Talk:Larry Mendte

message: This article has been pruned of a huge amount of self-serving, POV text and tagged for citations, but I suspect it will require continued monitoring, for the time being anyway. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 02:51, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  The bigger point here is that Mendte has had a remarkable career in is awards, accomplishments, in his fall and in his comeback.  It is all factual and need not be debated he if factual.  The fact that the is a new school bus safety law in Illinois that is the direct result of this journalist, that an eternal flame that was out for a decade in Philadelphia is now burning because of this journalist and that a yearly telethon that raises millions to fight pediatric cancer is the direct result of the work of this journalist is all remarkable.  All of this efforts have been rewarded with awards and commendations - is that cruft just because it is positive?  I would argue that it is part of what make Mendte worthy of mention here and it made his fall from grace even more of a story of note.  It also made his comeback and the fact that he was the media engine that got the 9/11 First Responders Bill passed even more remarkable.  If an online encyclopedia is not to detail a subjects noteworthy accomplishments along with his or her failings, it is incomplete.  As mentioned above, there is a civil case and a team of lawyers and a marketing expert who wants to make Mendte look as bad as possible.  This smells of their efforts.  Wikipedia must be above that.  The comment above that Mendte's outstanding accomplishments are cruft belies the statement that the writer is neither fan nor enemy, there is an obvious bias in his writings.  I say allow any and all facts that can be substantiated and and can be cited.  The fact that the is a media record should show that the item is noteworthy.  Otherwise this debate does nothing but hurt the credibility of the site and it's guardians.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phillynet (talk • contribs) 11:28, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I would tend to agree that the tags on the page are heavy-handed and the attacke on the content of the site seems motivated by interests other than objectivity.  The tags should be removed and the Larry Mendte entry should be monitored for both unwarranted additions AND delitions.  His accomplishment certainly rise to the level of notable. - Newzzbozz  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Newzzbozz (talk • contribs) 12:49, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  I find it funny how "two" (?) "new" users with no editing whatsoever to their credit both managed to find their way to this talk-page. Philly, Newzzbozz (if you really both are two different people) -- Wikipedia is not a fansite, is not used to determine an individual's soundness of mind and/or (non)culpability, nor should they it be, especially in a criminal trial. If you want to add/restore stuff ("Alex's Lemonade Stand, Veterans, School Bus Safety"), fine, as long as it is intelligible -- which it was not before -- as well as properly sourced/referenced, germane, and clear. and nexused to Mendte.

message: Just added a tag noting that the neutrality of this article is disputed. The career section is far too detailed and many passages are unsourced or rely on articles authored by the subject (e.g. "Larry Mendte: My Trip to Libya"). The Guilty plea section should have a more neutral title and fewer details about  Mendte's objections unless they can be adequately sourced. In short, this article is a mess right now.
