Should we have "farmer", "farm owner" or suchlike in the lead?
edit- Copied from User talk:Edwardx to allow for a wider discussion.
i think your fastidious adherence to describing that man as only a "businessman" has orwellian undertones to it. i am not trying to remove businessman but add another label that i have demonstrated through both sources and by definition is true. Wikipedia has a common sense policy too, remember. I'd really like to know why i am wrong if in fact i am. if we can get some third party input too that would be great! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:387:8:11:0:0:0:C0 (talk) 20:35, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you. I have added a heading to your comment, so that people will know that this is about Stewart Resnick. Otherwise, there would be little or no prospect of third party input. I would suggest that you read Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section before reinserting "farmer", "farm owner" or suchlike. Resnick owned a janitorial services company, and then the Franklin Mint, before he was involved in agricultural produce. And his expertise is in branding and marketing, not farming. Having "farmer", "farm owner" or suchlike in the lead is quite misleading. In any event, there is no mention of anything of the sort in the body of the article.
- Before you posted on my talkpage, your edit summary included "not trying to start an edit war". By adding "farm owner" to the lead, that is precisely what you are doing. I will be removing "farm owner" from the article lead, and will copy this thread to Talk:Stewart Resnick, where it would be better to continue, if you hope for some "third party input".

- How is identifying who is the wealthiest farmer in the US "trivial"? CommonSenseScholar (talk) 02:08, 19 December 2019 (UTC) Full disclosure so I don't get accused of sockpuppeting: the prior person putting this in here was me. This time the source was NPR, and quite blatantly it said in the headline that he is the richest farmer in the US. This is cut-and-dry, basic Wikipedia. That fact belongs here. I live in California, and this is of interest to people who live here. The state is in perpetual drought, and this guy is making a lot of money using a lot of water in california. The least we could do is properly identify his source of wealth. I guarantee his source of wealth is not his "marketing" or "branding" value. You are refusing to let someone add a salient fact to Wikipedia. This guy uses as much water as the city of Los Angeles and California is in drought.It is NOTABLE!CommonSenseScholar (talk) 02:17, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
By the way, you said " In any event, there is no mention of anything of the sort in the body of the article."
If you do a ctrl + find, you will find (not including my edit) five mentions of "farm" in this page. So your statement was not true. Also, on the "wikipedia edit war" page, seeking third party input is one avenue that is recommended. Your mocking quotes were unnecessary. If you don't pay high California water bills while the state is telling you how many times you are allowed to flush your toilet, maybe you should show some humility on the topic.CommonSenseScholar (talk) 02:32, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
PomWonderful’s Gulf War Profiteering.
editThe pomegranate juice craze started just when the War began under George W. Bush. This is no coincidence. Pomegranates were originally sourced from North Africa, Algeria in particular. A country whose pomegranates were originally marketed to Iraqis. Pomegranate syrup became unattainable, let alone unaffordable. But, due to the brutal, messy unnecessary war, pomegranate stew became unaffordable even to those who had to eat their own rabbits that had to grow up the closet.
This is a very light treatment of a very serious subject, and the current puff piece needs revisiting the interests of right-wingers who above all else oppose the war in Iraq. Beñamin01 (talk) 11:16, 19 September 2020 (UTC)
Wedding Date Correction
editHello. I work at The Wonderful Company, and I am hoping an editor would be willing to correct the wedding date of Stewart and Lynda Resnick-they were married in 1972, as is correctly noted on Lynda Resnick’s page. However, on Stewart Resnick’s page the year is listed incorrectly as 1973 in the personal life section. I've studied Wikipedia's guidelines regarding COI editing and believe my disclosures have been posted appropriately. Appreciate any assistance that can be provided in making this correction.
