Talk:Larry Silverstein

message: This is in response to User:Jazz2006. I did that minor edit to make the article less biased. As it is, after your undoing, all those credits in the lead section look only as a futile attempt to make Mr. Silverstein look respectable, especially in view of the very suspicious circumstances that, in spite of all the tragedies involved in the 9/11 horror, made him wealthier still -- thus giving more strength to conspiracy theories. Leave the article as you wish, I couldn't care less. --AVM (talk) 21:23, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You removed neutral, verifiable information from an article about a living person, in order to further your clearly biased point of view.  That is not in keeping with the Wikipedia guidelines, nor is it a "minor" edit.   Further, including neutral, verifiable information in a biographical article about a living person is not "a futile attempt to make Mr. Silverstein look respectable.."  He is, by all neutral and verifiable accounts, a very well respected and respectable businessman.  Wikipedia is not a dumping ground for conspiracy fantasists to re-write history based on nothing but innuendo, unfounded accusations, unsupported allegations, and the voices in their heads.  If and when you have any evidence to back up the claims and innuendo in your post above, please produce same.  Until then, it serves no useful purpose to vandalize articles in an effort to slant them to your non-neutral point of view. {Jazz2006 (talk) 02:05, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Bullshit. I did NOT "remove" nor "vandalize" anything. All I did was to move texts from the article's lead to its body, as explained in my edit: (moved credits away from lead) for the very valid reasons cited above. All odds, however, predicted that some paid editor would probably revert my edit, and defend his/her actions with a pre-cooked argumentation, as it indeed was the case. Luckily, however, other editors basically repeated what I did to arrive at the present article's shape. What will you do about that? It appears that for you, whoever doesn't agree with you has a "non-neutral point of view". Rubbish. --AVM (talk) 15:55, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Why are there no mentions of his infamous "pull it" comment on PBS document "America rebuilds" in 2002? In other words, that is alleged (mostly by conspiracy theorists) to have been Larry's decision to bring down WTC 7 on 9/11. I'm not necessarily saying he was already aware of what was going on, but that comment has been very popular, so it should be mentioned. -- 88.112.34.29 (talk) 05:21, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: We thought, you know, we've wasted so much time and space on this phrase. The smartest thing to do was just to pull it. Tom Harrison Talk 17:05, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

text: Please be aware that Wikipedia does not aim at propaganda. I have just reverted an edit which used (some) unreliable sources as well as synthesis and bolding. This does not adhere to Wikipedia's style and aim. Please discuss edits here before putting them into the article, especially if the topic ("Pull it") has already been discussed and is so obviously controversial. 78.55.171.1 (talk) 08:42, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

text: Yes it is propaganda. He was quoting Fire Chief Dan Nigro, and even if he did have a doctor's appointment that day, I have no doubts he would've had to cancel it. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  12:53, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  No it is not. Substantiated hard facts of interest such as this one deserve to be stated. — SniperMaské (talk) 12:46, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes it is! Not one accusation made by you people is a "substantiated hard fact." It was Chief Nigro who told Silverstein that they were going to pull their people out. To suggest otherwise is pure WP:CB and WP:FRINGE. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  20:13, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

text: The only people disinforming anybody are those in the so-called "9/11 truth" movement. This has nothing to do with your presumption of anyone using Wikipedia as a "government press office." ---------User:DanTD (talk)  21:14, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

message: On 2013, Larry Silverstein tried to trying to sue airlines for BILLIONS for 9/11 attacks... even though he was already paid $5billion in insurance .Why no mention about it?? Books Nash (talk) 08:42, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: WIkipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit.  If you can find multiple reliable sources that state Silverstein "tried to sue the airlines in 2013" you could possibly add that material  to the article, keeping a neutral point of view in mind.  Of course, if other editors objected or altered the content, you would have to work out any issues through editorial consensus. Shearonink (talk) 05:15, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
