For the record, I agree with the removal of the "analysts opinions" and the vast linkfarm in the "Related Articles" section. The analysts' quotes are so long that they'd likely raise copyright issues and should be removed for that reason alone; besides, Wikipedia should summarize what third-party sources say, not just repeat two of them wholesale - not that those sections did cite the actual sources. Regarding the links, some of those related articles may well serve as sources for this article, but then we should summarize their content, not just add a link without context. If someone wants to try his hand at summarizing them, they can be found here. Many of the sources I checked mention handler only in passing, though, often in "... said Handler, CEO" style.

The article needs to be savagely pruned and rebuilt - it reads as a very peacock-ish news release. I'm sure there is a very good article about this clearly notable subject just waiting to be written. This, currently, isn't it. Keri (talk) 22:36, 26 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
You're right. I'm trying to clean up this mess right now. Qworty (talk) 10:29, 29 April 2013 (UTC)Reply


This article has been in serious need of improvements for a long time. I have been contacted by Jefferies to clean it up. I have created a concise biography with good citation. I am open to any and all feedback. I'm going to remove what is there later today, since there isn't much to work with, and replace it with the new material I've put together. I am not going to remove the disclaimers (autobiographical, reads like a resume, needs citations, etc). I'd prefer it if someone more entrenched in the wiki community would take a look at my work and make sure it complies with general wikipedia standards and remove the disclaimers themselves. Again, open to all feedback. Miseauxnormes (talk) 18:10, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Just published the changes. It may be a little light, but it's well sourced and neutral. Looking for feedback, and hopefully for an administrator to remove the disclaimers sometime soon. Miseauxnormes (talk) 19:18, 30 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
I removed the 'multiple issues' labels for the moment. I believe all of the issues have been addressed by my recent changes to the article. I am open to feedback on this. Miseauxnormes (talk) 16:18, 5 May 2014 (UTC)Reply
