OK.

[edit] NPOV tag

an anon added an NPOV tag. I've rolled it back as I see no assertion of NPOV or support for that tagging on this talk page. If there is a need for the tag please outline some of the issues you see with the article here on this talk. Thanks. ++Lar: t/c 19:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Regarding my revert on 04:35, 27 November 2006: Anonymous user inappropriately changed much of the information to past tense. Prop2 does not even take effect until December 22 '06 and faces court challenges, and even after it does take effect some of the things changed to past tense should actually remain in the present tense (example: "seeks to end" being changed to "ended"; when changed to past tense this actually changes the entire meaning of the statement, not just the tense). Some of the changes to past tense may have been proper, and I will reinstate any changes that were appropriate ASAP (or perhaps someone else will help with this). With regard to the election results taken from MichiganProposal2.org, the source for this information should be changed to the official numbers from the Michigan Secretary of State, although the numbers appear to match. The link to this site at the bottom of the page should not have been deleted, however, and I see no evidence of this being a copycat site. Rather, it appears to contain much original language and philosophy with regard to affirmative action and the impact of Proposal 2. The fact that the website owner(s)/author(s) chose to register the domain name privately does not mean the link to the site should be deleted from a simple list. I firmly believe it is/was one of the most popular sources of information on the proposal leading up to election day, and I was the one who added the link to it. Every time I ran a search for anything related to the proposal on Google or Yahoo up until election day, it placed at the top of the search results as a paid, sponsored link.

I added that "supporters of the MCRI" had committed fraud, since otherwise the article reads like the ballot initiative itself had done this. - Bongadorus, 11 December 2006
