[edit] Point of view

Mfields1 has added a paragraph detailing Cranley's recent campaign against Chabot, but it reads just like a campaign site. We can perhaps mention specific complaints about corporate welfare and so on, but we shouldn't state those particular terms as fact, since that'd violate our Neutral point of view policy. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 19:01, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Minh Nguyễn - please compare the selected versions. I did not add the paragraph. I did add the information from the current news about John Cranley's decision to run for Congress. The information has external links to news articles. Look at earlier versions. The original paragraph was added a long time ago. Mfields1 01:15, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Okay, sorry. [1] got messed up a little when you added a line. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 09:19, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

An unreferenced tag was added to Catholic Background because this line needs a source "Some analysts have indicated that his opponent's success is due to the conservative sentiment within the district." --KiltedMile 06:47, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I am not in this Ohio district and have no interest in the election, but I noticed the tag that was added. I included a publication date since the article referenced a publication of 6 years ago. Often Wikipedia articles about political candidates are vandalized and slant the information one way or the other depending on the editor's politics. Where possible references should be current material. Mfields1 23:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
