I suggest that you discuss on the talk page before making major changes, such as deleting paragraphs, to controversial articles. — goethean ॐ 14:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
With all due respect, Goethean, you don't seem to practice what you suggest. The paragraphs, inappropriate 'controversial articles,' and statements I have removed through the editing process have been to preserve the neutrality of the entry. It is inappropriate to include statements not made by the person for whom the entry was created. It is highly inappropriate to include yellow-page ads of an entrant's law firm when there are public use pictures available on the internet, and you should know better.
My personal political opinions aside, Misplaced Pages does not afford us the luxury of posting anything but the NEUTRAL truth. Statements by campaign staff or national political organizations does not speak to the individual entrant.
The Illinois races are exceptionally ugly this year, and I will not allow Misplaced Pages to be used as propaganda. I am not suggesting that you are actively trying to do so, but I think it is clear to more than just a few people that you allowing a personal bias to influence your prodigious abilities as an editor. As a co-editor and out of respect, I would ask you to take a step back and recognize that your personal bias might be coming into play here. Pete 21:41, 25 October 2006 (UTC)arcayne
Please do not remove content from Misplaced Pages, as you did to Misplaced Pages:Village pump (policy). It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 02:39, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
t I appreciate your heads up. The deleted content was information that I had added in the wrong way (needed to add it as a separate discussion, as opposed to part of a pre-existing, unrelated discussion). I admit that I envy your skills at using KP's many editing tools. Is there a primer somewhere that I can refer to?Pete 02:50, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
