Talk:Roberta Kaplan

Disclosure
I am an experienced Wikipedia editor but have a COI here as a paid editor working for Kaplan Hecker, the law firm of Roberta Kaplan. As per COI, I will propose edits here, except in cases of unsourced contentious material, such as personal attacks, as per WP: BLP.

Request Edit - New Photo
I would like to request that the photograph of the subject of this article in the infobox be switched. The new photo can be found at thumb|Portrait of Roberta "Robbie" Kaplan http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Robbie_Kaplan.jpg This photo is more recent. I have a conflict of interest as a paid representative of the subject of the article through my employer, The Levinson Group. I will not make direct edits to the article, as per WP: COI. Please let me know if I can help. George*965 (talk) 18:30, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Out of date article
There is a detailed article in WaPo today about Roberta Kaplan. The Wikipedia article should be updated to include more information about Kaplan's other high profile cases, as witness some RS coverage cited below:


 * 20190906 Amber Heard lawsuit (Variety article notes "Kaplan has also defended Melanie Kohler, who was sued for defamation after accusing producer Brett Ratner of rape, and Moira Donegan, the creator of the "shitty media men" list.") WaPo article talks about Heard and also says Kaplan's firm recently withdrew,
 * 20191104 E. Jean Carroll lawsuit.
 * 20200924 Mary L. Trump lawsuit, mentioned in the lead without having been explained in the body.

I have no COI about Roberta Kaplan, and never heard of her until I read about her this morning in WaPo. But if you look at my userpage, you will see that I care about getting better representation of notable women in Wikipedia. I am adding some citations I found concerning these cases in case other users want to improve the article. 19:28, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

She resigned from Time's Up (organization), not from the Me Too movement
There is already information in Career section, cited to five sources, about Kaplan's resignation from Times Up. The repeated attempt by to add a new sentence saying she "resigned from the MeToo movement due to accusations that she bullied victims" is inaccurate, POV, and unconstructive.

 * The third attempt by  to add similar text is similiarly inaccurate and unconstructive, and contrary to WP:NPOV and MOS:LEAD. Beccaynr (talk) 21:48, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

In what way it is incorrect? I provided a reference and everything. What else do you need?

Are any issues with accuracy present? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JFerrell007   (talk • contribs) 21:53, 10 August 2021 (UTC)


 * First of all, you should read Wikipedia articles before you edit them. Her resignation from Times Up is already in the article. Second, you should read Wikipedia talk page discussions before you add your own comments. As already explained, RK resigned from "Times Up" not "Me Too." Third, you are violating 3RR by continuing to insert unchanged an inaccurate POV-pushing sentence whose flaws have been explained on this talk page and which has been removed from the article by at least two other editors. HouseOfChange (talk) 22:03, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Okay, so I will edit it to include Times Up not Me Too. And in what way am I pushing a POV? It is 100% factual. Any other questions or concerns? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JFerrell007 (talk • contribs)

@beccayr, why were my changes undone. The information is already included in the article. Please let me know your line of reasoning so I can have a greater understanding of why my edits are being removed. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by JFerrell007 (talk • contribs)
 * x2 Your ongoing attempts to restore the disputed content, and disruption to the article  make it   challenging to provide a rapid reply about how none of the sources support the content, e.g. "resigned from #MeToo", and how your characterization of what the sources actually state about allegations is contrary to WP:NPOV, and the placement also appears to be contrary to MOS:LEAD, which states It is not a news-style lead or "lede" paragraph. Please do not continue adding the content that is disputed due to good-faith BLP objections until consensus is obtained about compliance with Wikipedia's content policies, per WP:BLPREQUESTRESTORE. Thank you, Beccaynr (talk) 22:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Okay, how can I start the process of obtaining of consensus on Wiki? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JFerrell007 (talk • contribs)
 * I think it would help to add a WP:SIGNATURE to your comments, and you can review the WP:CONS policy. Beccaynr (talk) 22:27, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
