Talk:Media coverage of anti-Obama whisper campaigns

The discussions on Talk:Barack Obama Muslim rumor is about the article and is applicable regardless of the name of the article, so it should be moved with the article. If you want to start the new page with a clean history, then archive the content of the page. Doing a page move just to obfuscate the prior discussions seems a bit... unproductive. --Bobblehead 01:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Motivation

By my calculations, at least 87% of your nearly 9000 edits deal with Obama, and you appear to be very protective of him in your edits. Now 9000 edits makes you one of the most prolific of Misplaced Pages's editors—less than 1% of editors have had that many edits, ever, let alone over a one-year time span. But 7500 edits just on Obama? I mean, if it was an interest in politics, then there would be some other areas you'd surely have edited. Why shouldn't we presume that you are an Obama staffer, or even Michelle Obama?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.234.5.65 (talk • contribs)

HailFire is an even-handed, conscientious, fair editor who should be thanked for the contributions made, not second-guessed. The above comment is out of line. Tvoz |talk 06:11, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

HailFire's contributions show he's been editing here since July 2006, well before the 2008 Presidential election season ever started. What I'm wondering now is the identity of this anonymous accuser; judging by the tone and this accusation's proximity to the Barack Obama Muslim rumor VfD, I have a few guesses.

I came to this page to ask him if he was anti-Obama. :-) Steve Dufour (talk) 11:31, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Info Box Image on Barack Obama presidetial campaign, 2008

HailFire, I appreciate your dedication to helping with Barack Obama's page, however there has been no sort of consensus among the discussion on the Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_United_States_presidential_elections#Campaign_article_infobox_image page. Currently Candidate Photographs are being used in each candidates Info Box. Please refrain from changing the info box photo until that discussion reaches some type of consensus. This is nothing special to Barack Obama, it is applied to every 2008 presidential campaign page. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! Rtr10 (talk) 20:50, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

See the discussion - in fact there has been no consensus to change to images across the board, and the logos should not have been changed in the first place without the editors' agreement. So reverting to the logo was appropriate. Tvoz |talk 06:08, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Interview

Hi HailFire,

I sent you an e-mail a couple of days ago about participating in an interview for my thesis. I'm really interested in your experience with the Barack Obama article, and I'd really love to talk with you about it!

Please let me know either way.
