[edit] Removing external links

The external links on the Bill Lipschutz page are in compliance with Wikipedia's policy... "a small number of highly relevant external links to further information can enhance an article. This guideline assists editors in identifying what is and isn't a "highly relevant" link."... both of these links are valuable to the wiki user.

The guidelines found here Wikipedia:External_links#What_should_be_linked state:

Articles about any organization, person, web site, or other entity should link to the official site if any.

Also these links have already been approved by another wiki editor.. they've been up for months. Please explain why you removed them? Filmnight

[edit] Financials

You're doing a great job cleaning up the financial COI stuff. Keep up the good work! :) --Elonka 20:14, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Yikes! You're taking heat (see my comments below). Hang in there. --A. B. ^(talk) 17:44, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up and removing information

We can clearly see your purpose of cleaning up some of these articles. But for the most part, you are removing a lot of valid and highly valuable information. Please understand that a lot of people have provided great time and effort in gathering and submitting the information in most of these articles.

We all strive to make Wikipedia a useful and reliable site for information. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.4.135.137 (talk) 07:56, 17 January 2007 (UTC).

My intention is to remove copyvio, advertizing and puffery apparently submitted by commercial sockpuppets. I'm happy to discuss this point of view with any well-intentioned editor but I will not be responding in future to unsigned posts. Pleclech 17:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

The vandalism warning was removed in accordance with the statements below. Feel free to remove this section. VivekVish 00:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

A neutral passer-by's observations:

• This was a bad faith vandalism warning by an editor unhappy with Pleclech's good faith (and probably appropriate) edits. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
• The warning template -- {{Blatantvandal}} -- used is very inappropriate with a first-time vandalism incident anyway.

--A. B. ^(talk) 17:18, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Concur with A.B. There does indeed seem to be a content dispute, but I see no evidence of vandalism, and the warning was unwarranted. --Elonka 23:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More Vandalism

Upon review, I rescind this vandalism warning. However, I respectfully suggest Plecech review WP:FAITH to ensure all comments and edits are constructive. Tone is easily lost or misconstrued in this medium. Netsumdisc 01:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

A neutral passer-by's observation:

• The article in question was previously speedily deleted as spam.[9] It was immediately recreated by a single purpose editor.[10] It was expanded to become a lengthy, POV puff piece with 10 links to Fisher-related sites. Pleclech extensively worked on it to clean it up while also adding a PROD tag.[11] Netsumdisc worked on it further and removed the PROD tag.[12] Pleclech reverted those edits.[13] Netsumdisc reverted the reversion, characterizing Pleclech's edit as "vandalism".[14] He also placed the level 3 vandalism warning above.[15]
• I believe the vandalism warning above was used inappropriately to try to settle an editorial dispute. I believe both editors' edits to the article were made in good faith, whether or not all of them were the same ones I'd make.

--A. B. ^(talk) 17:42, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The two vandalism warnings above are totally bogus

See my detailed comments above; both warnings represent inappropriate use of vandalism warning templates to settle disputes.

[edit] Warrior of Legend

Thanks for your thoughts I really appreciate you telling me this, I might consider changing my comments to a keep but I am slightly worried I'd be being biased. --GracieLizzie 23:21, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Marcus

There are several MOS issues. There are full stops in the middle of sentences, the References and Further Reading section are not bulletpointed, and "who, in year span" doesn't make sense to me. Also, footnotes should go after punctuation when possible. CloudNine 16:28, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stochastic Oscillator

I cant see the link you provided for stochastic oscillator is it a good link? Mrdthree 17:53, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Contributions

I appreciate your contributions to Kenneth Fisher. However, bear in mind, this is an article about Fisher, not Fisher Investments. Any material commentary about Fisher Investments belongs either in an article about that entity (which at this point does not exist, but maybe I'll get around to it, or someone else will), or in the section labeled Fisher Investments. I'm working to add citations and increase NPOV, and I appreciate your contributions to that end. Netsumdisc 22:02, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Financial article deletions

Please be more careful deleting information/links from articles about important, difficult to research financial figures such as Cohen. Those forbes links are valuable links, and are one of the best sources for further information about Cohen. And they showed the remarkable, continuous increase in Cohen's wealth, much like the steady 36% returns of SAC. And on Citadel Investment Group, why did you delete the CME article that had very rare pictures of Citadel employees? Information about hedge funds and their leaders is extremely hard to find, please be more polite if the information is well sourced. --Tvwatcher 17:57, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I've restored the CME link and accept it was poor judgement deleting it. The problem with many of the financial articles is that they are largely edited by commercial sockpuppets who have a lot more time to create promotional text than I have to NPOV it. Old Cohen info can be found from the current one I left by searching the Forbes site - no need for multiples. Pleclech 19:23, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
