commented on Chris Floyd. I am going to get Chris to help me out with this... to try and format it properly along the lines of other journalists listed.

I wrote the bio that this is based on at www.chris-floyd.com so there is no copyright violation here. Please do not delete for copyright violation.

Thanks.

I have rewritten this from the bio at Chris Floyd's website to present the data more like what is available for other journalists such as Alexander Cockburn

Caribmon 06:20, 26 September 2005 (UTC) commented on Chris Floyd. I wiped the earlier version of this entry because there were far too many problems with the title and content. When I arrived to the new version it had been deleted already... for reasons of copyright violation which is impossible as I am the writer/webmaster of the bio at [Chris Floyd Online] upon which this entry is based.

This is not a 'vanity' post by some 'fan' as one Wikipedian coined it in another edit - I genuinely feel Chris Floyd merits an entry here for a number of reasons including his continuing work with the Moscow Times and Saint Petersburg Times as well as his work The Ecologist, The Nation, Christian Science Monitor, and Columbia Journalism Review. His story, "Into the Dark: The Pentagon Plan to Foment Terrorism," was chosen as one of Project Censored's "Top 25 Stories of 2002/2003." His pieces have also been anthologized in Media Democracy in Action: Censored 2004, and the I Hate Republicans Reader. Perhaps this should be a stub due to it's length?

I am trying to find out why Chris Floyd is slated for deletion or if this is a normal process? As I cannot find any discussion of the matter I thought I would start. Floyd meets the criteria of "Published authors, editors, and photographers who have written books with an audience of 5,000 or more or in periodicals with a circulation of 5,000 or more" with his work at the Moscow and St. Petersburg Times. So if it's a technical problem with the submission then I would like to know how I can improve this entry. I find the style of it not that much different than the Alexander Cockburn entry. 82.73.153.58 17:00, 4 October 2005 (UTC)caribmon
