-I believe Anarchaos (the novelette) by Donald E. Westlake should be required reading for all people wishing to start wikipedias. the librarian


Never having read the Lewinsky scandal article in its previous form, all I can say is that it's looking pretty good at the moment. As someone who went out of her way to avoid reading about it or watching it on the news at the time, the article tells me everything I need to know, in a concise and logical manner. Congratulations on whatever bits are your work. (By the way, did you know you've spelled "accurate" wrongly on your user page?) Deb 22:00 Jan 30, 2003 (UTC)

-Thanks! Speling corrected! That's a quote btw, but I assume completely my transcription typo.
-I was allegedly working on a novel during the Impeachment proceedings (and subsequent kosovo war), but in fact I watched 80% of the hearings and read most of the documents, and took notes. It was kind of appalling the way almost every single participant (except perhaps Rehnquist) came off looking bad. Even people who were adopting an arguably correct position would betray that they were doing it for partisan reasons.
-I am expecting it to be seriously vandalized by partisan entities in the future since Google.com seems to be the standard of research here and for every arguably impartial depiction of the topic there are several thousand of one partisan slant or another. Though the scholarly literature has a better ratio of bullshit to thought, partisan feelings run deep and non-scientific scholarship is usually POV (it's considered a virtue in most fields to argue a position).

[edit] In ref. to Religious persecution

The article you created lacks sources. Would you cite authoritative sources in the particular article? Regards, --Andy123(talk) 12:59, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
