Talk:August Busch IV

Birth date

The following edit may or may not have been vandalism, but it is unsourced and I was certain the original year was correct: [1] TonyTheTiger 21:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Nicknames

Encyclopedias do not refer to people using their nicknames. Encyclopedias are written in a more formal style. It is aceptable to cite a nickname if it is commonly used, as "The Fourth" appears to be in this case, but it is not acceptable to use the nickname to refer to the person. The George W. Bush article, refers to its subject as "Bush" or "President Bush", and not as "Dubya". Ground Zero | t 20:41, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Criminal History

The reference to "numerous" arrests at the Lake of the Ozarks is unsourced, prejudicially constructed, and unworthy of Wikipedia's high purpose. It should only be restored with a reference and with a less inflammatory syntax. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WanderingWord (talk • contribs) 01:02, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Mentors

I deleted this as it is unreferenced and unencylopedic and smacks of self serving.

His father reached out to his corps of German and Austrian brewmasters to train and mentor him, including:

• Gerhardt A. Kraemer, Group Vice President for Global Brewing
• Gustav Chiba, Senior Vice-President in-charge of the Anheuser-Busch brewery in Fairfield, California
• Dr. Klaus D. Zastrow, Vice-President for Brewing Technical Services

Restructuring

I considerably changed the article. Given the new high profile, the article needed a good clean up to be put in a conventional biography format. There is also a lot of poorly or no referenced material which I tried to clean up.Americasroof (talk) 10:47, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

"International Brewing Institute in Berlin" wtf?

"He has a brewmaster’s degree from the International Brewing Institute in Berlin." Which course did he take there, and when? Has anyone seen this diploma anywhere?

There is no such institute in Berlin, Germany.

The only place to study brewing in Berlin (in cooperation with the Technical University) is the Versuchs- und Lehranstalt fuer Brauerei in Berlin (VLB) http://www.vlb-berlin.org/cms/front_content.php —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.158.204.113 (talk) 22:49, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

I am working on a VLB Berlin article. Americasroof (talk) 00:30, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Undue weight in Arrests section

There is far too much emphasis on his run-ins with the law as compared to the rest of the article. This feels like a hit peice.That man from Nantucket (talk) 02:31, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't know. It's such a big part of his notability. -- GreenC 11:58, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Note: I have attempted to engage this editor twice about their removing well sourced content. Once above, and once at Noticeboard. The editor does not respond but then continues to revert unilaterally. This is edit warring with the facsimile of having a discussion. -- GreenC 13:23, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
