Talk:Riggs Bank

message: How much Bush-bashing is acceptable before something becomes non-NPOV?  The usual standards used 'round here do not leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling. Capnned (talk) 16:52 11 Sep 2005 (UTC)
I agree. I particularly found that the section entitled Saudi Money transfers is biased to imply that President Bush and or his family was somehow in cahoots with terrorist. Wikipedia is not the place to entertain conspiracy theories.71.255.211.184 (talk)  —Preceding comment was added at 02:28, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV?

message: :File:Riggs logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for File:Riggs logo.gif

message: Deleted this section as not notable.  While the story ran in some newspapers at the time, the case was resolved in a non-disclosed settlement.  This means that the public will not learn of who "won" the case.  The bank may have simply said "sorry", or maybe the plaintiff failed to prove up the case as the bank allowed a settlement so plaintiff could save face.  Or maybe the bank had a solid case and plaintiff begged to settle so that he would not be liable for attorney fees and court costs as the loosing party.  IN ANY EVENT, this case had no notable repercussions beyond the short news articles that were published at the time.  No other law suits were filed, no other plaintiffs came forward to complain, no laws were changed, no one got fired.  This story is simply not notable other than adding to the unencyclopedic nature of the article as noted in the comment above.--S. Rich (talk) 12:58, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: privacy act allegations

message: The info cited on Equatorial Guinea on this page does not contain a single citation.  It is unsourced and so I'm removing it (again) as such.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ratfinx (talk • contribs) 14:18, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing the EG subheading 

message: At least SOME citation is still needed for the Equatorial Guinean subheading on this page to be legitimately reposted to Wikipedia.  Reposting the same stale, unsourced information doesn't make the edit any more legit.  Where do you get your information for this?  Esp. after detailed Wikileaks surrounding the scandal have failed to finger EG in any wrong doing in the matter.--Ratfinx (talk) 21:35, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've replaced this section. There are plenty of sources out there making it meet WP:V, even if they aren't actually used at the moment. As a likely paid editor working for qorvis who seems to be removing negative info about EG from articles, I don't think you should decide whether to include it or not.
