Talk:Frank Patti

I have added FACTUAL and VERIFIABLE information several times regarding this entry on Pensapedia only to have it deleted every time. There is no opinion or personal point of view involved. Nonetheless, I have now received notification that my entry does not conform to your guidelines. I believe it does.

Your notification states that you cannot accept "unsourced negative statements." Let me make myself known. My name is Morgan Christopher and I worked for the Joe Patti Seafood Company. Thus it is no longer "unsourced" information. As for whether it is "negative," is it your position that you will only present "positive" facts? What are those, exactly? Is that the purpose of an encyclopedia, either traditional or online? Facts are facts, especially if they are beyond question. Besides, do you assert that this individual's tax-evading criminal record is "positive" news? Would an entry on Adolph Hitler mention merely that he was an art student in college and nothing more?

Additionally, on Pensapedia's own "about" page you say the following: "It is important to realize that in contributing to Pensapedia, users are expected to be civil and neutral, respecting all points of view, and only add verifiable and factual information rather than personal views and opinions." Kindly point out where I diverge from these guidelines. I was civil, neutral (presenting only the verifiable facts), and leaving out my own opinion.

The sort of thing that I intentionally left out of my entry was that Frank Patti would use the N-word behind closed doors to his management staff to refer to the demographic that he did not want to see hired in his establishment. But then that would be my word against his, wouldn't it? But the percentage of African-Americans he employs is not a matter of anyone's word.

If you are going to censor information then perhaps you could make that clear on your home page. Otherwise it would be appropriate to restore the information as I had written it. Don't you think? —Preceding unsigned comment added by RMC (talk • contribs)

I agree that your edits to this page were done in a civil manner, but you presented information selectively with the intent to malign, which is not neutral. Because it was posted on Mr Patti's article, instead of the business itself, it is also in violation of our Biographies of living persons policy. If you could get a reputable media outlet to publish your grievance, the criticism could be included in the Joe Patti's business article. — admin • talk  22:08, 12 April 2011 (CDT)
