[edit] Hepatitis_G

Hi there, I have removed the accuracy disputed line from Hepatitis_G. I noticed you put it in, then took it out, then added it back in with a comment that didn't match your edit, so I'm guessing there was a mistake or browser bug somewhere along the line. If you know more about this subject than me and think there should be an accuracy line in there, please discuss here: Talk:Hepatitis_G.

[edit] Joe Lieberman

Hi, Smedley. I just wanted to drop a note regarding your comments at Talk:Joe Lieberman. Because an election is a week away, I have on my watchlist Ned Lamont, Lieberman, and Connecticut United States Senate election, 2006. I have particularly been watching all 3 article for violations of biographies of living persons. In the time I've been watching all 3 articles, I have seen consistent, ongoing, and blatant vandalism to Lieberman, sometimes by the same editors who are entering favorable commentary into Lamont. Lieberman has been hit with so much vandalism that it has been hard for editors to get any productive work done there. I have aggressively removed unsourced statements, and added fact tags, which has probably resulted in other editors searching for sources and sticking closely to the text from those sources; hence, your comment that some of it seems a copy of his website. In the time I've been observing the articles, I've seen nothing to evidence the claims you made on the talk page. I am not able to address the POV issues you raised, as I know little of Lieberman's voting record, but I did want to remind you that talk page entries must conform to WP:BLP, and damaging innuendo and allegation should be aggressively removed from talk pages and articles. I have removed, per WP:BLP, one sentence from your post to the talk page, as it was an unfounded and damaging allegation, in violation of BLP, that clearly could have been harmful during an election. I hope other editors there will address your POV concerns, as I'm not aware of Lieberman's positions on those issues. Regards, Sandy 13:51, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
