Talk:Ramón C. Cortines

Untitled
"Cortines claimed that he denied Oliver due to possible disruption to students and reality television's need to create drama for ratings.citation needed" - Cortines himself actually says this on camera during the show. I don't know where you would find a citation for this unless you want to link to the episode on Hulu online, but that will expire eventually. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.2.111.152 (talk) 16:06, 18 June 2011 (UTC)


 * As I understand Wikipedia policies, quoting the show directly is a primary source. The problem with such sources is, anyone can make a self-serving claim; how do we know what to regard serious and to treat as credible? So, to be properly sourced, there would need to be some sort of qualified source (i.e. one having both authorship and editorial review that are independant of the primary source... WP:RS) that took Cortines's claim seriously enough to quote him in that regard in their coverage of the controversy. This basically is how Wikipedia weeds out the fluff and self-promotional claims (of which there are many) from ones that have some legitimate gravitas. Anyway, that's my take... hope it helps! --Rnickel (talk) 00:57, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution
Cortines has had a very long career and the brief intersection with Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution seems entirely POV and overblown. Insomesia (talk) 00:50, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

No info on his tenure in NYC?
This omission alone makes this wikipedia article worthless. His role vis a vis the history of Rudy Giuliani is remarkable and important. But it's nowhere to be seen here. Jatkins679 (talk) 19:51, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
