[edit] Quotation

I think the quotation on your user page should be attributed to somebody, anonymous if nothing else. It looks ambivalent to have a quotation thrown out without reference; it almost communicates plagiarism.

I removed the quotation marks. Hope that's satisfactory. All the best, --John Foxe 10:55, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quiverfull article

Any thoughts on the NPOV issue brought up there? CyberAnth 01:58, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I think it does display NPOV. Of course this is extremely subjective, but I think that it is reasonable for a page to display its subject in the best light while remaining objective, and this article does that as does most other well-written pages I have read. The negative section that talks about "mindguards" especially indicates that this page does not suppress information purely on the basis of contradiction to a point of view. I think I agree with changing the tag. -- Whiteknox 02:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate the perspective, bro, especially since the person who made the charge as been silent since making it. I will most definitely fully understand if no, but would you be willing to also state your opinion on the Quiverfull page? I realize the page also needs citations, which I have them but have been stopped up by the dispute. Weasel words will go at the same time. CyberAnth 06:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
I ended up adding lots of cites and removed most WWs tonight. CyberAnth 09:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

  1. By wanting my support did you mean you want me to post on the talk page? I don't think I want to get into making content changes to the article.
  2. Is the controversy about the article being biased towards QF position or biased against it?
It doesn't look to me like the person who placed the tag is willing to show his head; have you tried looking up who did it in the history of the page? Maybe you can contact him on his talk page. --Whiteknox 16:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mark Sanford

After reviewing the talk page, like you suggested, I decided to remove the "Libertarian" category tag. Perhaps it's not quite accurate after all. Thanks for the input. --JayJasper --Thanks. --Whiteknox 01:55, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jim Berg

I haven't taken a look at "Jim Berg" for a long time. He's certainly more notable than Pokemon characters and other emphemera of popular culture that seem to be treated overly seriously here. Let's see what can be done. Thanks for your interest.--John Foxe 20:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
