A tag has been placed on Peter Shatner (actor, author, producer), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Moreover, please add more verifiable sources, not only 3rd party sources. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion (((db-...))
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Buggie111 (talk) 03:10, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to William Shatner. Thank you. Evan (talk|contribs) 13:45, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
Posting the same message four times is not going to get you a different result. Stop now. Evan (talk|contribs) 14:42, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at William Shatner shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Your recent edits to William Shatner could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. This warning is talking about the edit summary left here GB fan 14:59, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
Dear Spinningspark,
Your message, in particular "We do not consider IMdB reliable for biographical information," is confusing considering that I have - perhaps in a clumsy way - posted two articles: one from The Wall Street Journal and one from The Herald Tribune which confirm that I am the son of William Shatner.
I'm not referencing IMDB. And if you google me you will will find many other such articles which confirm this information.
Please let me know how I can be of further assistance to confirm these references.

To all:
Forgive my lack of understanding of the complex process of editing Wikipedia.
I have decided to stand-down in the matter, now that I understand the processes more clearly.
The consensus will decide.

This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, as you did at William Shatner, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

In addition to the issue of edit warring, it has also been clearly explained to you why the sources you have given are not adequate to support your edits. The need for reliable sources is especially important in this case, as it involves making unsubstantiated statements about another person. Furthermore, since you clearly have a personal involvement in the issue on which you have been editing, Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines indicate that you should not be making the edits yourself. You should instead explain on the article's talk page why you think the changes should be made, and what sources support them, and try to get consensus from other editors for the changes. You should make sure that the changes you propose do not go beyond what the sources you can provide actually say: for example, a reliable source which states who your father is may perhaps be considered be enough justification for inclusion of a mention of you in a Wikipedia article about him, but to include mention of who your mother is you need to provide a reliable source which states that she is your mother. These facts have substantially been explained to you before, but I am collecting them together and restating them for clarity, as you seem not to have fully taken them on board.

Request reason:
James B Watson is lying when he says that "William Shatner categorically denies that Peter Shatner is his son." William Shatner has NEVER denied that Peter Shatner is his son publicly or otherwise. James B. Watson is committing fraud. Since an article was published in The Tampa Tribune about Peter Shatner, William Shatner has never responded. The article states: Initially, the actor agreed he was the father, according to Sloan, but he later renounced the idea. “Mr. Shatner has 3 lovely daughters but NO son,” Shatner’s publicist Cherry Hepburn told the Tribune in an email. “This person has fraudulently portrayed himself as Mr. Shatner’s son for years.” Asked if Shatner knew Sloan’s mother, Hepburn replied, “Not that I am aware of.” The editors of the Tribune have stated in fact, since the publication, that William Shatner's silence is "DAMNING." I repeat: I challenge James B. Watson or anyone, to find a direct statement from William Shatner stating that he is not Peter Shatner's biological father. Until then, remove the block and undo the erasure of the information that has been posted about Peter Shatner since a committee posted it last August 2014.
Decline reason:
The onus of proof is on you to prove that you are his son, not on us to prove that you are not. OhNoitsJamie Talk 17:53, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the ((unblock)) template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I have already presented the evidence. You have no more authority to deny the evidence which include several eye witness and numerous other articles that confirm that Peter Shatner is the son of William Shatner than any other speculator with no information. William Shatner has never denied this. James B. Watson tried to falsely quote William Shatner.Petershatner (talk) 18:50, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[2][3][4][5][6][7]
References
You have no source that is a direct quote from my father, where he denies that I am his "biological" son. Up until the publishing of The Tampa Tribune article last Friday, no one from my father's camp had made any denial other that perhaps Erik Haman's parsing of the word Father. He told me in 2011, "You already have parents, you were adopted." this is just semantic gamesmanship.
My father accepted me as his son privately in 1984.
Here is the Legal Definition of Paternity on Wikipedia's own site:
In law, paternity is the legal or biological relationship between a child and his or her biological father. Paternity law deals with the rights and obligations of both the biological or natural father and the child to each other as well as to others. A child's paternity may be relevant in relation to issues of legitimacy, inheritance and rights to a putative father's title or surname, as well as the biological father's rights to custody and obligations for child support.
A child born to a married woman during a marriage is presumed under common law[1] to be the child of her husband by a "presumption of paternity" or presumption of legitimacy. In consideration of possibly misattributed paternity, these presumptions may be rebutted by evidence to the contrary, for example, in disputed child custody and child support cases during divorce, annulment or legal separation.
In the case of a father not married to a child's mother, a man may come forward and accept the paternity of the child in what is called a "voluntary acknowledgment of paternity", the mother or government can file a petition for a determination of paternity against a putative father, or paternity can be determined by the courts through estoppel over time. Today, when paternity is in dispute or doubt, paternity testing may be used to conclusively resolve the issue.
I was conceived by unwed parents. While I was being carried to term by my mother Kathy McNeil, my Father was marrying Gloria Rand in Scotland in August of 1956. I was born December 9, 1956.
I have rights to my father's surname according to Common Law and I have exercised that right. No one has sued me over this for the last 6 years that I have laid claim to the surname, "Shatner." In fact, Erik Hyman addresses me in his letter of 2011 as Peter Shatner - a presumption of acceptance.
As to rights to inheritance, Wikipedia states:
If the context of inheritance rights, it will be the heirs of the deceased person who are attempting to dispute or establish paternity. In some states, DNA testing will be dispositive to establish paternity.
I sincerely hope that you are not acting in some way as an "agent" of my father or his associates.
All of your actions to are at your own risk as it pertains to applicable law.Petershatner (talk) 15:03, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
