Talk:Lynda Resnick/Archives/2023

Comments
Large chunks of this article read like marketing fluff. It needs to be completely re-written or chopped down to size. I think Ms. Resnick's PR person must have written this article. Jakerome (talk) 17:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I see some of the language you are talking about, I'll see what I can do to trim it up a bit. bjdehut (talk) 19:52 1 December 2009

Man, I am not very good at talk pages!

I think the most erroneous thing about the article was the summary at the beginning, I agree, it sounded quite PR like. Some of the other instances where the language was "very descriptive" I think were because they are direct quotes from the book. In instances where the description wasn't necessary I removed them, now I think it reads much more true to Wikipedia format. Take another look and let me know what you think!

The Resnicks are far and away some of the most corrupt people in California. They've marketed POM wonderful as preventing disease when there's no evidence it does. They've also tried to buy up agricultural water rights in order to shaft end customers. That should be put in here too. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.54.61.166 (talk) 01:13, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

NPOV Revision
The time finally came, and I've attempted a bunch of quality revisions to this article. Mainly, as an editor might notice from the rev. comments, I've been focusing on removing "fluff" that added little info/insight/etc about the article's topic (Lynda Resnick). I assure you I have no bias or even know much about this individual beyond what I've seen in this Wikipedia article and other articles linked to her companies.

I realize there's a possibility some editors might think I took stuff out that was unjustified. That's fine, give it an edit, I'm not taking ownership of this article or anything, and am happy to discuss here on talk as well. But I will be interested to see that the promotional crap stays out so be ready to talk here on discussion page if I have a question about a revert you made.

To summarize, There were a lot of "transitional" flow phrases, that might be great when in a biography, story, promotional bio, etc, to keep a reader mystified, but serve little purpose in an encyclopedia. So those were removed. There was also plenty of unneeded adjectives, along the lines of what used to be on FIJI and POM articles, such as constant emphasis of "fresh", etc, and the "sneaking" in special phrases designed by marketers but not for encyclopedians consumption. (I don't mean it was "snuk" in there in bad faith, just that's probably how the individuals ideas/products/etc are written in the scarcely available source material.

I'm sure alot of the text was taken strait from these sorts of bios and press releases, since there isn't much independent info about this individual. Which brings me a large unresolved concern. Her book. Yep.

TONS of this article, even after my fluff cleanup, refers to her book for important material that SHOULD be sourced by INDEPENDANT sources. I wonder what should be the next course of action? Should the book be removed as a source for most of the stuff except like, her family life and what it might contain.... and then add citation-needed tags everywhere? Should the material only supported by the book then be removed if a citation can't be found? I don't know about that, but I'm unclear at this point. A self-written biography is a horrible thing to have to rely nearly soley on for an article on a individual, a living person no less, for obvious reasons. Thanks for your (any interested editor's) help and any info/ help editing would be appreciated. --Retran (talk) 17:35, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Link to Lynda Resnick's husband, Stewart Resnick, just loops back to Lynda.
First the link that is highlighted for Stewart Resnick just loops back to Lynda Resnick. Second there is no Wikipedia page for Stewart Resnick. Doing searches for him just brings up her again or POM Wonderful. I don't have much ability with Wikipedia, so I don't know how to search for a missing wiki page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.101.30.43 (talk) 22:54, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

COI DISCLOSURE

My name is Mike Gutierrez and I recently joined The Wonderful Company's--co-owned by Lynda Resnick--communications staff. The main photo used by Wikipedia dates back to 2010. I am new to Wikipedia, but am hoping an editor can replace the old photo with this photo from 2017: Lynda Resnick 2017 on Flickr Commons LAKERS10 (talk) 01:35, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

COI DISCLOSURE

My name is Mike Gutierrez and I work for The Wonderful Company's--co-owned by Lynda Resnick--communications staff. Please change “Resnick is Vice Chairman of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Board of Trustees, as well as the Chair of the Acquisitions Committee and the Executive Committee.” To “Resnick is a Life Trustee and former Vice Chairman of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Board of Trustees, and previously served as the Chair of the Acquisitions Committee and the Executive Committee.” Source: http://www.lacma.org/overview. Also, please change “She is also a trustee of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.” To “She is also a Trustee Emeriti of the Philadelphia Museum of Art.” Source: http://www.philamuseum.org/information/43-323.html?page=2 LAKERS10 (talk) 21:07, 3 August 2017 (UTC)


 * I did the second part of the request. The first part is a problem, because the source doesn't say that. Kendall-K1 (talk) 23:12, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your prompt reply. If you click the source link to the first requested change, you will find that Lynda Resnick is no longer listed as a "trustee" but rather now a "life trustee". Are you now able to make this change? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LAKERS10 (talk • contribs) 22:00, 10 August 2017 (UTC)


 * The only mention I can find is her listing under "Life Trustee." Where does it say she is a "former Vice Chairman of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Board of Trustees, and previously served as the Chair of the Acquisitions Committee and the Executive Committee"? Kendall-K1 (talk) 22:27, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you Kendall. If you look under the “Vice Chairs” section on that page, you’ll find only three names. Lynda Resnick is no longer listed as a Vice Chair, making her, by default, a former Vice Chairman. I would also note that per the existing reference #25, you’ll find no reference to her being “Chair of the Acquisitions Committee and the Executive Committee,” so that is no longer a valid source for that statement and, if anything, should be removed, with the sentence reading “Resnick is a Life Trustee and former Vice Chairman of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s Board of Trustees.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by LAKERS10 (talk • contribs) 23:23, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

COI DISCLOSURE My name is Alisha Liyanage and I am a member of The Wonderful Company's--co-owned by Lynda Resnick--communications staff.

Lynda's age on her page (76-77) is incorrect. It should be 75 as reflected in the citation (Forbes profile) presently listed. Can you please make this correction? Alishaliyanage (talk) 21:47, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I adjusted it to show that she was 75 as of July 10, 2018; the age will adjust daily so it will say 75-76.Patapsco913 (talk) 22:06, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you provide a source giving her correct birth date? Kendall-K1 (talk) 23:34, 14 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Her actual birth date is January 2, 1943, although I am unable to point to a specific citation with that information. However, the following link confirms the year of her birth is 1943, not 1942 as presently included in the range listed on the page. https://books.google.com/books?id=nko8s9IKxCYC&pg=PA460&lpg=PA460&dq=when+was+lynda+resnick+born&source=bl&ots=kjsNKK6-Fm&sig=I4zlPKO1Hzx0pHa5Lmyq0jmpSCU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwixj936yvTcAhWnhlQKHZJEAFw4KBDoATAEegQIBhAB#v=onepage&q=when%20was%20lynda%20resnick%20born&f=false . Can you please update the first sentence on the page, which says she was born in 1941 or 1942, as well as the sidebar which says she was born in 1942 or 1943. Both should show she was born in 1943. Alishaliyanage (talk) 18:52, 17 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I meant to tag you both in my previous message. Mrs. Resnick's actual birth date is January 2, 1943, although I am unable to point to a specific citation with that information. However, the following link confirms the year of her birth is 1943, not 1942 as presently included in the range listed on the page. Source: https://books.google.com/books?id=nko8s9IKxCYC&pg=PA460&lpg=PA460&dq=when+was+lynda+resnick+born&source=bl&ots=kjsNKK6-Fm&sig=I4zlPKO1Hzx0pHa5Lmyq0jmpSCU&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwixj936yvTcAhWnhlQKHZJEAFw4KBDoATAEegQIBhAB#v=onepage&q=when%20was%20lynda%20resnick%20born&f=false . Can you please update the first sentence on the page, which says she was born in 1941 or 1942, as well as the sidebar which says she was born in 1942 or 1943. Both should show she was born in 1943. Alishaliyanage (talk) 00:37, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * You work for her and can't supply a source for her birth date? We now have two sources, one says she was 75 years old as of 10 July 2018, the other says she was born in 1943. I don't know of a template similar to template:birth based on age as of date that will incorporate both bits of information. If you find one, or have some other suggestion, let me know and I'll make the change. Meanwhile I will fix the opening sentence. Kendall-K1 (talk) 00:56, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for updating the opening sentence. Can you please also update the age reference to only 1943 in the sidebar beneath her photo on the right side of the page? We do have her birth certificate, but cannot publicly share. Even if you use the second source from Forbes which says she is 75 as of July 10, 2018, that can still only mean she was born in 1943 not 1942. Alishaliyanage (talk) 16:37, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
 * A birth certificate would not be an acceptable source anyway. Please re-read what I said above. If you want to suggest a further change, please give me the actual markup. But note that I am not willing to discard the Forbes source. Kendall-K1 (talk) 16:52, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The actual markup would be just removing the “1942-” from the sidebar beneath the photo on the right side of the page. It would read “1943 (age 74–75) ” . You can retain the Forbes source. The Forbes source notes that Mrs. Resnick is 75 years old as of July 10, 2018, which means she can only have been born in 1943, not 1942-1943. Alishaliyanage (talk) 20:46, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * "75 years old as of July 10, 2018" means she could have been born any day from July 9, 1942 to July 10, 1943. And there is no "1942-" in the markup; it reads "birth_date=1943 (age 75)" . Kendall-K1 (talk) 21:40, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Also now that I know Resnick's staff mislead us about the date on the photo, I'm reluctant to believe what you tell me about her birth date. Kendall-K1 (talk) 03:55, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

Infobox photo
The photo in the infobox was provided by Resnick's communications staff. They say it's Resnick in 2017, but the exif image data says it's from 2014. Also the exif says it's been photoshopped, and if you look at the original (large) version, you can tell the face has been quite heavily modified. So I suspect this image doesn't really look much like her. Should we still be using it? Kendall-K1 (talk) 02:23, 24 August 2018 (UTC)

So the photo can't possibly be from 2017. It was published in Forbes in 2015: Kendall-K1 (talk) 03:53, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
