Talk:Harvey Pitt

message: I'm going to re-remove the two last paragraphs in this section.  The first, beginning "Pitt helped hedge funds and other short-sellers prevent banks from renegotiating mortgage terms in order to help their borrowers avoid foreclosure" is a statement of fact, and needs to be very strongly sourced.  The one online ref does not back it up, and the two offline refs are incomplete.  We need full citations, with page numbers for this sort of thing.  Even then, we would have to credit this to the authors.
The second is a quote from a peice on another person, and falls afoul of WP:WEIGHT.  I have no problems with criticisms of this person's actions being part of the article, but they must adhere to WP:BLP. The Interior (Talk) 22:44, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

message: The text, with an RS ref, indicates that Pitt was born in Brooklyn, New York. An Editor keeps on insisting that the infobox, not reflect what the RS ref states, but indicate instead that his place of birth is New York City, New York. The editor does not provide a link to any Wikipedia rule that supports his insistence. I would ask that he provide that support, or self revert, or be reverted. I had left work on his talk page, but he just kept on reverting. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:310A:BF85:D2C1:631E (talk) 07:51, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Template:Infobox person, see "Parameters" and "birth_place". You could remove "New York" if you want. --Marbe166 (talk) 08:05, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  perhaps this is a good time to consider the purpose of a rule. We wish to aid the reader. By giving them information, not just as to the country of birth, but a smaller populated area, we seek to impart the information that attends the fact that one grew up in that area. Brooklyn is very large, in terms of population. If Brooklyn were an independent city, it would be the third most-populous in the U.S. after the rest of New York City and Los Angeles, and ahead of Chicago. The suggestion that we ignore all rules is not one that I normally embrace, but it is appropriate here. I submit that it would satisfy common sense.--2603:7000:2101:AA00:69FC:4556:694B:622A (talk) 03:14, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Place of birth 

message: The lede describes him as such. It may well be true, but is not supported there, and does not appear in the text below. Thoughts? 2603:7000:2101:AA00:A97C:8EE:3B5A:B66E (talk) 00:20, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Lifelong Republican" 

message: I think it's fine. It helps the readers. That's a primary goal of all of us. As of October 2022 about 33,000 articles had controversy sections.  The tag only mars the article, and unless the editor is going to clean up all those other sections, seems less than helpful. I could see an expansion of the title however. To make it more descriptive. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:B827:6A95:E3FF:9B0B (talk) 05:49, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
