Merge
I've merged Luke Skurman and Christina Koshzow here as they did not appear sufficiently notable independent of this subject.  Claret Ash  11:47, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Content Removal
I removed excessive discussion of "Facebookgate" reference in favor of a more succinct explanation. Based on the citations, this event took place 5 years ago. It consumed over 25% of the article, though it has not been referenced in the public since that time. Additionally, with the company rebranding and changing its business focus, this content doesn't seem nearly as relevant. To remain unbiased, I didn't remove the entirety of its mention, as the existence is still relevant, just not the level of detail previously included. — April 25, 2014 10:18 AM (UTC)

EW, I can't say that I find any of those rationales compelling from an objective point of view. In deference to your alleged stylistic concerns, I have trimmed the prior text somewhat, but your proposed version deletes too much factual content - and seems only to benefit the image of the company. You are also incorrect to state that it has not been referenced since that time, as the existing references in the article already showed it being referred to in 2010 and a quick googling will show additional and later mentions - for better or worse, College Prowler's actions coined the term "Facebookgate" and that has stuck for any similar abuse of the site. I have added some additional references also.

I see that your edits reflect a local Pittsburgh focus. Do you have any connection to the subject that you would like to disclose? Shorn again (talk) 01:43, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Shorn, sorry I didn't see your note until now. I understand your concerns, though I do disagree with your assessment about the importance of the term. Your determination that I am from Pittsburgh is accurate, and I certainly do take an interest, and a little pride perhaps, in the local tech, education, and political scenes. That being said, I do my best to remain unbiased in my edits and firmly believe I have remained as such. — September 22, 2014 5:47 AM (UTC)

So. Can they fix numbers to make a city seem better? Taking away one star reviews is fraud. No?
Leave our clean one star reviews alone. Stop fixing the numbers. 66.85.230.138 (talk) 13:58, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
