this is a rather short article for the most circulated newspaper in New England. I'm sure we can do better than this, just not sure how to go about improving the article.--Alhutch 10:54, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cartoon controversy?

I'm going to get rid of the "Cartoon Controversy" section. If they didn't publish the cartoons, than there was no controversy. If their refusal to publish the cartoons led to outcry, than it needs to be sourced. AFAIK nobody really cared that they didn't. -Xcm 19:03, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Your edit was reverted, but I agree. Including this implies that the Globe was an actual player in the controversy itself, as opposed to merely reporting it, and, to my knowledge, it was not. --Elcocinero 17:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] other controversies

Should mention be made of the Mike Barnicle and Patricia Smith fabrication controversies? Coming right after one another the way they did made the Globe look really bad for a time.--ColForbin 02:02, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

If you can write it in a WP:NPOV way, then be bold and do so!

done, hope people like it.--ColForbin 20:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

I added a section on Peter Quinn, and I also suggest deleting the "Big Dig" section unless a citation is provided Mateo LeFou 21:29, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
