[edit]

This is just a stub, a lot of info can be added (by me even) when I find good references. I'm afraid to just say to much without references. Should be in category American People, and probably made distinctly different than other Keith Robinson listings.Badlandz (talk) 21:11, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Numerous accounts on the web site a "1984 Nissan Pickup" driven by Keith Robionson. Yet, the Nissan Hard Body pickup didn't come out until 1986, replacing the Datsun 720 pickup.Badlandz (talk) 22:28, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Born 1942? Location, date? Badlandz (talk) 02:16, 19 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Several newspaper articles give age, and we can infer approximate birth date only. For example, http://archives.starbulletin.com/97/07/14/features/story2.html

Generally, it is best to have only information with reliable sources. I will work on this a bit I hope. W Nowicki (talk) 02:56, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

I think the very name of this page could be POV - describing him as an environmentalist. - 124.191.144.183 (talk) 09:14, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree but I'm not sure of a proper alternative. Keith Robinson (island owner)? Mopenstein (talk) 02:48, 5 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not just the title but the article as a whole seems to be biased in his favor. He might certainly call himself an environmentalist, but as the article briefly mentions (amid talk of how much he cares for the environment and how he has personally sacrificed financially for the sake of the environment and heritage), he has faced opposition from environmentalists. 1.132.97.80 (talk) 05:04, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lawsuit & Taxes

[edit]

Robinson expressed concerns about his family's ability to continue to maintain their ownership of Niʻihau, due to pressure from the federal and state governments and environmental groups. Environmental lawsuits have been launched against the family by groups such as Earthjustice while taxes on the island have taken much of the profits from the Robinsons' interests in agricultural companies.

The citation actually says the lawsuit was in regards to the family holdings on Kauai not Niihau so I have removed it. What taxes would they have on their own private island? Perhaps this again refers to his holdings on Kauai not Niihau? Citation needed on this or it should be removed as well. --Dejitarob (talk) 16:43, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

To answer your question - property ownership implies property taxes, depending on valuation. which can be increased by government. It's still part of the State of Hawaii! And no, I don't have a citation. Have you tried a Google or Google News search? Yworo (talk) 16:54, 15 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
