Chinese whispers. Living people pages are seldom accurate and constantly changing so that even correct information morphs into a mixture of truth and nonsense over time. Some pages seem to get most of the detail right some of the time, but each time an alteration is made and then corrected by someone else misunderstanding seem to create ever increasing errors of detail which can remain indefinitely. Pages about living people perhaps could be better edited by asking the living people directly for first hand information and confirmation. Alternately avoid creating pages about living people at all. There seem to be a lot of complaints about misrepresentation and a number of living people have asked for their pages to be removed altogether because the information is so inaccurate. This process appears to take about six month to achieve. Deletion of a page at the request of the person the page is about should be performed much more rapidly so as to reduce offense.
