Talk:Scott A. Jones

message: Maybe Scott A. Jones did invent "voice-mail" (my hunch is that these sorts of things don't pop into existence out of an isolated vacuum but let's go so far as to give him that because really whatever...) but if you're gonna drop the, "I invented X" bomb in your autobiographical wiki page then at the very least give a little substance to that story.   If true it's a pretty big deal (ubiquitous function in our day to day telephonic lives) and I for one would like to see at least one or two more sentences treating the subject.

thread_title:  Bold claims that need some substance 

message: I'm sorry but this sounds like Scott or maybe his PR flack wrote it. Wasn't this supposed to be merged with ChaCha? God, it needs to go away... WiccaWeb 01:10, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Who Wrote This? 

message: I agree, nominated under notoriety, although it might qualify as spam as well.  Totally self-promoting.

thread_title:  Nominated 

message: Looking at the edit history, looks like 66.170.165.82 actually belongs to his PR agency, so WiccaWeb is correct about who posted this.  Should it just be deleted as spam / advertising?

replies: text: I think it should be deleted. It's not noteworthy and in total violation of Wikipedia biography policy. Since it's already been nominated for deletion and was supposed to be folded into ChaCha, how does one notify an Admin to get this Spam taken care of? WiccaWeb 05:13, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like it should have been deleted 6 months ago.  It's been long enough that I don't know if I can just delete it.  I proposed deletion, so it can go in 5 days. 74.129.230.30 20:34, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spam? 

message: I don't think there's a dispute on this person's notability, notwithstanding the fact that the self-promotion was nauseating. I have massively edited this article. jddphd (talk · contribs) 04:04, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Massive edit following [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Scott_A._Jones_%282nd_nomination%29|2nd AfD]] 

message: :I want to clean this page up a little, with all the deletions to it in the past, its looking pretty poorly.
:Also, I would like to remove the info boxes referencing the problems of this article. It seems they have been cleared up. Any objections? The man has some pretty interesting subjects and I believe they should be noted with the facts. Thisandthem (talk) 18:24, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding information to the Inventor 

message: Those happen to be advertising links (no third-party involved), and while interesting, do not serve as reliable sources Tedickey (talk) 13:03, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I didn't realize that. Do you think both links are consider advertising? Story on LED Displays also? Think this is a site for small storys and photos? Let me know,Thanks Thisandthem (talk) 21:56, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: yes, the Indystar link has the tone of advertising, and the other definitely is.  It would be nice to have a reliable source that is (a) known to be knowledgable and (b) not Scott Jones Tedickey (talk) 22:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  If I get the information from the newpaper like the indianapolis star from a story from a reporter, could I use that about the LED lights?
And if I can do that, how would I site something like that? Thanks for being patient also. Do I just remove those other links? Thisandthem (talk) 02:50, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: yes, you could do that.  One thing to ask when looking at a link is: who said that, and why.  If it's not easy to answer, then someone will question the source.  (I can help with formatting a cite...) Tedickey (talk) 09:09, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
