Leah Gabriel Nurik
Hi,
Leah Gabriel Nurik is the President of Gabriel Marketing Group, a PR firm based outside of Washington, DC. She's also my boss. She's asked my to create a Wikipedia page for her that can link back to our company's wiki page. I'd like feedback to ensure that the entry for Leah is acceptable and not too biased in order to stay on Wikipedia.
The entry can be viewed here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Alexaloise/Leah_Gabriel_Nurik
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexaloise (talk • contribs) 20:42, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
- This sort of thing is counted as a COI. You are placed in an awkward position by being asked to do this sort of thing, and it is better to wait till an independent person comes up with the idea to write about this person themselves. If you don't write the article you will be in trouble. If you write it and it gets deleted it will be an embarrassment to the subject, and therefore to you. I can understand that public relations people and firms and advertisers would like an article here. However most of the articles I see here on these topics get deleted. The reason is that there needs to be coverage in independent sources, and not just built on press releases or the like. Pages from linkedin twitter and facebook do not go anyway to establishing notability. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:17, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
Rufus the Bobcat
Rufus the Bobcat is the mascot for Ohio University. Ohio University unveiled its new mascot, Rufus, during a ceremony prior to the Bobcats' victory over Tennessee-Martin on Saturday, Sept. 2, 2006. The ceremony began with a video of the mascot interacting with football team members and Head Coach Frank Solich culminating with Rufus roaring into Peden Stadium on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
More than 500 people submitted nominations for the name of the new Bobcat in May. Fans then participated in a naming contest on www.ohiobobcats.com from June through August, selecting Rufus as the official name of the new Bobcat mascot.
Rufus was a popular choice for many Ohio fans because Lynx rufus is the species name for the bobcat. Other fans noted its connection with Rufus Putnam, who presided over the meeting to form the Ohio Company of Associates that resulted in the founding of Ohio University. Putnam was also on the first board of trustees at the University and was honored with the naming of Putnam Hall in 1926.
Ohio Bobcats and Mascots
In 1925, the members of the OHIO Athletic Board contemplated an official nickname for Ohio University to replace “Ohio,” the “Green and White” and “The Nameless Wonders.” They decided to begin a contest soliciting name suggestions for the Athletic teams of Ohio University and offered a $10 prize (that would be $121 today!) for the entry that best exemplified the fighting spirit of OHIO. Hundreds of ideas poured in, but it was “Bobcat,” suggested by Hal H. Rowland, a former student and Athens resident, that suggested the winning name.
The Bobcat mascot first appeared at Ohio's Homecoming game against the Miami Redhawks (then the Redskins) on Oct. 22, 1960. That day, the OHIO football team pummeled archrival Miami 21-0 and went on to achieve arguably the university's greatest football season ever. The Bobcats finished 10-0 that year and were voted the NCAA National College Division Champion.
The task of designing the Bobcat mascot costume was given to Tom Schantz. The outfit he created included a very green hand-knit sweater with ‘Ohio’ emblazoned in white across the front, and was literally topped off by a large paper-mâché head made in France. The question of who would wear the costume was complicated by the fact that the suit was hot, confining and had awkward dimensions. Dan Nichols, class of '63, was the first Bobcat mascot and incepted the tradition that the person donning the costume must live in Lincoln Hall, a tradition that lasted for several decades. The Campus Affairs Committee decided that the Bobcat mascot would be a permanent member of the cheerleading squad and would be present at all football and basketball games.
Our Bobcat mascot has changed its appearance many times since 1960 but remains a beloved representative of Ohio Athletics. Nowadays, the Bobcat can be seen at numerous varsity athletic events and at special events in the community. He can even be hired for Athens’ campus weddings!

| Price | $849 |
| Technical specifications | |
| Polyphony | Monophonic |
| Oscillator | 2 |

The Slim Phatty is a monophonic analog synthesizer manufactured by Moog Music since 2011. It is considered to be an entry-level synthesizer in the Moog family. Its design is based off of the Little Phatty, which in turn is a more modernized version of the Minimoog Voyager. It is among the first synthesizers created and produced following the death of Moog founder Robert Moog in 2005. The Slim Phatty is also the first Moog (beside the Little Phatty) that is capable of USB connectivity.
Features
The Slim Phatty is able to make use of MIDI controller integration. The only other Moog synthesizers that can boast this capability are the Little Phatty, Minimoog Voyager, and the early Memorymoog+. It also features two robust oscillators, diverse tuning controls, and the patented “Moog Ladder” filter. Unlike many synthesizers, it does not possess a keyboard, so a sound or MIDI input is required in order to be able to modulate or filter sounds. It is also small in size, weighing in at roughly 5.5lbs. For these reasons, the Slim Phatty is useful in both studio recording and live playing.

Lake Snowden
Lake Snowden is a notable topic that should have a wikipedia article because it is recreational park that people would be interested to know about. Anything as permanent as a lake should have a wikipedia article written about it. There are plenty of credible sources that support the evidence given in the article including: http://lakesnowden.com/home, http://www.dnr.state.oh.us/Home/FishingSubhomePage/LakeMapLandingPage/LakeSnowdenFishingMap/tabid/19550/Default.aspx, and http://www.birdhocking.com/lake_snowden.htm. This article talks about what there is to do at Snowden Lake and what you will find there. This is extremely beneficial for people to read about, who are looking for things to do in the Athens, Albany area. The history of Lake Snowden was also very interesting because it gives you a look into the past of Snowden Lake. There are many lakes on wikipedia, so I think this particular one would be helpful and successful as an article on wikipedia.

AVW Productions
The topic is about a Athens, OH video production group from Ohio University that produces TV shows for the local television station WOUB II. The topic is notable because of how exclusive it is. AVW Productions are a big part of Ohio University providing entertainment for the local Athens public, also providing charity to gifted students (normally age 5-13) to start to learn about the media business.
Here's a couple links to more detail about AVW:

Athens Ohio Halloween Block Party
This article defines what the Block Party is about and gives some information about it. The article addresses when the Block Party started, how much money is spent on security to control the Block Party, and how many people attend on average a year. I believe that this article should be included on Wikipedia's data base because of the fact that it has credible sources and is a topic that has not yet been covered on Wikipedia. A few of the sources given in the article are from newspaper articles and magazine articles such as: http://www.athensnews.com/ohio/article-30933-a-journey-through-the-history-of-halloween-in-athens.html and http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/web/COM1051858/index.htm Jc349108 (talk) 14:35, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
