[edit] Like an ad

This page read like an ad. If you really need me to point out specific points, let's discuss. But the alternative was to send this article to articles for deletion as spam. However, I was in a charitable mood and cleaned it up. Montco 05:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Founder of the Company

Dear Chella123,

I would like to open up a discussion with you. Would you prefer to have the discussion on your user talk page, the discussion page of the article (this page), or would you prefer to have it on my user talk page?

I have copied below from Wikipedia the first recommended step towards resolving editing differences, and would like to discuss with you.

First Step Recommended from article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Resolving_disputes
First step: Talk to the other parties involved
The first resort in resolving almost any conflict is to discuss the issue on a talk page, you may even post the proposed content on the talk page. Either contact the other party on that user's talk page, or use the talk page associated with the article in question. Never carry on a dispute on the article page itself. When discussing an issue, stay cool and do not mount personal attacks. Take the other person's perspective into account and try to reach a compromise. Assume that the other person is acting in good faith unless you have clear evidence to the contrary.

Both at this stage and throughout the dispute resolution process, talking to other parties is not simply a formality to be satisfied before moving on to the next forum. Failure to pursue discussion in good faith shows that you are trying to escalate the dispute instead of resolving it. This will make people less sympathetic to your position and may prevent you from effectively using later stages in dispute resolution. In contrast, sustained discussion and serious negotiation between the parties, even if not immediately successful, shows that you are interested in finding a solution that fits within Wikipedia policies.

Sincerely,

Stephen Ross Stevejross 12:58, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

It is well known that Stephen J. Ross is the founder of the company. I don't see any reason for disagreement here.--Lettherebelight | Talk 09:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Use of UST Global Logo

Non-free / fair use media rationale for UST Global
Description

This is the logo of UST Global. Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

  1. It is meant to be used in the article about the entity that the logo represents
  2. The image is used as the primary means of visual identification of the article topic.
  3. The logo is not used in such a way that a reader would be confused into believing that the article is written or authorized by the owner of the logo.
  4. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted image of comparable educational value.

[edit] Open discussion request

Dear Vishnu123,

I would like to open up a discussion with you. Below [above], I have copied from Wikipedia the first recommended step towards resolving editing differences.

I do request that you would take the time to communicate directly with me. It is important that this site remains factually accurate.

Thank you for your response.

Sincerely,

Steve Ross Stevejross 14:44, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested a discussion

Dear Chella123,

I had requested a discussion with you on your user page for a discussion regarding the repeated removal of facts that I have posted to this page. Below is your reply (which you quickly removed) that stated that you are only taking orders from someone else and are not a decision maker.

I request of you again, to help me enter a discussion with this "decision maker." Also, until he or she has a discussion with me, would you please stop removing my edits/posts as they are factual and backed up by the company's 1998 & 1999 records.

Thank you for replying to this with who the person is that I should communicate with that keeps giving you these instructions.

Thank you for your reply.

Sincerely,

Steve Ross Stevejross 15:00, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Steve,
I am part of UST Global and take care of UST Wikipedia page. It is my responsibility to update and edit the UST Global page as per the instruction given to me. The contents in the Wikipedia page are information’s that we like to highlight regarding our company. Hope you understand our requirement.
Thank you, Chellappa.M
Chellappa, the things that UST wishes to highlight can be done on UST web site - not on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that is required to reflect a neutral point of view. --Lettherebelight | Talk 07:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steve

I haven’t removed my reply to you from any place. It is still there.

I am not getting any orders from anyone, but I get directions/suggestions about the contents that need to be updated in the UST Global Wikipedia page.

I am just maintaining the right information in the right place.

Regards, Chellappa.M

[edit] Should This News Article About $130 Million Expansion Be Included On "UST Global" Page

The below article about UST Global was posted on the BusinessWeek site for the company.

In your opinion, should this article be noted under "Corporate Milestones" ??

[1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stevejross (talk • contribs) 16:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, this information seems relevant. EdJohnston 04:13, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

- - Given your advise, I've posted this new article on the UST Global page. Stevejross 17:53, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up

This article is quite messy, with a reverse-chologoical history, odd bullets and lists, etc. I'm goping to start to woprk on it. Much of this messy format is due to an edit war and COI edits (q.v.). 18:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bearian (talk • contribs)
