[edit] AlterNet article

John Gorenfeld, cited in the Wikipedia entry, wrote a lengthy article on Sembler and STRAIGHT in November 2005, available at http://www.alternet.org/story/27725/?comments=view&cID=54385&pID=54310 . The material in this story needs to be incorporated into the article. A few other notes: the material about Sembler's shopping malls being "creative" and "environmentally friendly" needs to be cited, and Sembler's new position as Joseph Lieberman's political advisor needs to be included. Also, this article is too lengthy to be a stub. 68.221.254.108 22:27, 23 September 2006 (UTC)Black Max, 9-22-06

[edit] Link

I think the information presented about the former ambassador on    http://www.melsembler.com should be available to those wanting to learn about him.  I'm not sure why this link was taken down.


The allegations against Mel Sembler are extremely serious and have been testified to in Congressional hearings and on television and radio by dozens of victims. They are well-sourced. Warfreak, you are kindly requested not to revert again without giving a reason!

[edit] Clean Up

Ok, I've gone through and cleaned up the page. Stuff done includes:

  • Fixed references and cleaned up doubling in external links
  • Removed the long list of allegations, this has been concisely summarised and readers are able to follow the links to view all of them
  • Fixed up doubling of information in careers and shortened introduction, shuffled sections to make easier reading
  • Removed POV, including unsourced allegations that he was appointed to diplomatic corps just because he was a fund raiser and subjective qualifiers.

[edit] Sembler Company

The Sembler company has been removing seemingly reliable sourced information. I've asked them to bring up any problems on this talk page. I will be going over the article in the distant future to check the sources and make sure they're valid, but if another editor can do it before me and post here that would be great Guycalledryan 07:09, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

User:208.69.24.229 has been removing the same information. I've left a message on their talk page asking them to raise any problems here. Trugster | Talk 19:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
