User talk:Digital22759

Hi - This is being requested by Frank Sobrino, Media Relations Director at CUNY. Our office poses a conflict of interest to editing James B. Milliken's page.

CHALLENGED MATERIAL #1 “Upon accepting the appointment to the position of Chancellor of CUNY, Milliken's first controversial 'move' was into a luxury, penthouse apartment located on Manhattan's Upper East Side, with a monthly rent bill of $18,000," according to the New York Observer, paid for by the public university system.[12] Rudin Management reportedly leased Milliken's apartment to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York, a university affiliated nonprofit with the stated purpose of funding research and acquiring university facilities.[13] Milliken himself no stranger to the perks of higher education administration, according to a 2013 The Wall Street Journal report of his annual financial disclosure statements, showed he had received numerous "personal gifts from donors, alumni and business executives" while at the University of Nebraska, including a pheasant-hunting trip, four Elton John concert tickets, and flights via corporate jets.[14]”

OUR COMMENTS: ''We urge removal of this paragraph on grounds of fairness and context. It smacks of editorializing by someone with an axe to grind and distorts Milliken’s tenure. It leaves the false impression that Milliken has been controversial and been accused of financial impropriety from the moment of his arrival and has accomplished nothing in his four years.''

Specific points:

''1. The footnoted attribution for the first sentence does not back up the statement that Milliken's move into an $18,000 apartment was “controversial.” The first link is to an article about CUNY faculty protesting outside Milliken’s apartment because they had been working without a contract (for several years before his arrival). There is no mention of the cost of his apartment.''

''2. Though an article about the apartment is footnoted after a later sentence, there is no support  for the suggestion that the cost of Milliken’s apartment was improper. It's a mischaracterization to suggest it was or is regarded as unusually lavish or that it has been an issue during his tenure.''

''3. The information about perks at the University of Nebraska similarly has an editorializing tone and lacks context -- i.e. are/were these perks unusual, illegal or improper for presidents of major state universities? Further, gratuitously including this Nebraska information in the section about Milliken’s tenure at CUNY appears to be an attempt to advance the dubious claim that exploiting his public positions is a part of his record and reputation. There’s no support for that assertion. ''

 * Are you James Milliken? Or are you Frank Sobrino, Media Relations Director at CUNY? Or is this a shared account?  ~ GB fan 14:21, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

If you have an interest in editing Wikipedia beyond fixing the article in question, you can verify you are James Milliken by emailing the Foundation. --Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 15:46, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

BLP concerns
Please read Biographies of living persons/Help. It might help you through these concerns.

Biographies_of_living_persons may be useful.

As you seem to be the subject of the article with contentious content, [mailto:info-en-q@wikipedia.org This E-mail] may be a good alternative route as navigating all of Wikipedia's policies can be difficult. Especially if one has been blocked. Hope this helps. --Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 15:44, 22 March 2018 (UTC) -- thank you, we have contacted that email and the response has been to multiple policy pages which is why we're trying to go down these routes. much appreciated!

@Admins
Once the account owner confirms her abidance to the above-point(s), I think an unblock might be in order. &#x222F; WBG converse 09:36, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * There is another concern. Who has access to the account?  At one point the person who was posting stated that this was a shared account.  That also needs to be addressed prior to any unblock.  ~ GB fan 09:52, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Yep. &#x222F; WBG converse 10:07, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The OTRS ticket appears to confirm that this is a shared account and shouldn't be unblocked. She should create a new individual account and follow WP:COI.  ~ GB fan 10:14, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * We disagree as to the exact interpretation of her lines.Anyways, she need to clarify the aspect of the shared-usage.Or, a de-novo start might be preferred, rather than these hassles..... &#x222F; WBG converse 11:10, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The interpretation of the comments in the OTRS really doesn't make that much difference. The person accessing the account stated unequivocally that this was a shared account.  ~ GB fan 11:30, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * can you provide the OTRS ticket number? ~ GB fan 09:54, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Check user-page:) &#x222F; WBG converse 10:07, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I edit conflicted to say I found it there. ~ GB fan 10:08, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * re Once the account owner confirms her abidance to the above-point(s)-- of course. IMO, the block issues are shared user name and promo username and promo edits. Whoever winds up using this account will need to affirm they are sole user, rename, and abide by PAID. User name can be <<random alpha numerics or their name orotherwise>>< > cunydigital. That person needs to refrain from editing directly and should make suggested edits and make a WP:PAID disclosure.-- <b style="color:black">Dloh cier ekim </b> (talk) 11:34, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * PS "Maria Lee, City University of New York" should be fine. -- <b style="color:black">Dloh cier ekim </b>  (talk) 11:38, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
 * What exactly is this? < > Confirming ID as an unblock rationale would only be appropriate if this were a  famous username block. It has no bearing on a promotional user name hard block. You might want to remove or change that in some way. Cheers, -- <b style="color:black">Dloh cier ekim </b>  (talk) 12:01, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

 * I guess you are saying that your statement on my talk page: it's probably best to delete the user-page for now was a request to delete the userpage. I didn't realize you wanted it deleted.  ~ GB fan 13:02, 4 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I am here because pinged me above. My only involvement here has been a purely procedural decline of an unblock request pending clearing up the user name issue, and I have no objection whatever to unblocking. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:45, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

renamed "Cunydigital" to "Digital22759"

Hello, I'm MelbourneStar. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Felix V. Matos Rodriguez because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. —<b style="color:#E22">Mel</b><b style="color:#F20">bourne</b><b style="color:#F73">Star</b> ☆ <sup style="color:#407">talk 17:05, 15 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello Melbourne, Why would an announcement about of the chancellor's appointment be inappropriate encyclopedia material? The announcement about his tenure is a primary source document proving the claim. </b> Rodriguez entry has reverted back to an outdated entry and all edits have been lost. Was this intentional?
