I seem to have been mistaken about his notability. However, that article is linkless and un-wikified, so I shall leave those tags there. Good luck finishing it, and happy wikipedia-ing. Cornell Rockey 05:00, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

There is a copyright violation, it seemed like there might be a copyvio so I picked a phrase out of the Misplaced Pages article at random and there was only one single result returned, and it was from the ClickCommerce website. Citing the article does not give "permission" to copy long phrases from a company's website. Quatloo 14:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I am fixing on the temp page. Do you find any of that problematic?--Samiharris 14:24, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
I understand that some copyright violations are unintentional. Flagging an article as a copyright violation isn't a personal attack, it is just pointing out something that has to be fixed. I hope you didn't see it as anything personal. As to your other question, no, I am not an administrator. Quatloo 14:38, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh, I certainly take no umbrage as to your pointing this out. I am comparatively new and still learning the ropes.--Samiharris

Naked short selling

What is your opinion of this edit? --Mantanmoreland 00:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

That is a link to an anonymous website showing a very partisan and biased approached to the issue that does not meet Misplaced Pages standards as I understand them.--Samiharris 15:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


Or these?

The words "undue weight" come to mind, and also there is another source that could be used, as well as WP:BLP issues.--Mantanmoreland 13:53, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Good catch on the error in the quote of a Times article. I hadn't noticed that. Some editors are so intent on pushing an agenda that they forget WP:BLP. --Mantanmoreland 19:30, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Blogs

Sami, I just saw your comment about not using the Weiss blog. This is just to let you know that you are allowed to use Weiss's blog as a source in his own BLP, although it can't be used to discuss third-parties. But it can be used as a source of information on Weiss and his interests, career, and so on. See the section on self-published sources in WP:V. SlimVirgin 19:19, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


This edit

Was this intended to be a section edit? I assume it was an unintentional booboo. Not sure what happened so I just reverted.--Mantanmoreland 00:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
