hi rlorenc. i don't quite understand your edit to americans for limited gov. it seems to me if you feel the statements violate npov, you should alter them, as opposed to just deleting the substance of the entry. it seems to me that an entry on a pac organization either has to include the relevant opposing views or will constitute a mere advertisement for the organization (which is, to my mind, the graver threat to npov). anyway, these are my concerns and i'm interested in your thoughts--i haven't reverted anything...Benzocane 04:20, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I think that if anything controvercial needs to be posted, it should, perhaps, be placed in a Controversy section rather than in the section that describes what ALG does or what its intent is.

Your feelings?

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:DSC09251.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DSC09251.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 04:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
