Talk:Dov Charney

message: In looking through this article, it is clear to me that the tone is overtly flattering to Mr. Charney, bordering on self-promotion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vanity_guidelines#Self-promotion). Even the controversy heading was entitled: 'Sexuality and controversy', which seems to me an attempt to 'sexify' controversy. Apothecia (talk) 08:46, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm removing the NPOV because although totally in good faith, it's not representative of opinion about the article and the editor didn't include any reasons or support for the claim. The prior 'row' mentioned was in June 2008, the article has been edited dozens upon dozens of times by all sorts of people since then with no complaints. Wikidemon, a Wikipedia administrator, reviewed the article a few days ago and didn't see fit to add the tag. Something like that needs to be sufficiently justified here first, discussed and then put into effect. Plus, as I mentioned before, self-promotion isn't the right criticism anyway.

thread_title: Inconsistent Birthdate

message: I watched a video of the 1979 world disco championship on YouTube.  It is very poor quality.  Julie Brown is indeed the winning dancer.  The announcer says that she is 20 years old, which would mean in 1979 that she was born in 1959 or 1960.  The announcer says she is from Bridgend in South Wales, and has three brothers and sisters.
This online article discusses this further:
https://www.locarnoboy.co.uk/downtown-julie-brown-world-disco-dancing-champion-plus-the-celebrity-flashing-diva-and-a-huge-cardboard-box/
(The article is a bit confusing, because in addition to talking about Julie Brown, it also talks about another woman, simply called "a diva" and not identified by name.  This "diva" performed a song in the 1979 competition, watching the video I discovered this "diva" was in fact Patti Boulaye)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.8.185.16 (talk) 03:08, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

It introduces as being 20 years old at the time. So it's more likely that the 1959 year is the correct one. However unless that gets published by multiple reliable sources, it should stay out of the article for now. Kcj5062 (talk) 06:10, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

Donoghue, a paleontologist at Bristol University in England who led the team that created the images.", which sounds out of charecter.

message: Parts of the last Paragraph relating to the Denver Broncos are unreliable as they do not cite their sources and they use weasel words, "However, it has just been mentioned that Bly is unhappy about being traded to Denver. Supposedly, he wanted to become a Redskin due to the fact that the Redskins were willing to give him a new deal. Denver has told Bly they will not be giving him a new deal, and because of this, it looks like Denver and Washington will be starting negotiations on a deal that could send Shawn Springs to Denver and Dre' Bly to Washington. Denver has asked for running back Ladell Betts, who became a instant star after starting running back Clinton Portis got injured in the pre-season." Mentioned by who? Supposedly?

message: There has to be some question asked with reference to the date of birth (10 November 1978) given at the beginning of this article. Outside of Wikipedia it is stated that Drew McConnell had a brother whose first name was John but was always addressed and known as 'Jay'.  His date of birth is given as June 8 1979.  There is good reason to beleive this is accurate.  If the stated date for Drew is correct then the number of months between the two pregnancies would be very improbable.

Talk:Dries van Noten

message: This article states that van Noten fell out of favor during the early 1990s. Though that may have been true in places like New York (a New York Times article is a cited reference), he was enormously popular during that period in Los Angeles. Clothing boutiques Fred Segal on Melrose, and Maxfield's carried a significantly high volume of both the men's and women's lines. Fred Segal, in fact, had an entire room devoted to van Noten in the men's section. These statements can be confirmed by contacting representatives from either boutique. I feel it's worth adding this talking point simply because his popularity and influence in Los Angeles was so significant at that time, and it directly contradicts the article's statement. 74.8.17.24 (talk) 19:03, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Israel Allies Caucus

message: This section was added recently:
"The Caucus' primary goal is to influence congressional decisions in favor of Israel. Most often at the expense of the United States own best interest.
The main financier of the Caucus is the American Israel Political Action Committee (AIPAC), whose tactics involve intimidation and blackmail to recruit congress members into the Caucus. AIPAC was the main initiator of the Iraq war and is currently advocating a strike on Iran."
I attempted to delete it as propaganda but it was reverted and I was instructed that I needed to prove that it was propaganda before making the deletion.
Can it be stated as a fact, as it is in these paragraphs, that AIPAC was "the main initiator of the Iraq war"? 
Nowhere does the Caucus indicate that it's primary goal is to support Israel "at the expense of the United States own best interest."
It seems obvious to me that these paragraphs were added as propaganda and are unsuitable for this entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.93.29.49 (talk) 02:43, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
