Talk:John Defterios

Untitled

There seems to be an overt attempt by user Yk Yk Yk to prevent anybody who attempts to make edits to their edits from making these edits. Some of his content is not supported by their sources. I have tried change this the article so that it equally represents each section of his history. I have not affiliation with the subject. I think it would be more of a neutral article if the bio was either lengthen to include addition content on the subject or limited and some of the non neutral content reduced or removed.~~Ga8thds~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ga8thds (talk • contribs) 03:06, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

If only your edits were reliably sourced, they will be accepted. But as I pointed out many times, you added poorly sourced information, and that is more unacceptable than having a reliably-sourced negative section seemingly carrying more weight (a claim which I disagree with). There is no intent to antagonize Mr Defterios here. We are here to add well-referenced information. You, on the other hand, operate a single-purpose account with the narrow cause of trying make Mr Defterios look better after the recent controversy. If nobody added the FBC scandal to this article, I'm sure you would have been happy to leave it out. Does that make you a neutral editor?

The only paragraph with negative information is concise, emphasizing key events to provide sufficient context, neutrally presented, and supported by multiple reliable sources.

Would you care to point out which of my additions are not sourced? —Yk Yk Yk  talk ~ contrib 03:34, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Regarding this source [1] from the Stern Stewart Institute, all of the information about FBC was excised after the scandal broke. Some of the information that was previously on the page (Access date: 2011-08-05) included:

1) World Business won a Grand Prix Award in Europe for best global business and financial program

2) FBC conducted global communication campaigns on behalf of governments, non-governmental organizations, etc

No. 2 was particularly damaging to Mr Defterios' defense and I'm sure as a PR man he moved quickly to have it removed and then sent you to play soccer here with the goalposts moved. —Yk Yk Yk  talk ~ contrib 03:44, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Edit request on 23 December 2011

"In August 2011, BBC and CNBC cancelled all FBC-produced shows on their programming after it was revealed that the company doubled as a public relations firm for the government of Malaysia, and carried puff pieces in the shows it produced."

The word "puff" was—contrary to the source quoted—censored by Ga8thds; the current sentence doesn't make sense. —Yk Yk Yk  talk ~ contrib 08:36, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
