[edit] Jim Hightower page
I'm glad to see that you're working on the Hightower article, as you are well-placed to know the facts. It's worth reading Wikipedia:NPOV, particularly as you're associated with Hightower. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that your edits have been other than neutral. Derex @ 17:59, 2 November 2005 (UTC)
Please see the questions on Jim Hightower Mediation Cabal page. Thanks, Steven McCrary 00:37, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Laura, I am wondering if you have read the Wikipedia policies on POV and Dispute resolution? I hope so; as we work through this mediation, it could be that the POV you hold proves to be true, in which case, it may be necessary for you to follow the procedures specified in Wikipedia policies to get the page corrected. Is there any way that Mr. Hightower's vote can be definitely proven? In other words, are the superdelegate votes recorded by both voter name and vote? I would guess not. Anyway there are some remedies to be aware of: first post a {{TotallyDisputed}} POV tag to the page, then report the POV to an administrator, ask the page to be protected, ask the user to be blocked for posting incorrect information, or ask for arbitration. Anyway, please read the policies. I will keep working to get the user to post sources. Thanks, SteveMc 22:51, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
I have issued my final response on the Mediation of the Jim Hightower page at Wikipedia:Mediation_Cabal/Cases/2005-12-12_Biography_for_Jim_Hightower. Good luck, SteveMc 01:28, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
