[edit] Feb. 2008 revert/edit war

To User:Marge60 et al - please cite sources for your additions to this article, and be sure to follow WP:NPOV, WP:Source, and WP:DEV. I'm going to stay out of this revert war between you and others, for now. While SOME of the information that you have added seems possibly pertinent, encyclopedic, and useful, a good part of it is flag-waving and grandstanding. This is not the place for it. I'll allow you a few days to clean it up. Otherwise it is going to have to come out, again. ♣♦ SmartGuy ♥♠ 15:29, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

It's a WP:BLP. Contentious material needs to be removed on sight, but so does self-aggrandizing polemics. 2005 (talk) 23:00, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] BLP

I have removed material from this article that does not comply with our policy on the biographies of living persons. Biographical material must always be referenced from reliable sources, especially negative material. Negative material that does not comply with that must be immediately removed. Note that the removal does not imply that the information is either true or false.

Please do not reinsert this material unless you can provide reliable citations, and can ensure it is written in a neutral tone. Please review the relevant policies before editing in this regard. Editors should note that failure to follow this policy may result in the removal of editing privileges. Shell ^babelfish 00:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
