Talk:Louie's Texas Red Hots

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The aforementioned Orchard Park location features a large Sabres logo with a bright red glowing eye, which can be slightly unsettling."

This sentence is a POV. The part of the sentence "...which can be slightly unsettling" is unnecessary and is a POV slant.ShenanigansTMJ 06:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

"Louie's offers free coffee to police officers, ensuring that late at night there is usually at least one officer enjoying a break in the restaurant and helping to instill an aura of safety."

This sentence is a POV. The officer is "enjoying" a break is a POV slant and should be changed.

I replaced "enjoying" with "taking". Please stop making frivolous edits to this page. --DarkElf109 05:34, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I haven't made any frivolous edits. I said the neutrality was disputed, which it was. The article is poorly written. It also does not cite its references or sources. Maybe you should quit being uppity. ShenanigansTMJ 06:03, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Adding a POV tag for one word is a frivolous edit, in my opinion. If you add cleanup tags, you should specifically explain what needs cleaning up, per Wikipedia:Cleanup. Additionally, there are sources in the article. Slapping tags on articles does nothing to help those articles, or Wikipedia as a whole. --Varco 14:50, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

The article has POV bias all over the place, and if I spent all of my time pointing out the flaws of the article, I would have wasted away my entire day. Keep the POV tag there until the dispute is settled in the talk page, or the POV slants are fixed. --ShenanigansTMJ 17:46, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I would like to point out that most of the information in this article is not verifiable. The only things that are verifiable are homicide trivia, the menu items, and the fact that there are six restaurants. I ask that this article is cleaned up by removing all POV slants and all unverifiable references. Additionally, there are weasel words such as "a great deal" and "typical" that need to be addressed and modified. I have added the appropriate tags. --ShenanigansTMJ 21:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Why don't you fix the POV yourself? The article is short enough that you probably could have remedied it in the time it took you to add all of those tags and write these messages. I really don't see POV here, but perhaps that is because I am a large contributor to the article. I also think you should read Weasel word and tell me how "a great deal" and "typical" fit into the description. I don't see how anything is unverifiable and could not be fixed with a simple citation, other than the fact that police officers get free coffee.

Finally, I don't appreciate the harassment from you and your friends both on and off of Wikipedia, and your addition of frivolous tags to other articles (such as Chicken fingers. --Varco 03:11, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

You're right. "A great deal" and "typical" are not a weasel words and I removed the tag.--ShenanigansTMJ 04:27, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

The first paragraph alone contains POV slants.

The original location was founded in 1967 by Louie Galanes. This is fine. The restaurant serves a wide variety of food What constitutes a wide variety? A wide variety is not a clear, defined term, and is open 24 hours This is fine , which ensures that is a popular dining spot for residents of the greater Buffalo area of all ages and walks of life Typo not withstanding, how is this ensured? This is not a fact, nor is it corroborated by anything other than your personal opinion. The restaurant's tagline is "We don't serve fast food... we serve GOOD FOOD, FAST!" This is fine.

I think that you should fix this, since you're a major contributor. Perhaps this experience would help you to further develop your Wikipedian skills. Good luck, comrade! ShenanigansTMJ 04:35, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tags

I did some cleanup and then removed the POV tag as well as the complete rewrite and style tags. I would certainly like to see some more references cited, perhaps a picture of Louie's appeal as a local businessman could be added? Altogether this is a pretty sound article for a local cultural institution. --Cjs56 20:42, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Louies logo.GIF

Image:Louies logo.GIF is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
