Winston george tannis[edit]

You people are clearly not responsible or competent in making proper reviews and commenting upon them, publicly and even internally. Mr. Tannis is a distinguished juridical scientist and certainly not a hoax. Even a basic internet search would have revealed this (see Power Books, e.g., or the participant authors of the Queen's Annual Business Law Symposium [at Queen's University site] - including SEC and OSC Heads and members of the 'Seven Sisters' of the Toronto Financial-Legal Community noted on your site already [for example - Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg, of which he is an alumni). Someone should sue you for defamation for making such reckless statements. Tragically, these public comments make Wikipedia appear like a hoax - that is, you are not apparently responsible or competent to make encyclopedic findings (that is what appears when you make such perverse statements). If you wished for additional data to support the patently accurate submission, you should have merely stated that. You should remove this discussion from the net before you get sued and degraded and downgraded as an encyclopedic institution, receiving funds as a non-profit institution. I truly hope this is a very rare instance of foolish, reckless,immature, irresponsible public utterances as connected to serious scholastic work.

Unverifiable, possibly hoax, biography of a living person. Online sources list many "live spaces" pages, and searching for the subject along with names of awards and organizations listed in the article produced no reliable sources. Samuel Tan 05:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; I found some other related nonsense and removed it. It looks to have been added by DoctorFacebook. The information in this article appears to be a hoax. --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 12:32, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
