Talk:The Duckhorn Portfolio

message: This article is closer to a stub by length standards on Wikipedia; however, it is well written and referenced so it could be classed a "start" class.  It falls short of B class as not useful to all readers. To whit, it does not have any information on physical plant, architecture, natural setting, access.  A map and or photo would be very helpful to illustrate some of these elements. Feralfeline 01:51, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Picture removal 

message: I don't know how to upload the picture here. Wikipedia won't let me paste it. I will try to upload it to the commons. Liza Zimmerman (talk) 18:36, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have moved your comment down here, as you put this comment in the wrong place. You removed the talk page headers in your edit. Seriously, don't do that. You have, yet again, put the wrong templates on this request. You have failed to specify which image you are talking about, perhaps unsurprisingly because there is no photo (that I can find) of Dan and Margaret Duckhorn on Commons. There is :File:Dan Duckhorn.png but that's already in the article. So which image are you talking about? Supply the URL of the photograph you are talking about, or no-one will be able to help you. The Mirror Cracked (talk) 04:26, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , once you've identified the image you're talking about, and consensus is reached on this page that it should be added to the article, someone with no conflict of interest will very possibly add it. Or then again, perhaps they will not – nothing, absolutely nothing, compels us to dance to the tune of a paid editor. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:08, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Here is the link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Margaret_Duckhorn.png We have permission to use it:Wed, Aug 21, 1:33 PM (12 days ago) to me Hi Liza, The ticket # 201907151000904 is what I was sent. I will forward you the email Wikipedia sent me.Cheers,FrankFrank Deras Photography Can I put it up on the page? Liza Zimmerman (talk) 18:41, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: A perusal of vineyard articles (as distinct from wineries) shows only two others that show people in addition to the abundance of airy, Conde Nast-type photographs of the various locations (which appear in many vineyard articles) so I'm not sure what benefit this article derives from including the photograph, except that it shows a single row of grapes in the background. But I'd be willing to add it if the COI editor promised to always post their requests at the bottom of the talk page. Then at least I could mark this request as accomplishing something. But I'd like to hear some other opinions on this as well. Regards,  Spintendo  21:57, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  The image has been added. Anyone who objects to this may remove it.  Spintendo  01:00, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the image. In my mind, adding a professional, non-historical portrait of a co-founder is not WP:DUE for an article of this size. SamHolt6 (talk) 00:30, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

text: Hi . As the discussion seems to be ongoing and the change has been reverted, this seems to be too early for an edit request. Instead, consensus should be obtained here before requesting the change again. I have thus replaced the "request edit" and "help me" templates above. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 03:43, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Addition of Margaret_Duckhorn.png, declined 

message: I'd like to undertake a clean-up of the Duckhorn Vineyards article. The entry is has promotional language, to be sure, mentions nothing about the legal actions to protect its name, and has outdated info. There are plenty of reliable sources to use to redo this -- especially the West Coast papers and the more authoritative wine press. Does anyone see a problem with me giving this a try?
