Talk:David Bernstein (executive)

Unclear
I can't make head or tail of the following:

''Bernstein departed Manchester City and was succeeded as chairman by John Wardle. The exact reason for his departure was believed to be down to "excessive spending", something Bernstein warned Manchester City to be wary of after Peter Swales financial gambles he often took to give City impetus to challenge for trophies.'' —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.216.31 (talk) 19:36, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Jewish
I am at a loss as to why a reference to his religion is 'unnecessary'. If there is a category for English Jews then a reference supporting this is valid?--Egghead06 (talk) 08:55, 23 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Egghead06, it seems that you're confused as to what is basic and important and what must contain a link to a reference on a Wikipage. You're right, David Bernstein is Jewish and your description is indeed, accurate. He is also correctly listed in the "English Jews" category. However, it is hardly the most significant fact about the guy, and therefore should NOT be in his primary description (i.e., the opening line). You'd be wise to compare the treatment of (I dare say) all the other individuals in the category of "English Jews". I don't think you'll find another instance where a person's religion is noted as the first fact – essentially defining the person. You're also right in that there is no harm in adding a reference to the link which substantiates your claim, though this is also absent in numerous entries under the category under discussion, but again, this should be further into the article, perhaps in a description of the subject's early life or personal life. So I'm using my prerogative to take out your insertion, and leave it to you to edit the article by inserting it (with your link) in a more suitable place lower down the page.Barmispain (talk) 10:43, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Moved further down the page which is better than previously when the info was either unreferenced or just deleted as unnecessary.--Egghead06 (talk) 13:38, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
