources, and I'd add them. As a hep C advocate, she understood the importance of this list, especially in the beginning. We made a great team, with her connections to the hep C community and my editing skills. I'm proud to be her acquaintance, but even more proud to consider her my friend.
I should've been the one to make the sad change about Christopher Lawford's death this week. Pam, I'm very sorry about that. To be honest, I didn't think about it, mostly because I wanted to reach out to you first because I knew that you and Lawford were friends. Then I got busy, yadda yadda yadda. But there's no excuse. OTOH, perhaps it gave you closure. I'm going to email you now, but I've decided to make up for it by working on Lawford's article. Christine (Figureskatingfan) ( talk) 02:59, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
