More articles about R Family
There is a bunch of articles here that I haven't yet gone through but they should also be balanced with articles that the company doesn't link to, if any, that might not give as glowing coverage. Benjiboi 09:32, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Faith based section
I tried to copy edit that section. There was a dead link, ect. Can this be looked at since the reason for the cancellation of the Bermuda stop isn't spelled out. I will try to fix that later. Thank you. --72.209.8.205 (talk) 14:08, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually you deleted content and a reference that wasn't a "dead link", even if it were we use the wayback machine not deletions for such instances. I've restored the original content, reference and added the second reference you had used to replace the first. Benji boi 00:24, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you please fix the references, they still are not right. Also, can we leave the section title as is until I can read the sources more closely> Thank you. --70.109.223.188 (talk) 14:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * References have been fixed and no, we don't censor pending a review. If you feel the sources don't support content then we can see what the sources state - in this case faith-based homophobia seems quite clear. Benji boi 19:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Is there a source that refers to it that way? Thanks, --70.109.223.188 (talk) 14:30, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I also copy edited the see also section by removing a category link and just having the article names as is. --70.109.223.188 (talk) 14:27, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, and I've reverted those edits as well. We write for our reader's benefit to help them find related article's of interest and including a category in the See also's is fine. Benji boi 19:35, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

R Family Vacations
Originally posted at User talk:THD3

User:THD3 recently changed a section in the article R Family Vacations from "In 2007, Kaminsky attempted to blackmail Bermuda — which he erroneously believed had a tourism-based economy — into suspending its freedom of speech[9]..."

to "In 2007, Kaminsky threatened to boycott Bermuda[9]..."

THD3 provided the following justifications:

1) "That's not [blackmail] it's a threatened boycott."

2) "Tourism is Bermuda's 2nd largest industry, so Kaminsky wasn't entirely off the mark."

I have reverted these edits, as the justifications were insufficient:

1) Blackmail, which was wikilinked in the article, is threatening to reveal substantially true information about a person to the public...unless a demand made upon the victim is met. Per the source, Kaminsky declared that if there was "even one picketer" (unless a demand was met...) that "everyone in America will know why" the cruise was cancelled (...a threat to reveal substantially true information).  The gist of his statement was "I will destroy your country if you let anyone complain".

2) Again per the source, Kaminsky stated that "Bermuda's main industry is tourism...". Over 60% of the economy of Bermuda stems from international business (reinsurance and captive insurance, for example);  Even if tourism makes up the entirety of the rest, it is still less than half of the next largest industry.  That is very much "off the mark", I'm afraid.

 * Persons can be blackmailed, not countries. In any case, your edit has already been reverted by someone else.THD3 (talk) 23:53, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

 * "Persons can be blackmailed, not countries." This is untrue. Nor have you addressed my other concern, so I will wait until tomorrow evening before again reverting the edit.
