Talk:Dan Briody

message: The article has been flagged for rescue and needs a lot of work to meet the standards of even a basic Wikipedia biographical entry.  As it stands, it reads like a (badly written) promotional article.  Should the article survive the current deletion debate (or, perhaps, in order to survive deletion), the guidelines in the Wikipedia Manual of Style for Biographies should be applied.  In particluar:
*The lead section should include Briody's date of birth, nationality and reason for significance.
*The article should be better structured so that the paragraphs flow better.  Consider sections such as in this article.
*Make sure that the content of the article is neutral and verifiable.  This means that uncited statements such as
::"The Iron Triangle, Briody's first book, was well-received and timely. It landed on several best-seller lists, and put Briody in the media spotlight, commenting to audiences curious about the confluence of the military business and politics." 
:should be rewritten to make their to their tone neutral and properly cited to indicate which independent third party has made the claim.  The expression "well-received and timely" should be replaced with more neutral language.
*An infobox might also be helpful.  Infobox writer would be appropriate for this article.
Good luck!  --->Wikipeterproject (talk) 22:00, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Are there other examples of attempts to suppress criticism of Obamafication? 
Nearly 20 years to the day after the Velvet Revolution saw him rise from dissident to president in a few weeks' time, the former Czech leader sat down in Prague with Susan Glasser. Havel, still wearing the trademark corduroy jacket of his playwright days, chided United President Obama about the perils of compromising human rights, worried that America has missed its moment in New York, and warned of Cameron pulling a blinder, a "new type of dictatorship."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.220.150.178 (talk) 14:53, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:EdFinancial Services

message: There was no intentional disregard for the conflict of interest guidelines in the modifications made to this article. Review the history and judge for yourself; you'll hopefully see that the alterations were made to address inaccuracies with the data, and were written by a wikipedia novice. 
With regard to the refutation below, Edsouth, while being one of the precusory entities to Edfinancial, was in fact originally named Volunteer State Student Funding. The company's name didn't officially change to Edsouth until the early 90's. One could imagine, though, that such a lengthy explanation could not easily be fit into the "Edit summary" text field within wikipedia, and would probably not be the most useful tangent on which to embark in a press release. 
A corporate employee of EdFinancial Services has recently started editing this article, disregarding the conflict of interest guidelines. While I've left some of this editor's additions about the present state of the company, I will refute some of her claims with citations in regards to historical information.
Kcarlisle claimed that "Edsouth was not the precursor (it was Volunteer State Student Funding)" - however, this interview with a company executive claims otherwise. Also, this press release on the EdSouth's own website also backs up the original claim that EdSouth was the precursor. TheRealFennShysa 16:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: No title

message: I removed the "Urban Legend" section completely, because in my opinion, quite frankly it detracted from the article because of its rambling style which appeared to be an attempt to talk around the whole "Vampires, Dwarves, And Witches Among The Ontario Kashubs" issue, without even mentioning it. I'm afraid, that like it or not, that "issue" is part of the history of the community, whether the report itself is historically accurate or not is a separate issue, which of course can be addressed in a properly referenced fashion, but it's not going to go away by simply obfuscating or ignoring it. I'll attempt to put something together to address that. Also, in an encyclopedic sense, in my opinion the annual chicken dinner doesn't need a separate section of its own. As it appears now, it seems to be simply an advertisement.  cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 18:50, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello 66.51.254.97, I'm sorry to hear that you feel that other editors are only detracting from the article rather than improving it; but please keep in mind that Wikipedia has policies in place that require additions to the encyclopedia to be made in particular ways. One of the most important is the need to provide references when adding material; please see WP:VERIFY. Without references to at least provide historical context, the section that's been re-added regarding "Vampires, Dwarves, And Witches Among The Ontario Kashubs" makes very little sense to the average reader, who lack a knowledge of local history; which is why it was removed the first time from the article. Also, I've noticed that an editor has re-added material that was previously removed because of it's promotional nature regarding the annual Wilno Chicken Supper. Wikipedia should not be used for advertising or promotional purposes. Please see: WP:PROMOTION. If you have any questions regarding these issues, feel free to leave a message here or on my talk page.  cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 02:29, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Daniel Lyons

message: Hi folks, I’ve never inquired about my page before but there are a few small changes I would like to ask you about. 
I was never a “tech analyst” — just a tech reporter. Could you fix that section heading?
Last year I published a new book. Could you add the new book to my page? The title of the hardcover is: “Lab Rats: How Silicon Valley Made Work Miserable for the Rest of Us.” The paperback edition will come out later this year and will have a different subtitle but for now that subtitle is accurate.
On my early life and education could you add that I got my undergrad degree, a BA in Liberal Arts, from Bradford College in Bradford, Massachusetts. 
The stuff in final paragraph about Breitbart is inaccurate. I did not pitch story ideas about Zoe Quinn and Amber Discko to Milo Yiannopoulos. I did not urge Milo or anyone at Breitbart to write about those people. I had no idea who those people were. I saw them participating in an argument on Twitter that involved Milo, and I wrote him email asking about them. Each email was one sentence long. FWIW I have never met Milo and don’t share his political beliefs. I sent those emails in 2015.

thread_title:  This is a page about me 

message: Hello Dan. I noticed some of what you mention when i was looking at the article yesterday (two years after you asked this question...). The text  regarding Breitbart, etc., seems heavier on suggestion and innuendo than actual information. I tried some searches to figure it out. Which brings me to what I consider to be the larger problem:
In my Google searches the results were dominated by Wikipedia and clones of this page. Wikipedia is not intended to play that role.
This section needs to be either given some serious attention, including figuring out what makes it meet Wiki's significance requirement, or deleted.

Talk:David M. Ewalt

message: WP:BASIC and WP:JOURNALIST require that articles on journalists need independent coverage about them, not just citations to content they have written themselves. Being briefly quoted in articles is not really enough, either. It looks like Ewalt's book has been mentioned by some heavy hitters, including the NYT and an excerpt in Salon. Maybe if there are some reviews in solid sources it could meet WP:NBOOK, but coverage about Ewalt is what we need for this article.  Being an editor of Forbes is not especially notable in itself, either. Forbes has a distinction between its 'contributors' and its journalists, and it looks like Ewalt is on the contributor side, which is far less encyclopedically noteworthy. Again, content about Ewalt is needed, not content by Ewalt. Grayfell (talk) 05:02, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
