In my opinion, NEEDS MAJOR EDITS
I have serious problems with this article. Many of the claims are not sourced. It honestly sounds like this article is written by Ms. Diamond herself. I am not a Wikipedia aficionado so I am not going to try to change much. I would like to see some evidence that her books are best sellers or that she raised as much money as she claimed. As a minor television personality and as an owner of what seems to be a financially unstable magazine (see Forbes magazine article), I question whether she deserves such an extensive entry. Furthermore I worry that Ms. Diamond has had an opportunity to inflate and exaggerate her accomplishments through two bios in which she seems to have exerted a major influence—maybe I am being paranoid. But my point is that if these claims are true, more sources are necessary to establish them. The two biography's I'm speaking of are this one and her Huffington Post biography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.164.152.227 ( talk) 06:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
This is some serious self-gloating with poor (inaccurate but mostly missing) sources. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.131.252.41 ( talk) 04:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
This article, among other things, insinuates that Wendy Diamond's contributions alone have reduced the number of euthanized animals. This seems highly unlikely, as her magazine is essentially Vanity Fair for dogs, and her claims that this was due to her and that this statistic is true is uncited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.144.203.51 ( talk) 16:14, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Some info about this is here. Personally, I think the info is appropriate for Wikipedia (considering how fast and loose we are with other matters of even less importance and verifiability), but should not be contained in a "Criticism" section. Rather, I would suggest "Dispute over dominance training for dogs" or something like that. Whatever the outcome, User:Jimbo Wales was wrong to have edit warred over something that was clearly not "staged". What an awful excuse for suppression of verifiable knowledge about a subject. -- Wandering Parsnip ( talk) 16:49, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
(outdent) I would be carefull using the "other crap exists" arguement since this project is not perfect...YET! (no offense intended Jimbo). I removed some unsourced material about this "event". Based on the current size/state of this bio, I would leave this "incident" out as undue weight. If the article reaches the detail of say, Sarah Palin, then it might make more sense if this was some truely "big deal" and widely covered. Anyways, -- Tom (talk) 10:37, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
