# Talk:Jeremy Stoppelman

This edit would probably be considered vandalism, but in an abundance of caution I was hoping someone else would revert, given my conflict of interest. CorporateM (Talk) 14:56, 30 May 2019 (UTC)


### Recent edit
@MaskedSinger: recently added the following content to the page:

A 2020 Business Insider Investigation questioned the ethics and practices within Yelp and the culture Stoppelman fostered.(source)(source)
I want to ask that this be promptly removed pursuant to WP:BLP, which requires that the citations directly support the statement they are cited for. In this case, the cited sources do not appear to mention Stoppelman, outside of image captions. Neither of the sources accuse Stoppelman of fostering any particular corporate culture.
Please note the conflict of interest disclosed on my user page, if it wasn't apparent from context. CorporateM (Talk) 00:32, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

 Done @CorporateM:@MaskedSinger: I could read the 2020-11 source above and determined that the source spoke about Yelp, not Stoppelman. I could read the first 5 paragraphs of the 2020-10 source but had to use a database because the link is behind a paywall. I believe this source also spoke about Yelp and not Stoppelman. Thus, I have reverted the mentioned edit because of WP:BLP. If an editor finds a source that specifically mentions Stoppelman as part of this investigation I may support adding it back to the article. I have also closed this edit request.

On a second look, the 5 paragraphs I found for the 2020-10 source might be a summary of the article. I'm looking through various databases hoping to find the article, but I can only find the summary. I'll keep looking. Z1720 (talk) 02:56, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
@CorporateM: One doesn't have to agree with another's edits, one can believe another's edits are wrong and they are wrong, but to call them vandalism is patronizing and unpleasant. Got no problem that the edit is reverted. My logic is adding is that what happens at the company during the CEO's watch is on him.

Oh now I see the vandalism was for something else - theyre all running into each other. Yeah - that was vandalism. My apologies. Been a LONG night! MaskedSinger (talk) 05:30, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
@MaskedSinger: Don't worry about the vandalism confusion, I needed multiple reads to figure out that they were separate issues. For what happens at the company during the CEO's watch is on him: I might agree if either of the sources stated this, or implemented that he was responsible in some way. However, the articles are criticizing the company, not the person. I need more explicit information about his role in the scandal before including this information in the article.

@Z1720: Thank you my friend. Be well! MaskedSinger (talk) 05:23, 11 November 2020 (UTC)

Someone has (once again) replaced the links in the infobox and external links section with jeremystoppelman.com, which is not actually Jeremy Stoppelman's website. It appears to be some kind of sophisticated link-bait effort that bought a domain named after him for deceptive marketing purposes. If you click around the website, you'll see what I mean. I request  these edits be reverted. CorporateM (Talk) 23:54, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

 Done. The website added by the IP user was not Stoppelman's website, so I reverted their edit. Z1720 (talk) 00:07, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
