Talk:Ed Butowsky

Previous deletion 2008, 2009, 2012. This kind of editing needs to cease.--Wikipietime (talk) 19:19, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Looks like recurring G11's too. Great, shouldn't have created another one. Geogene (talk) 19:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

We should take it to Afd, set a concrete precedent and stop it from coming back.--SamHolt6 (talk) 19:24, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

If "this kind of editing needs to cease", then why did you create the article? TheValeyard (talk) 00:40, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Catered to sports clientele and DELETED link to Sports Illustrated article

Added a sports illustrated source that details sport client(s) but has been removed. Somewhere in the article, expanded sport clientele should be emphasized in accordance with what is reflected in various sources. Is Sports Illustrated not an appropriate source? Please do not delete my talk page items that are placed for discussion about improving the article. The page history shows the deleted link which I certainly think contains some relevant factual information.

The article contains direct quotes of Butowsky, such as;

"At the front of the room Ed Butowsky also does a bobblehead nod. Stout, besuited and silver-haired, Butowsky, 47, is a managing partner at Chapwood and a former senior vice president at Morgan Stanley. His bailiwick as a money manager has long been billionaires, hundred-millionaires and CEOs--a club that, the Steinbrenners' pen be damned, still doesn't include many athletes. But one afternoon six years ago Butowsky was chatting with Tubbs, his neighbor in the Dallas suburb of Plano, and the onetime Pro Bowl player casually described how money spills through athletes' fingers. Tubbs explained how and when they begin earning income (often in school, through illicit payments from agents); how their pro salaries are invested (blindly); and when the millions evaporate(before they know it).

"The details were mind-boggling," recalls Butowsky, who would later hire Tubbs to work in business development at Chapwood. "I couldn't believe what I was hearing." "

....

"In 2005 Butowsky began inviting sports figures--some well off, some not--to what he calls his financial "boot camps," elementary sessions that go from defining a bond to explaining a diversified portfolio as the equivalent of a balanced meal. There is no charge for the sessions or pressure to sign up with Chapwood,according to Butowsky, who calls this service his "mitzvah to sports."The financial adviser, who helps counsel Thunder forward Kevin Durant pro bono,hopes merely that the sessions will reflect well upon Chapwood. Such goodwill is easy to earn: The bar for radically improving the financial habits of pro athletes, Butowsky acknowledges, is low enough for a toddler to trip over."

Answering the earlier comment, Deleting an article is the most extreme form of editing; whereas, I created the article and made mention of the previous creations that were deleted. So, I would like further clarification as to the meaning of this;

"Looks like recurring G11's too. Great, shouldn't have created another one. Geogene (talk) 19:22, 1 August 2017 (UTC)"

I refuse to think that it is a sublime veiled threat. The G11's were referring to the previous deletes, right?

To further illustrate the need for expansion of sports clientele;

"The people running the STAR MBA are good salesmen with a good sales pitch, but so far the NFL isn’t buying it. A Wharton professor who teaches one of the league’s sanctioned business seminars dismissed the GWU degree as "MBA light." Ed Butowsky, a managing partner at the Dallas firm that conducted the athlete-bankruptcy report, manages the money of a hundred professional athletes, insisting that these twenty- and thirtysomethings uncharacteristically forgo the flash and behave financially as if they are 60-year-old pre-retirees about to be on a fid income for the rest of their long lives. Of STAR’s pro-business strategy, Butowsky says, "It’s like allowing drug dealers to treat recovering addicts. You’re giving these guys the drugs."

Advertising/COI

Unsurprisingly, given this article's history of repeating G11 deletions, there has just been an obvious COI/advertising rewrite, as shown in this revision [1]. I've reverted and warned the offending user, User:Edbutowsky, but this article will need watchlisting for as long as it exists. Geogene (talk) 08:10, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

See COI Notice added by another user in July 2022, indicating that 'Red Flag Reputation' management company, involving Mike Magolnick, has interests in this article. Nick Moyes (talk) 16:50, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

Request for Edits

I am trying to update my biography but am being denied. If the authors or contributors do not see fit to add current and relevant information please tell me why its this is here? I made edits to MY biography last night and it was reverted. I trust you will see fit to return it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Edbutowsky (talk • contribs)

Your edits were not in accordance with project policy. This isn't your blog where you get to heap glowing pithy praise upon yourself, e.g. "internationally recognized", "takes pride", etc... TheValeyard (talk) 16:43, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
