Talk:Halsey Minor

message: This piece ranks as just about the most poorly sourced biography of a living person I've yet come across on wikipedia. The POV needs toning down, the sources need improving, and the extraneous stuff needs to go. MarmadukePercy (talk) 01:54, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

message: I work at Live Planet as a community manager under CEO Halsey Minor. I wanted to share a draft re-write of the Halsey Minor page. The current page is inadequately sourced, incomplete, and its emphasis on different topics seems random. I believe the proposed draft more accurately represents Halsey Minor’s career and fairly includes both his successes and failures. As I have a conflict of interest, I am asking for an independent editor to review the draft and provide any feedback. Jasonliveplanet (talk) 18:16, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have revised the draft to address 's feedback below, removing contractions, adding page numbers to book cites, etc. However, I only added a sentence I think on lawsuits, because most of the lawsuit content on the current page is either unsourced or cited to blogs, short blurbs, etc. Most of the current page is focused on lawsuits - does it really need more?

message: * A diff of all suggested changes may be viewed here.
* Thank you for your draft proposal. While there are some valuable additions, overall the draft would not be an improvement to what is in the current standing version. Some feedback which might improve the draft:
# The prose in the draft uses contractions. (See MOS:CONTRACT.) Other phrasing in the draft seems stilted (.)
# The draft shortens some of the legal issues surrounding the subject.
# The draft inserts minor anecdotal claims regarding the subject (
# The Reid and Turner sources do not contain ISBNs or page numbers. These two sources make up almost a quarter of all the ref tags used in the draft version (24%), so page numbers would be very helpful.
# The draft introduces a section discussing the subject's current interests and business ventures whose noteworthiness may be questionable.

message: Recent versions of the article are:
*11 May 2019 original article
*31 May 2019 article after removal of uncited text and poor sources
*17 June 2019 new article from Jasonliveplanet's draft (current article as at this post)
I have not yet studied all the details in the new article but it looks much better with more WP:DUE material and better sourcing. There is no reason to insist on perfection—does anyone see any significant problems with the new article? Johnuniq (talk) 04:01, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
