Talk:David J. Skorton

message: Rawlings is technically the interim president, so shouldn't Lehman be in the preceeded by box? --RayaruB 02:23, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically, yes, I believe that is true, Skorton succeeds Lehman.  But the question is whether Rawlings should be included twice for informational purposes.  I have no strong preference, and could see arguments being made either way. btm talk 07:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cornell Presidents Succession Box

message: Given the short length of this article, there is disproportionate coverage of this ECAASU 2008 controversy—given that this is a biography of a living person, that makes me uneasy. —Notyourbroom (talk) 05:40, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV dispute 

message: I have believed for a number of weeks that the article was not well-served by having such a prominent and disproportionate "controversy" section, regardless of the fact that the section was reasonably well-sourced. I believe that the university wishes in good faith to make productive contributions to Cornell-related efforts on Wikipedia, and that although the recent drastic alteration of the article had the undesirable effect of "whitewashing" it, it is indisputable that the existing article was deficient and lopsided in many ways. In the spirit of sensistivity to the biographies of living people, I have placed the Controversy section here for the time being to help bring the article back to a NPOV state. I strongly encourage other editors to help improve the existing article, and in time, to factor back in any "controversies" in a neutral and objective way. Thank you. —Notyourbroom (talk) 19:20, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: After heavy revision all around, I reinstated the Controversy section. —Notyourbroom (talk) 20:52, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Temporary removal of "controversy" section 

message: My rewrite of this article (done a few months ago) has too much peacockery in it. I tagged the article with that problem template and thereby invite and encourage 3rd-party editors to clean up my prose as they see fit. —Notyourbroom (talk) 01:00, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
