Journalist?

Based on my search, Gary Weiss has not been a journalist for over two years. The "American Journalist" and "Investigative Reporter" cats should be removed. Looks like his blog is pretty dormant, too. I'll also recommend removing that cat.--Powder Blue Tuxedo 22:09, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Bad faith removal of cited, referenced text from article

Mantanmoreland, you deleted the following text from the article:

Libel suit

In 1996, Gary Weiss and Business Week magazine were named as co-defendents in a libel suit brought by Julian Robertson, founder of Tiger Management Corporation, over an article written by Weiss in Business Week that Mr. Robertson felt contained erroneous and malicious information about him. The suit was withdrawn by Robertson in January, 1997 after Business Week agreed to retract some of the statements it had made about Robertson in the article.

  1. Weiss, "FALL OF THE WIZARD," Business Week Archives, December 17, 1997,

That passage was the only cited, referenced text in the entire article. The reference was extremely valid, since it was the very magazine that Mr. Weiss was working for that confirms the facts. Before removing cited text, you're supposed to discuss it here on the discussion page first. In fact, since the rest of the article is uncited, the text you deleted should be the ONLY text that should currently be in the article, in addition to a small introductory paragraph. I'm going to re-add the text you deleted, and you can discuss it here on the discussion page why you think it shouldn't be included. I'll also add a warning on your user talk page about deleting cited text without discussion. I should go ahead and delete all of the uncited text in the article, but, I'll give some time if someone wants to go through and add some inline citations. How about a week?
