[edit] Ward Churchill article

As you say, talk pages are for making the articles better, so discussions really ought to be at least notionally related to the topic of the article. I don't think you were too far off base in this instance, but you did phrase it as something of a generalised complaint about unfair treatment of WC, rather than how the article might be being unfair to him, what other material it might be appropriate to include (or omit), etc. Otherwise, I might be included to take such concerns to some other article's talk page where it might be more appropriate: Fox News, or media bias, etc.

I do occasionally watch Fox News, which is shown on Sky over here -- with no advertising I've ever seen, which gives you an idea how seriously it's taken over here as a news service. But I find it useful to update myself now and then as to what the Scary American Right is trying to pass off as "Fair and Balanced" these days. I wouldn't claim to be fully up to date with these wrangling, by any means. Alai 00:36, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
