Regarding your edits to Bill Janklow, it is normal to explain when removing large amounts of information. I reverted some of that, and invite you to discuss on the article talk page if you think an entire paragraph should be deleted before doing so. Regards. Jonathunder 19:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] My changes are accurate and foot-noted.

My changes are accurate and footnoted and I removed the quotations and extraneous material that have no business in an encyclopedia article.

[edit] WHAT IS WRONG HERE?

Why do you keep inserting those materials that have nothing to do with the case in the Bill Janklow article? Public statements are not admissible into evidence, and a federal tort claims action has nothing to do with a criminal conviction. You must have written this originally is all I can figure. If so, please take off the NPOV badge when you compare that language to my neutral, dispassionate prose. The returned language is certainly is NOT encyclopedia material.

Negative facts about the man may be as relevant to the article as favorable facts. It is certainly is a fact that Bill Janklow was convicted numerous times of speeding and other driving violations and that he even boasted he ignored speed limits and that these became more notable facts when his driving killed a man. That this was not admitted as evidence in court does not mean it must be left out of the article: Wikipedia is not a case, it is an encyclopedia.
Your edits seem to have the effect of whitewashing away many unpleasant things about this figure. I didn't put those in, originally, but I do object to an attempt to take all negative facts out. Jonathunder 22:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] I call for review

I am sorry but I have had illnesses in my family and have been out of commission. I call for a review on this dispute. Your political statements have nothing to do with the case, and only legal evidence admitted in court should be in that part of the article. If you want to make a secion about "criticisms of Janklow" or such go ahead. That is appropriate in the article but not muddied up in the court case. Mixing political charges in the court case is purely wrong. My revision is factual and footnoted.

I shall reinstate my revision, after a few days if I hear nothing further.
