Juan Dominguez (lawyer)

Answered

– Anonymous editor blocked for edit warring, article revised substantially. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 15:19, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Various anonymous editors from 198.185.18.207 and 38.98.37.10 have contested that the information on Juan Dominguez (lawyer), a BLP article, is not NPOV and against wikipedia policy. They have continually deleted content on the article stating that J. Dominguez was accused of attorney fraud and resulting in the legal case being dismissed. The anonymous editor continue to insist upon deleting the section. In fact, they previously replaced it with a blurb stating ONLY that they have awarded millons of dollars on his behalf, which does not appear possible since the verdicts were terminated. For me this borders on an attempt to whitewash a BLP article that is completely in-line with Wikipedia:Core content policies. I would really appreciate help on this. Jeanpetr (talk) 14:56, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the first sentence: "... distinguished bi-lingual Los Angeles-based attorney with one of the most well-known and successful personal injury and consumer rights law practices in Southern California." This article requires an overhaul. Holy moley. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 15:06, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely. It also consistently refers to "Juan", instead of "Dominguez". I've tagged it for cleanup but am too busy myself for this. Hope someone will jump in. --Randykitty (talk) 15:09, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the quick feedback, any help would be greatly appreciated. It's a bit tough going against multiple anoymous editors who try to push their POV while accusing you of POV. The article definitely needs a massive overhaul, in ALL areas. Jeanpetr (talk) 15:13, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Question before we continue more: Is this fellow even notable? —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 15:30, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He's notable enough. In fact, there is an entire documentary on his lead in Tellez v. Dole called Bananas!*. This was how I actually started becoming involved in the article since, while what was shown in the doc was interesting, the case revealed that neither "side" was completly clean. Jeanpetr (talk) 15:37, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno. The documentary seems to be about the case, not about this fellow himself. But I'll take your word for it for the time being. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 15:39, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

He was a rather promenant part of the documentary, to say the least. You can see him everywhere throughout the trailer, many many times. Jeanpetr (talk) 15:44, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would argue that this was the case that made him publicly visible. Jeanpetr (talk) 15:46, 9 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability does not revolve around how many times he appears in the trailer. That, by itself, does not make him notable. If the documentary focused on him, at least for part of it, then that might count as one reliable source, but more would still be needed. However, WP:ONEEVENT might apply here, meaning it would be better to have an article on the Tellez v. Dole case than on one of the lawyers involved. Spinning Spark 07:47, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This, basically. While Dominguez does seem to have some relevance outside Tellez, I think this all needs to be carefully vetted. The awards, the verdicts and settlements, for instance, need to be checked for significance, because I think these are the only other source of notability for Dominguez. And honestly, I would argue the verdicts/settlements are not intrinsically indicators of notability from a Wikipedia sense—if there's significant coverage of those verdicts/settlements, that's something else. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 16:46, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've been editing this article to streamline it and make other improvements, but I have no particular investment in it and do not object to any thoughts re deleting, merging or recasting it. JohnInDC (talk) 18:04, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I had a quick look through, but no more - but my initial reaction is that he appears notable for the Bananas! scandal, and not a lot else, which would make him a WP:BLP1E - it's not like he's gone out of his way to be a celebrity lawyer or anything, and he probably didn't jump up and down with delight at the thought of being in the movie - and eligible for deleting or redirecting elsewhere. One other quick question - "He has been named a 'Super Lawyer'" - so what? Can somebody clarify if superlawyers.com is actually a reliable source, or is it just a directory of any old lawyer who happens to be asked to be put in? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 15:19, 11 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's somewhere in between, but for Wikipedia purposes, it seems closer to the latter. From their FAQ:

A lawyer on our list is not a “Super Lawyer,” or, for that matter, a “Rising Star.” Rather, proper usage would be he or she “has been selected for inclusion in Super Lawyers–Rising Stars Edition 2008.” Used properly, the term is not descriptive, comparative or self-aggrandizing (which in some jurisdictions could raise ethical concerns).

So we probably shouldn't even be using the language "He has been named a “Super Lawyer” for four years". Given the difficult nature of addressing this factoid in a NPOV fashion, I argue we shouldn't mention it at all, nor consider it an indicator of notability. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 13:44, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a little more on Super Lawyers' process, for what it's worth. Selection Process. So, it probably isn't bunkum, but I don't think we should be going with "He's in Super Lawyers" as an indicator of notability. Perhaps if he was featured in an article in Super Lawyers, that would be something else... but anything short would seem not to be "significant coverage" in the WP:GNG sense. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 13:52, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this issue is still ongoing; the possibly COI-afflicted editor has blanked the section on Tellez v. Dole claiming a consensus existed for it on the talk page. I don't believe this is correct, and furthermore, the Tellez v. Dole case would seem to be the only matter that makes this subject notable. Further input would be welcomed. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 15:21, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delhi state assembly elections, 2013

Needs an experienced editor's opinion on possible misinterpretation or misuse of Wikipedia policies in a dispute.

Dispute is regarding 'whether to include the candidate list per constituency' of all the political parties in this article. Those who oppose the inlusion state that 1) It violates WP:POLITICIAN 2) It violates WP:UNDUE 3) Similarity/Analogoues nature of the issue to 'Wikipedia's featured article list' can not be used as the criteria for inclusion

Those who support the view say that

1) Creating biography of candidate is not a purpose of inclusion. So even though many of the candidates do not have Wikipedia article on them, their inclusion in the candidate list does not violate WP:POLITICIAN 2) As all the major party's candidate list will eventually be in the table, neutrality is maintained so again it does not violate WP:UNDUE. 3) Wikipedia's featured article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_members_of_the_Maryland_House_of_Delegates also includes name of the candidates who do not have any Wikipedia article on them thus making it all Wikipedia policy compliant.--ratastro (talk) 14:23, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your example of List of current members of the Maryland House of Delegates is not very relevant as a precedent. First of all, this is a list of actual members, not of candidates and secondly, it is a list, not an article about an election. Articles about elections such as United States elections, 2014 or United Kingdom local elections, 2012 do not list every candidate and WP:UNDUE could well be relevant if every minor candidate was given equal treatment. However, articles about the result of an election in specific districts do generally give the results for all candidates. Examples: United States House of Representatives elections in Connecticut, 2012 and Barnsley Council election, 2012. Hope that helps. Spinning Spark 17:02, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@Spinningspark, Thanks for your quick reply & pointing to the difference between the featured list & list under question on Delhi state assembly elections, 2013. I agree with what you are saying. While going through the Wikipedia articles, I came across following links where the candidate names are announced even though 1) Not all the candidate lists are open/announced 2) A candidate does not have Wikipedia article on self. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_Iowa,_2014 & https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Senate_election_in_Nebraska,_2014 Can you please let me know you thoughts on this?--ratastro (talk) 01:42, 23 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The problem with comparing those two lists to the one in question is that WP:UNDUE works a very facts-based analysis, rendering arguments based on practice with similar articles difficult at best. Specifically, those two articles you link each deal with elections for two positions at the national level. A more apt comparison might be to look at Illinois House of Representatives elections, 2012 or Massachusetts general election, 2014, both of which are elections below the national level, and involve the contention of many positions. Neither of those articles has a laundry list of the individuals running for each district, and I suspect you'll find the same for many if not most similar state-level elections in the United States.

Additionally, there are WP:UNDUE considerations insofar as the edits reverted in the Delhi elections article only included the candidates from a single political party, featuring said candidates prominently. Even the U.S. Senate elections articles you linked featured the candidate lists from both major political parties in the United States. I'm a bit curious as to why there are no third party candidates listed, but those may just be peculiarities of the specific states or parties themselves; regardless, the Republican and Democratic parties are themselves so controlling in American politics that it likely satisfies WP:DUE to list just those two until there is more major coverage of third party candidates.

But, perhaps even more importantly (in order to stall the likely counter-argument that articles X, Y, and Z do something else), Wikipedia just doesn't work like this. To use an analogy, Wikipedia is much more like a civil law jurisdiction: we don't really do analysis by precedent, and what other articles are doing at any given time is barely even considered advisory (outside of the policymaking process, where it's still going to just be advisory). Hope that helps. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 01:39, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reconquista (Mexico) edits by some person calling himself "Boogerpatrol"

Boogerpatrol has removed specific content from the text of "Reconquista (Mexico) (more than once) and posted some nonsense on my talk about "opinion", when the entire premise of the subject "Reconquista (Mexico)" is opinion, not factual. The text under this subject (Reconquista {Mexico}) needs to include facts, at the present time it does not. The sources used in the article in question are opinions, the persons quoted in the article are expressing opinions (and wishful thinking), not facts, therefore the "sources" in the existing article are not factual. It is, in fact, Boogerpatrol's "opinion", apparently, that the so-called "sources" in the article, which he has not removed, are "facts", because they are "sourced", but the sources are to opinions, not to actual historical fact, therefore those sources are not valid. Boogerpatrol's opinion should not be the motivating factor in the removal of facts from an article which is rife with fiction at present, and is in dire need of correction, which Boogerpatrol does not seem able to discern, or act on. His education on the subject he is editing is either too poor, or non-existent, for him to be editing,... and he does not respond well to getting an education on historical facts on the subject at hand, because when I posted facts on his talk page in response to his editing, his reply was to tell me not to post to him in reply again. Boogerpatrol needs to either stick to a subject which he knows something about to edit, or base his edits on something other than his own opinion, because the opinion of others, used as "sources" does not make those opinions "facts".CheyenneZ (talk) 15:55, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It would appear that at least one other editor shares Boogerpatrol's concerns. Rather than get into an edit war by restoring material that two editors have removed (as unsourced and NPOV), you should first try to engage with them on the Talk page discussion that has been opened there. JohnInDC (talk) 16:02, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Boogerpatrol violated the three-revert rule on this page. I did engage them on the talk discussion, and Boogertown, as I wrote in the above text, proceeded to tell me not to post any response to him in the talk. So deal with him, and block him for violating the three-revert rule. The subject of the article is obviously one that Boogerpatrol, and at least one other editor are lacking in education on, therefore, neither of them should be editing that page.CheyenneZ (talk) 16:08, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From the revision history it appears that Boogerpatrol has reverted three times within the last 24 hours, whereas you have done so four times. This puts you in violation of 3RR, not Bp. Favonian (talk) 16:26, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)Well, he didn't violate 3RR, and the comment about not posting further comments related to his Talk page (which is not really the right place). He has in fact invited your input on the article Talk page. My quick read is that he's merely ensuring that the article remains free of personal opinion, which is appropriate, and that the contested material should stay out. But of course this is not the place for that discussion either, and that should continue at the article Talk page. JohnInDC (talk) 16:29, 2 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Misnamed articles

Resolved

– Resolved per OP. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 15:18, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has created two articles (List of Wisconsin Historical Markers in Kewaunee County and List of Wisconsin Historical Markers in Brown County) that are misnamed. Wisconsin Historical Markers are official markers placed by the Wisconsin Historical Society. Only one of the seven markers listed in the two articles is a Wisconsin Historical Marker. (See [1] for an official list.) Therefore, the articles should be renamed "List of historical markers in Kewaunee/Brown County, Wisconsin". How can this be accomplished? 70.235.84.220 (talk) 16:50, 7 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

CAN'T FIND FORMAT ERROR: New entry appears outside table

Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events —

Using the first table's final entry (2012 Dec 31, Warren Jeffs) in the first table as my template, I added an entry regarded Michele Bachmann. Text does appear on the preview page, but it falls outside the table. The footnote citations are likewise inconsistent. Clearly I'm missing some table formatting element. I did read the specific tutorial pages but saw nothing on this; even going character by character, I can't find it. What have I neglected? (see my links for screenshots).

Thank you.

Burzynski Clinic

Answered

– Editor directed to discuss this matter at Talk:Burzynski Clinic. —/Mendaliv/^2¢/_Δ's/ 19:07, 12 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just finished reading the Wikipedia exposé on Dr. Burzynski's ANP treatment. I have several questions:

Your article cites the Cancer Is Serious Business movie as “one sided and biased”...I failed to see any argument in favor of ANP and/or Dr. Burzynski's successes....has he had any? How has he been able to withstand years of being indicted by the FDA and still be in business? Why am I in touch with several people who have had success with ANP, and why are there patients who particpated in Phase III Clinical Trials prior to 2012 still allowed (by the FDA) to have access to ANP therapy. Most importantly, if these patients (Bay Area's Noah Stout for one) are still alive because they were allowed access to ANP therapy, why hasn't that been reported?

I'm not interested in politics or conspiracy theories....just appreciate a "level playing field!"

Inheritance of importance (not notability)

Is importance inherited? I tagged The R Music Group for WP:CSD A7. I hadn't found anything in the article asserting importance, and in addition I had run a Google check and found no substantial coverage to support notability.

In response, the author posted this on the talk page:

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (this is a record label and management company. that recently signed a deal with Ingrooves Fontana. Page was not finished being setup within all of the guidlines of wikipedia. I would like to finish the page.)

I know notability is usually deemed not to be inherited, but is importance for purposes of determining whether an author has implicitly asserted it? In this case, even if the article had mentioned INgrooves Fontana from the beginning, and even if I had already known the significance of INgrooves, would it follow that a statement that a record company has signed Ingrooves should be interpreted as an assertion of the record company's importance? (By the way: At the time I tagged the article, there had been no mention of INgrooves. It was added afterwards. I don't know if that makes any difference.) —Largo Plazo (talk) 11:55, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As a general principle, it generally isn't held to be. But if an article author is basically saying "please hold off, I'm not finished yet", we lose little by giving them a bit of time to finish what they were doing, so I'd suggest just holding off for a day or two in this case. Suggest getting much better third-party verifiability, etc ('cos it's got almost none as yet) - treat this as an opportunity to help the contributor - David Gerard (talk) 12:06, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That being said, this and other other articles created by the editor appear to be promotional in nature, related to the editor's business (judging by the username anyhow). Holding off isn't a bad idea but I'm not completely confident that these subjects are going to find notability (yet). JohnInDC (talk) 13:33, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Need review/assistance for this page

This article is isolated but viewed, included a large amount of WP:Fringed material and hardly any religions compared to pages like Christianity and other religions until I added a lot of content to it, and some user named "Blackguard_SF" randomly started reverting the edits. Other editor joined this, and presented the views that he/she opposed, the issue went to DR[2], the editor seems to have refrained from this subject, but the user "Blackguard_SF" still seems to be disagreeing with the edits, and still reverting back to the Fringed version, after claiming "written like essay, major issues", while he never discussed this topic in talk page or anywhere else, but sure made personal attack, which is obviously not helpful or good faith. Point is, that this page needs to be reviewed once again, as it's fully changed now, and if you see any mistake, kindly let me know. Thanks Justicejayant (talk) 10:00, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This request evidently refers to Peter Watts (road manager), given that's the only Peter Watts we have who's confirmed deceased, and who apparently was married to Puddie at some point.

Hi Puddie, Peter is one of the unsung heroes of Pink Floyd and he's immortalised in the back cover of Ummagumma, and we have an active project Wikipedia:WikiProject Pink Floyd that deals with articles related to this subject. Quickly looking at the article, there are a few possibly contentious things such as the cause of his death or the nature of his divorce. I have a copy of Nick Mason's autobiography which goes into Peter's role with the band in some detail which might be able to balance things out.

I saw someone pointing out that you were involved in an edit war. I am assuming good faith in you and hope you do not take part in any edit wars. Thanks Marcelrios (talk) 15:56, 14 October 2013 (UTC) I discovered that you made some recent changes on prankvsprank, making a few changes. I am still waiting to hear from the website about the reliability of the article so that there is no biased POV here. I suggest that you look into Wikipedia:Systemic bias before you continue with your edits on Wikipedia. Marcelrios (talk) 17:35, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

I was quite amazed to have seen someone use such abusive language. I even warned him about Wikipedia:Civility and he removed my warning from his page. I do not expect a Wikipedia editor to use such language. I would rather refrain from using any language that hurts other editors. I am new to editing on Wikipedia pages and I really am looking for someone to step in and handle such harsh behavior. Thanks Marcelrios (talk) 17:33, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ANI is the board to discuss user behaviour. However, you should ensure your own behaviour is also acceptable before filing a report, as it may also be scrutinised during the discussion. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:37, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Me nor any other editors used any abusive language against the editor. I only warned him not to partake in any edit wars. He could have used a soft tone using Wikipedia:Civility. A harsh tone is not acceptable in an academic community where most of them are highly intellectual. Marcelrios (talk) 17:43, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Just making sure you understand the procedures at ANI, that's all. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 17:47, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

---Sir ,RedPen has been involved in edit wars , even after several warnings from different editors/admins. The proof for the same can be obtained from the complaints on his talk page and from the comments of a fellow editor above. Redpen has been involved in disruptive editing, deleting useful pages, removing well referenced information and use of bad,abusive language (like the example shown above)when he fails to defend his point. Wikipedia is a collaborative environment. All the editors/admins should join hands together and work in order to contribute to this cause .Wikipedia is no not a personal property of any of us. No one can and no one should try to misbehave. Sir, in this respect, i demand strict actions against RedPenOfDoom . Please take some action because all warnings have failed to yield results. This matter is far beyond a scope of "Just Warning" !--(1.38.20.88 (talk) 20:50, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
