DSK PR article

This article is incredibly biased and presents a positive view of a man with incredible moral failings. Who wrote this article? His PR team? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.243.82.18 (talk) 09:46, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

This latest matter ought to be integrated: PatGallacher (talk) 00:38, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Family

Given that no one disputes a sexual encounter of some kind took place in the New York hotel (notwithstanding disagreements about consent), are his wife and daughters just fine with all this or what? The article needs to flesh the personal life section out slightly (a sentence or two would do fine) to resolve the question in the reader's mind of what the consequences of the encounter were for DSK. Credulity (talk) 16:18, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Our articles are based on published reliable sources - not speculation. If one discounts tabloid tittle-tattle (which we do), there doesn't appear to have been much published on the question, as far as I'm aware - not that it is really encyclopaedic material anyway. AndyTheGrump (talk) 16:25, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Obviously I'm not asking for speculation. While I'm no fan of prurient tabloid stuff either, I do think this would be encyclopaedic, given the highly public nature of the whole affair. I mean, if it's considered relevant to mention the name of his wife and that he has four daughters at all, it must be relevant to mention any reaction they are known to have had to the event that has made DSK more famous around the world than anything else he has ever done. Credulity (talk) 18:29, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

Can I suggest that you see if you can find suitable sources for this, and then we can discuss what, if anything, needs to be added to the article? Without actually seeing what such sources say, this discussion isn't going to get us far. 18:38, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

As far as I have observed none of his daughters or his now estranged wife have ever commented on the 'incident' in New York or what else was revealed about DSK's 'lifestyle'. His daughters may have children, so there's a big reason not to comment and attract attention to yourself that you are indeed the daughter of a man who has been ridiculed worldwide and despised in those quarters where (mostly women) people do not appreciate men thinking they are butterflies. His 'private' life cost him his job and his marriage, and wherever he now goes he'll be the one .... When people do not comment at all on something, I interpret that as they haven't got anything positive to say. His involvement in the elf Aquitaine/Leuna-Minol/Mitterrand/Kohl thing would actually be a lot more interesting than what his daughters think, not much to crow about I reckon. 144.136.192.32 (talk) 06:30, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

His wife strongly supported him, as noted in New_York_v._Strauss-Kahn#Support_and_opposition. I doubt there have been any other public pronouncements. That stuff about chess in the 'personal life' section strikes me as fairly naff, while the subsequent juxtaposition of his sex partying in the next sentence is quite comical. Courtesy his PR team I expect. Elissa Rubria Honoria (talk) 02:13, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Μεταφραση κειμένου

Σχόλιο. Η ελληνική Μεταφραση του αγγλικού κειμένου είναι επιεικώς ΑΠΑΡΑΔΕΚΤΗ. Σχεδόν ακατανόητο όσα γράφονται. Υπάρχει τρόπος βελτίωσης;;;; Θα έπρεπε να εξετάστηκε! Ευχαριστω για την φιλοξενία .

Now this is all Greek to me - shouldn't be here. Gisele, voulez-vous traduire en Anglais s.v.p.? 144.136.192.32 (talk) 06:18, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

"Comment. The Greek translation of the English text is mildly unacceptable. Almost incomprehensible what is written. Is there any way to improve???? Should be examined! Thanks for the hospitality."

The Washington Consensus

DSK was abandoning the Washington Consensus/Kurswechsel (Stiglitz: It is a set of policies formulated between 15th and 19th streets by the IMF, U.S. Treasury, and World Bank. Countries should focus on stabilization, liberalization, privatization. It's based on a rejection of the state's activist role and the promotion of a minimalist, noninterventionist state. The analysis in the era of Reagan and Thatcher was that government was interfering with the efficiency of the economy through protectionism, government subsidies, and government ownership. Once the government "got out of the way," private markets would allocate resources efficiently and generate robust growth. Development would simply come. The Washington consensus also considers capital market liberalization essential, and the IMF took it as a central doctrine. The focus is on deregulation, not on finding the right regulatory structure.):

New York v. Strauss-Kahn and later allegations

The fact of claims that DSK was exposed to a honey trap should be included, as it's relevant. 88.88.22.29 (talk) 07:00, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

No it is not relevant and Misplaced Pages does not routinely give a soapbox to fringe theories. There is a steady stream of this stuff. Mezigue (talk) 10:24, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Respectfully, the "steady stream of this stuff" as you call the honey-trap claims should be included as factual occurences in mainstream media http://www.businessinsider.com/dominique-strauss-kahn-liberation-interview-woman-raped-parking-lot-set-up-2011-5 http://www.theguardian.com/world/blog/2011/nov/28/dominique-strauss-kahn-conspiracy-theory --88.88.22.29 (talk) 21:07, 7 February 2015 (UTC).

The CounterPunch.org "article" unfortunately fails RS for use in any BLP on this planet, as it is utterly in conspiracy theory territory. Cheers. Collect (talk) 21:19, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
