[edit] vandalism ceased

thanks to the intervention of senior administrators, the vandalism and slander has finally ceased. barkleyparamus should get the point and not make wikipedia a soapbox.

[edit] My so called vandalism and slander. Truth is not slander

There are two sides to every story, and most certainly two sides to this man. Please don't call this slander, b/c it's truth. Again, I can prove it with documentation. If you let me post it to the site, I will. You may call this my soap box for complaints or whatever, but that's because in 4 years the legal system has not come to a conclusion. This is my only other alternative to broadcast truths about this individual. I ask that you do not take it away from me. I will post the supporting promissory note to this site, and then will you allow it to stay up here?

The case number is 04-12078 in New York. Anyone who wants to can look it up. This is real, and this is truth. you may say I'm whining and crying on this site, but if you performed work for months and did not get paid a large percentage of what was owed, you would be very upset as well. It would be inhuman not to be.

Think of all the people I may be able to help, by posting this information. Anyone who may conduct business with Omar in the future should know about his past that I had direct experience with.

For any questions, I can be reached at barkleyparamus@yahoo.com —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.191.246.3 (talk • contribs) 21:18, 6 September 2006.

Wikipedia is not the place for original research or the airing of personal grievances. We should only include information in Wikipedia articles which can be accurately sourced to reliable, credible sources. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 21:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nauseating Quote

This is from Omar's wiki page..."Mr. Amanat was also recently the Founder, CEO and majority shareholder of Tradescape Corp, a financial technology firm that processed over 10% of NASDAQ's daily trading volume and was the largest electronic brokerage firm (by trading volume) in the United States when he sold it to E*Trade Financial in 2002 for consideration worth $280 million."

It makes me sick to know I was one of the traders generating all this volume and revenue, and that 4 years later I am still holding an unpaid promissory note for just under $26,000.

While you may well be sick, your promissory note nevertheless has no place in our article. This is an encyclopaedia, not a repository for trivia and accusations. --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 21:31, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sources

Barkleyparamus's allegations notwithstanding, this article is pretty poor in terms of its citing of sources. It makes some very specific unsourced claims ('named one of Wall Street's "Top Ten Most Influential Technologists"' -- when? who by?) and contains some biographical and business information that we would do well to source properly. Can anyone help with providing references? --ⁿɡ͡b Nick Boalch\^talk 21:35, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible deletion of article

This article has been tagged for some time by editors and administrators who have noted the utter lack of reliable sources for the data presented. Per Wikipedia's verifiability standards, it is incumbent upon the writers of articles to cite reliable, published sources for the data presented; not upon the readers to go find that data. Since the article currently asserts its subject's notability based on data that cannot be verified within the article itself, it may be recommended for deletion at any time.

[edit] Lawsuit

The last attempt was much better; this time, sources were included. The problem (and why it was deleted wholesale the moment I saw it) was it copied from those sources verbatim, in violation of Wiki copyright policy and, at least as importantly, US copyright law. The entry must be in the editors' own words; it must include phrases such as "accused of" (or it suggests a conviction where none exists, in violation of libel laws); and, it must include any equally reliably sourced rebuttal.

[edit] Removal of my postings...hiding the truth

Please stop removing my f...ing postings. They are cited facts. his article has nothing cited and bears no truths. If you leave his postings and my postings, then it doesn't violate your stupid NPOV policy..b/c it is fair and balanced. Is wikipedia on his payroll???? If so, watch out, he won't actually pay you?

[edit] IP blocked one month

The chief IP used by this user has been blocked for one month for violating US copyright law and non-negotiable Wikipedia policy by repeatedly inserting source material verbatim into a Wikipedia article. This is not about "truth", Mr. Paramus, this is about breaking the law. Further attempts to insert copyrighted material will result in blocks of any/all users involved and will be referred to the Wikimedia Foundation for potential action.

Is there some reason that very real, and very truthful lawsuits cannot be mentioned here? This man is the subject of many lawsuits, why can this not be mentioned? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.91.252.44 (talk • contribs)

Please read WP:V and WP:NPOV. The suit can be mentioned only if these policies and guidelines can be followed; previous attempts to add this information have been anything but neutral, and often did not attempt to cite a reliable source. Simply adding the link is not sufficient; the context—written as required by WP:BLP—is necessary. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 18:27, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
