Sourcing ownership of Silverton[edit]

Certain Las Vegas newspapers charge a licensing fee for quotation and citation that are likely violations of Wikipedia policy, thus references to them are deliberately indirect. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.39.220.2 (talk) 18:56, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Biography - schooling[edit]

I found the Bloomberg profile and Forbes profile support the content but is this just someone copying them into Wikipedia or the publications cut and pasting this entry? Chicken and the egg scenario I guess.--FearsomeFoursome (talk) 19:49, 8 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No advertisement, No copy and Paste[edit]

Hi, I just have gone through this profile and the supported references. I didn't find anything just copy and paste to the Wikipedia. It is a very small biography and looks like neutral point of view has been followed. He is a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist. I feel let the wiki encyclopedia biography of Mr. Edward P. Roski. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uyarafath (talk • contribs) 17:05, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral view maintained[edit]

Hi James Allison, I had gone through this complete article and the supported independent sources. I don't find anyone who is having close connection with this subject. Even suppose the contributor is closely connecting with subject, I feel the neutral point of view is followed properly. No biased information about this person. If you feel that it contains biased content, kindly point out which part of article is biased. So, I too also look into that. Thank you.--Uyarafath (talk) 08:46, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have reviewed the article for neutrality and tone. I agree with @Uyarafath: that the article is fine. I have added a reference for the Marines. I am inviting @James Allison: to comment exactly what he thinks is against policy. Thank you. Flibirigit (talk) 11:37, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Review of article for conflict of interest[edit]

I have reviewed the article for neutrality and tone. All of the references appear to be valid and neutral regardless that a previous editor may have had a COI as per this discussion Again, I am asking @James Allison: to comment exactly what he thinks is a COI in this article right now. Thanks. Flibirigit (talk) 02:06, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The "Philanthropy" section is unduly emphasized and advertises for the article subject. The article is proven to be of interest by UPEs, and content was added by likely COI IP editors. There is barely an "biography" in the biography section, simply hagiography and a list of ownership interests. The article needs to be expanded with information about the subject's life and career. Out of curiousity, how did this article become of interest to you? James (^talk/_contribs) 04:41, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's also worth noting that the majority of references in the philanthropy section are to dead links, meaning that most of the content is not verified. Melcous (talk) 04:47, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great, thanks for the comments. Will get back to you by the end of the month with something much better. Flibirigit (talk) 06:55, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have rewritten the entire article from scratch, to avoid any COI, to remove any cut & paste, and to sound more encyclopedic. I audited all of the existing references, and completed proper citation templates for each. I added more references, properly cited as well, and discarded all dead link references. I included only what I could verify, so you will notice omissions such as the birthdate, the middle name, and political affiliation. I have not used any citations from his company web site, or his own foundations either. I have tried to balance the article, and not give undue weight to any section. If anyone wants to expand his business career, please go ahead, as it's not my expertise. I'm a hockey fan that tried my best with the article. Cheers!

Thanks for your work. How did this article come to your attention? James (^talk/_contribs) 19:45, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Melcous:, any questions or suggestions? Flibirigit (talk) 15:29, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work Flibirigit, and Jytdog has done some good tidying up. I've just done a copyedit and picked up a few grammar and spelling issues and made some other minor changes as per my edit summaries. It is looking much better. Some of the sources are of better quality than others, so it would perhaps be worth removing some of the more 'resume'-type sources where there are other sources for the same content, but that's a minor quibble. Cheers, Melcous (talk) 21:20, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Medal of Honor[edit]

The article on Ed Roski Junior has a statement "In October 2017, Roski was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.[11][12][13]". This is not correct.

In fact, he earned the Circle of Honor Award from the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation. That's very different. The citations 11, 12, and 13 bear this out.

Citation 11 is Nisperos, Neil (2017-10-11). "Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation Gives Highest Honor to Edward Roski Jr". Los Angeles Business Journal. Retrieved 2018-01-21; Citation 12 is "Wealthiest Angelenos: 11. EDWARD ROSKI JR". Los Angeles Business Journal. 2017-08-24. Retrieved 2018-01-21; and Citation 13 is "Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation Presents Highest Award to Los Angeles Businessman and Philanthropist Ed Roski". PR Newswire. 2017-10-11. Retrieved 2019-01-14

On 14th March 2019 you undid revision 887699131 by 2606:6000:C749:6500:9141:42F3:96CE:A23D (talk) revert as per cited sources undothank Tag: Undo.

Please reconsider as the the citation do bear out that Ed Roski Jnr did receive the Circle of Honor Award from the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation, not the Congressional Medal of Honor.

The above comments were placed on my talk page, and I have relocated them here. I am currently very busy in real life, and I have moved onto other projects. Please follow up as you will. Cheers. Flibirigit (talk) 04:50, 21 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
