I have tried over the past three years to improve the resources available on Wikipedia both on the positive relations that men can have with boys and also the negative ones - the contentious topics of paedophilia/pedophilia, sexual attraction to children and child sexual abuse as portrayed in literature and in movies. My article on positive friendships between men and boys in literature and film‎ was deleted. My articles on pedophilia and child sexual abuse in books, films, the theatre and songs have been criticised, emasculated, argued over and some deleted.

My critics have been mainly editors acting in good faith, but there have been those who are pushing pro-pedophile or anti-pedophile agendas. Unfortunately, few of these editors have contributed anything useful to the articles themselves. Some editors are well read and we have had robust arguments. Others, unfortunately, as can be expected on Wikipedia, are just ignorant on the subject.

OR has been a problem in all the articles and authoritative third party sources are hard to provide for all the works. All additions I make to the articles will have references, some to quotation son Wikiquote. A quotation from a book that clearly describes paedophilia or child sexual abuse of minors is a powerful source.

When my book on the subject is eventually published, then perhaps we will have an authoritative third party source. ..
