On what basis are you deleting influential political scientists? Uday Mehta is one of the top political theorists in the nation, winner of the Greenstone Prize for the book "Liberalism and Empire," winner of a Carnegie Foundation genius award etc. Tulis is one of the most influential Americanists, author of "The Rhetorical Presidency" a book not only on virtually every leading graduate school comprehensive exam list, but also the subject of articles and editorials in the New York Times, Atlantic Monthly, Washington Post, Newsweek, the New York review of Books and other venues of general interest. Please restore these deletions. annie 01:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions.

Currently, you are editing without a username. You can continue to do so, as you are not required to log in to Wikipedia to read and edit articles; however, logging in will result in a username being shown instead of your IP address (yours is 67.86.120.150). Logging in does not require any personal details, and there are many other benefits for logging in.

When you edit pages:

  • Please respect others' copyrights; do not copy and paste the contents from webpages directly.
  • Please use a neutral point of view when editing articles; this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
  • If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
  • Do not add unreasonable contents into any articles, such as copyrighted text, advertisement messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such content or editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. For now, if you are stuck, you can click the edit this page tab above, type {{helpme}} in the edit box, and then click Save Page; an experienced Wikipedian will be around shortly to answer any questions you may have. Also feel free to ask a question on my Talk page. I will answer your questions as far as I can! Thank you again for contributing to Wikipedia. Kimchi.sg 15:42, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eurasia Group

Hi there. One of Wikipedia's "non-negotiable" policies is that of verifiability. What this means, in short, is that all statements made in an article must be from a reputable published source. In other words, articles MUST have citations for all its "controversial" or "challengeable" claims (i.e. you don't have to reference "the sky is blue" or "George Bush is the president of the US" but you DO have to reference "the sky is blue because..." or "George Bush's popularity has declined dramatically recently".). In this context, some of the claims in the Eurasia article clearly needs references. If these are not added, the relevant statements will have to be removed.

Hi again. Thanks for adding references to the article. You'll see I've changed the link to the Economist article so it points to the article on the Economist website itself, not Eurasia group's. Also, I've reinserted the citation needed tag after the sentence "Developed over a five-year period by experts in transitional politics and economics, the methodology provides an "early warning" system which helps anticipate critical trends and provides a measure for country capacity to withstand political, economic, security, and social shocks" because the link provided ([1]) doesn't really support the claims made in the sentence. You'll also noticed I've put the external links in footnotes (as is proper) & that I've moved the link in the "recent news stories" to external links (where it belongs). Lastly, I deleted the trivia section because, until you can provide a reference, it fails WP:V. Regards, Mikker (...) 23:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joseph S. Nye, Jr.

I was wondering about the edit that you made to Nye's page on September 5th of 2005, in relation to its verifiability. Having read Nye's work I don't doubt that he could be considered for the position of NSA and could well have been the preferred choice, but I had never heard that claim and would consider it to be challengeable without a particular reference. While doing my own search for any reference to the claim on the internet, the only hits I received came from sources that had merely taken the Wiki entry verbatim. As such, it could be viewed as a contentious claim in that it could have come from you and you alone. I'd appreciate it if you could cite your reference for this claim. Thanks. —The preceding Sweens112 comment was added by Sweens112 talk 06:59, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
