Talk:Andrew Kahr

message: This article makes it sound like the company is still using the same illegal practices in its latest incarnation, although this is doubtful. Ken6en 09:04, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

message: We currently have a redlink to "First Deposit Corp". Apparently it was entirely Kahr's creation and had no more worthwhile existence than what we have already recorded here. If so, there's no need for an article about it, though we might create a redirect from that title to this article. Any thoughts? -Will Beback 10:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for catching that. I've removed the section. Someone should try to write a fresh account of that period of the subject's life. -Will Beback · † · 21:42, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plagiarism 

message: I'm new at editing, but I can do pretty good research.
There is an image of Andrew Kahr at  (he recently was appointed to thir board of directors).  
In conjunction with that appointment, an SEC EDGAR filing [] lists the following address for him in St. Moritz Switzerland: 
<MAIL-ADDRESS>
<STREET1>8 10 VIA STREDAS
<CITY>ST MORITZ
<STATE>V8
<ZIP>CH 7500
</MAIL-ADDRESS>
Also someone asked about his history.  I found this death announcement for his mother []:
KAHR--Madlyn (Millner). February 24, 2004. Wife of the late Dr. Sidney Kahr. Of Providence, RI formerly of NYC. Mother of Dr. Andrew S. Kahr, San Francisco and Paris, Dr. Frank M. Kahr, Providence, RI. Sister of Irvin Millner, Pompano Beach, FL; Dr. Bernard N. Millner, Wolfeboro, NH; Lawrence Millner, Boynton Beach, FL. Adored grandmother of Julia, Byron, Zoe, Tony and Genevieve. Funeral was private.
Should any of this info be incorporated? Lfelia 17:06, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Andrew Kahr info 

message: In an effort to give proper citations in the article, I briefly tried to research the "Lemon Ad Award given out by USA Today (in 1996)..." statement.  USA Today only makes small abstracts of their archives available for free online.  In 1996, there is reference to Lemon awards but no mention of Kahr or his company.  However, the primary source of the Lemon award seems to be The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).  This is the 1996 CSPI article but it is not a comprehensive list of award recipients.  Someone could probably dig deeper from that CSPI reference and confirm this claim. --George3 18:23, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking also at the 1997 Lemmon Awards winners, in addition to the partial list for 1996 (above), it seems doubtful Kahr himself was named in the "award", since recipients seem to always be corporations, not individuals.  Although, it is possible either First Deposit Corp or Providian were named in 1996, I find no proof. --Georgeryp 20:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lemon award citation 

message: I removed the lemon ad award per Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons, we don't have a cite for it, and since Andrew Kahr is still living we can't have it in the article.  
The Providian links aren't about Kahr himself, the only link to the SF Newspaper article is already in the citations, so we don't need to duplicate ourselves on it.  Additionally we provide a wikilink to Providian, so readers can read up on Providian that way, which doesn't incorrectly attribute the whole Providian.com website to Kahr.  —Cliffb 04:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
