[edit] Merge

I think we need to merge (or link more helpfully) contents of Scandal, British political scandals, and American political scandals, and maybe some others.

it would be maybe more inviting to add scandals of other countries if you don't have to create an extra article for it but could just add it to a list. --Elian
I'm rehauling the organization of this page. Tell me what you think of the new structure. --Alex S 18:37, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Much better now! Thanks Alex. --Rj 20:08, Mar 29, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Academic

How about academic scandals? Not even a single article mentioning them!!! --Wshun

would be interesting... know of any? please add to the list. --Rj 18:22, Mar 29, 2004 (UTC)
I was just thinking of creating that myself! Good idea. --Alex S 18:37, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Corporate vs. Accounting

Is there a distiction to be made between corporate and accounting scandal? --Rj 18:41, Mar 29, 2004 (UTC)

If you can think of an example or two of an accounting scandal involving an individual and not a corporation, then there isn't. --Alex S 18:42, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
There must be accounting scandals that are not corporate, but there certainly are corporate scandals that are not accounting related. --Rj 20:01, Mar 29, 2004 (UTC)
looks like you've addressed this...
Yep. Anyways, I'm rather surprised that Wikipedia has no info about the Firestone incident. --Alex S 17:11, 31 Mar 2004 (UTC)
or about Firestone...

[edit] Removed Varian text

I removed the following text. It's not really a notable scandal, there are certainly better scandals to be listed here.

"The Varian Medical Systems toilet videotaping scandal in the U.S., where executives admitted using a hidden surveillance camera to secretly video record employees and customers urinating or defecating is a classic example of a failed cover-up that cost stockholders millions of dollars."
