[edit] About adding in that DiscoverTheNetworks.org link

I'm sure I'll catch some grief for adding that link in, but it has a lot of information in it that you can't find in the Newsweek bio. Don't delete it unless you can find me a significant factual error in it. It makes for a good balance against the unambiguously positive Newsweek bio. Zongalt 21:32, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

That's not how it works, here. We don't link to unreliable sources. Please remove it, and source it's important facts elsewhere. Thanks. Hipocrite - «Talk» 18:55, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

I disagree with you. I'd like to see why you consider the source "unreliable" necessarily. It has an editorial agenda certainly, but the same can be said of many sources linked to on wikipedia.com. In fact all that I've done is link to the discoverthenetworks Evan Thomas page. I didn't rely on it for anything I've added to the article (beyond the month/year of birth). In the spirit of not starting a silly edit war, I won't add the link back in just now, but I will add it back later unless you can show me something about that link that's unfair or inaccurate to support your claim of it being an "unreliable" source.

[edit] Reverted

I went ahead and reverted this article to its old version prior to the copyright violation. Zongalt 14:56, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wasn't me!

I just noticed that whoever expanded this article just did a stupid little cut and paste of Newsweek's bio. I feel dumb now for inserting those links into it! But I wasn't the one who did the expanding. Just for the record! Zongalt 06:27, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
