Talk:Carol Rosenberg

Article naming
The article's name may need to be corrected so that the last name is capitalised.--76.214.144.81 (talk) 00:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. Geo Swan (talk) 14:35, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

question...
Howard Kurtz's article said: I am not comfortable with how close the current wording of the biography section is to Kurtz's initial wording. Geo Swan (talk) 14:47, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Great work.--76.214.144.81 (talk) 19:22, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

rough work
The Miami Herald has, in the past, expired many of its articles after leavign them online for just a month or so. I archive some of their stories using webcitation.org, and I am going to list some of those articles here.
 * Wikipedia is not a storehouse for expired articles, however, noteworthy. Please discuss some other solution with an administrator.Parkwells (talk) 16:27, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * , you didn't ping me, so I didn't see this note you left 7 years ago.
 * Talk pages, and userspace, are supposed to be used to support building articles. I think keeping these references helps support building articles, so I think this is a legitimate use of Talk:Carol Rosenberg.  I could list these in userspace - where they would be of less use to other contributors.
 * If this still triggers a concern for you, do you think you could explain why, more fully? Geo Swan (talk) 18:11, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I see more about your point now. Isn't there a way to use the archived copies in references in the article, rather than listing these separately on the Talk page? I agree that the Miami Herald articles are very important, and you've done terrific work in recognizing Rosenberg's work.Parkwells (talk) 23:52, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

Undue weight
Too many quotes, space, and cites are given to the sexual harassment complaint, especially as Rosenberg was cleared. 1) The report of the complaint does not need nine cites - one or two from RS are sufficient, as the additional sources are not used for any additional or different information/content. 2) The fact that Gordon kept talking about the complaint in 2009 and 2011 belongs in his article, not hers. Therefore, I deleted the last two paragraphs that referred to Gordon and his continuing chatter in 2009 and 2011 (or not, as in Cain's campaign) about the sexual harassment complaint. I have moved these to Gordon's article, as to me it seemed more appropriate for them to be there.Parkwells (talk) 02:46, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

(In the following sections, I addressed Geo Swan's comments one at a time, so copied his signature to indicate that he had written each section.Parkwells (talk) 02:53, 11 October 2013 (UTC))


 * 1) On the other hand there are critics of Rosenberg who continued to try to use the sexual harrassment allegations against her.  There are critics who try to confuse their readers and conflate the sexual harassment complain with the (also) bogus complaint that she and three Canadian journalist "outed" Joshua Claus as Omar Khadr's primary interrogater in Bagram, even though he had already published interviews where he had identified himself.Geo Swan (talk) 19:16, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The article did not include either of these points: not cites by critics other than Gordon bringing up the sexual harrassment allegation, nor critics who try to conflate that complaint with one saying she had "outed" Claus. An article by Gordon in which he discussed her temporarily being banned in relation to Claus was used as a source, but that aspect of it (Claus) was not referred to in the content; rather, it said she created conflict, or something like that. I moved that to his article, as anyone can see there. Parkwells (talk) 02:46, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) Gordon's allegations are clearly a confusing issue.  I don't agree that the explanation offered above is sufficient to justify the excision.Geo Swan (talk) 19:16, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, that's certainly your right as to your opinion. It seemed to me that including so much about Gordon's complaints, so that the sexual harassment portion was nearly equal or greater in length than the section on her entire career, seemed inappropriate.Parkwells (talk) 02:46, 11 October 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) You made 21 edits on 2013-01-05.  None of them has a "see talk" indicating it is the edit in question here.  Could you please (1) produce the diffs to the edit(s) in question here; (2) in future, could you use diffs, or edit summaries that say "see talk", or both, if you ever initiate discussions like this again?  Thanks  Geo Swan (talk) 19:16, 25 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry that I did not use "see talk" for the above discussion, and got sloppy about edit summaries. My first related to this section was: "Make factual - Sexual harassment complaint - delete excess on Gordon". That's why I thought it was useful to summarize the facts - it was investigated, some people supported her, his complaint as to sexual harrassment was not upheld.Parkwells (talk) 02:46, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Concern about coverage of controversy
Wikipedia should not devolve to the journalistic "he said, she said". The sexual harassment complaint is long over and should be summarized. Quotes related to it are not significant enough to be put into boxes. The fact that she was supported can be based on cited sources; quotes aren't needed. It's an encyclopedia. The article is missing more assessment and recognition of her achievements, some of which is hidden in quotes, hardly covered in the body of the article. Her work cannot be addressed by saying: this article discussed this, this article discussed that, which is drawing from the primary sources of her work. This is the difficulty of writing about a contemporary figure. Parkwells (talk) 16:27, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Header title
The header for the "Sexual harassment complaint" section had been "Attempt to discredit her work at Guantanamo". That may be what an editor thought Gordon was up to, but that slant was not in the cited sources and thus is an editor's POV.Parkwells (talk) 03:04, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Reasoning for deletion
An edit summary said that the following was removed because of "gratuitous derogatory comment." While I agree there was too much on the case, this does not appear to fit that description: <> Parkwells (talk) 20:19, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I had the same thoughts. Hobit (talk) 05:35, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
