Semi-protected edit request on 22 April 2014

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

It is unfortunate that much of the information on this page was deleted. There were many facts that had appropriate links that are now erased. The references about The Wall Street Transcript article and the fact that Carson Block worked for his dad, a man sued for securities fraud are important facts. Showing Mr. Block's list of stocks he recommended shorting and how they are doing today is also very important. This is a man who claims that companies are frauds when they are not always frauds. An interesting fact that was not on Wikipedia is that his stock pick in the The Wall Street Transcript article was committing fraud at the same time Carson was saying Tidel ATM was "looking at long-term sustainable high earnings growth." If you are researching a company you should know that the company you are researching and saying it has great growth potential just lost its largest customer. Here are the links for the Wall Street Transcript article and the link showing the lawsuit that Tidel ATMs ended up settling accusing them of fraud. http://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2001/11/20/283289/21655/en/Schiffrin-Barroway-LLP-Announces-Class-Periods-for-Shareholder-Lawsuits-GENI-TER-CARE-ATMS.html https://www.twst.com/interview/4833. I understand that you are very busy and this is just one entry but the public should be aware of everything especially the past of someone calling companies frauds.

Thank you for your time. Brett Zanger

and basically all the edit warring screwed up the opportunity for this to be a balanced and full article about mr block. if you had taken the 20 minutes require to read the friendly manual you would know how to handle pages like this, which are highly contentious. what you have proposed is a bunch of ORIGINAL RESEARCH. all the things you say may be true but if you dont have the sources that specifically say it then youll be accused of pushing a point and get into a flame war and get the page locked down like this. i have not been around that long but ive watched a lot of disputes on talk pages and i have read all the policies closely and carefully. now if we want a good page on mr block we have to request specific edits, well done on ruining itHappy monsoon day 20:09, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
