Tony Santiago article

Discussion has run its course

I realize that you don't like the article but I am not sure that it is appropriate to submit it for deletion and then when people start voting to keep it to delete large chunks of it. I agree that the article needed to be cleaned up but this strikes as being a little inappropriate. --Kumioko (talk) 19:57, 19 March 2011 (UTC) Editing of an article is expressly permitted during an AfD, and I can't think offhand of an article that more desperately needs editing than that one. ScottyBerg (talk) 19:59, 19 March 2011 (UTC) I admit that a rewrite is in order and I agree that some of the information you chopped out was uneeded but there were a few items that got cut that I am not sure I agree with. --Kumioko (talk) 20:20, 19 March 2011 (UTC) Those obviously can be dealt with on the talk page. The article is still problematic and in my view needs to be stubbified, if it is to survive. I've actually retained quite a bit that needs to go. Since editing this article, and especially cutting it, makes this a better article and thus less likely to be deleted, I don't see how you can possibly object. ScottyBerg (talk) 20:28, 19 March 2011 (UTC) Scotty, you appear to be on the warpath. If you could find a single problematic edit that User:Marine 69-71 has made, I would be happy to look at it. I haven't seen any, however. Viriditas (talk) 23:14, 25 March 2011 (UTC) [1], [2], [3]. That's just from a cursory look at articles with which I'm personally acquainted. The first is him inserting a reference to himself in the text of an article on an organization. The second is inserting a reference to himself and his user page (there was no article on him at the time) in the list of "notable natives" of the South Bronx. The last is reinsertion of a picture of an apartment building where he was born. Yeah, I know, it was a while ago, and it stayed in South Bronx, prominently, until I removed it. I became aware of the article on him when it was referenced in South Bronx in the "notable natives " section an an entry that was bigger than anyone else. Now excuse me while I go sharpen my tomahawk. ScottyBerg (talk) 23:25, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Re:What's the story?

I normally don't post my e-mail address on any websites, let alone Wikipedia. But I did just rig my userpage so I could receive e-mails(or at least I think I did). ----DanTD (talk) 23:24, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. Got the PDF file too? ----DanTD (talk) 23:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

MetLife Input

Scotty, I'm looking to get some feedback on some proposed revisions I have written for the MetLife article. I thought you might be interested in the draft since you're a member of the Wikiproject NYC and MetLife is based in the city. I've discussed past edits with Rlendog on his user talk page but would love to hear your thoughts on my most recent proposal, which you can find here in my user sandbox. Thanks, --Hamilton83 (talk) 19:51, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Sure, though insurance is not really my area of expertise. ScottyBerg (talk) 21:49, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Fantastic. I really appreciate it. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on the article.--Hamilton83 (talk) 11:36, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

You've done a really fine job there. I don't have too much to add to Rlendog's comments, and I agree that adding a section on Stuyvestant Town would be desirable. ScottyBerg (talk) 16:04, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for reading it over and giving me your thoughts. I've implemented my proposed changes to the article and will look to add in some information concerning Stuyvestant Town when I have the time in the future.Cheers.--Hamilton83 (talk) 18:43, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
