== Buchanan edits == |
|||
Hi - |
|||
Thanks for your note re: my edits to Vern Buchanan's page. Please review my edits for neutral POV, and if I come off as biased, please let me know and edit/delete as you see fit. I was just trying to update for the new Congress with some properly-cited legislative issues (and the 'alleged' thing just caught my eye, as he hadn't been found guilty of anything yet, and I watch a lot of Law & Order :-). |
|||
Best. |

== Re Cotton Rogers == |
|||
I briefly edited under my IP address [[Special:Contributions/74.79.39.105|74.79.39.105]] before deciding to make my self avail to the benefits of an account (I'm not sure what your getting at) since i enjoyed editing so much. also I was not editing against consensus just against your opinions (and maybe one other person) also you grossly oversimplified my argument it was a lot more than "I liked the other way better" to be honest I thought you were editing against consensus I will keep on editing Kirsten Gillibrand you arguments are species at best <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Cotton Rogers|Cotton Rogers]] ([[User talk:Cotton Rogers|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Cotton Rogers|contribs]]) 17:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

have changed wording and added both sides of the argument in attempt to satisfy both our concerns since your previous edit I believe was unneutral while my changes are neutral and give balance to both sides not one over the other any way let me know your opinion on the recent changes and additions as I find them fair and admit maybe my prevoius wording was a little hasty[[User:Cotton Rogers|Cotton Rogers]] ([[User talk:Cotton Rogers|talk]]) 18:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC) |

==Re Dean Dozen== |
|||
I think you definitely have a point with questioning the notable nature of my edits. I am making the changes for the sake of uniformity and updating outdated pages. A lot of these candidates don't even have mention of running an election in 2012. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Aesco77|Aesco77]] ([[User talk:Aesco77|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Aesco77|contribs]]) 19:19, 22 August 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

==Re Robert Dold== |
|||
Hi Arbor8. Congressional Dold does not support a constitutional ban on gay marriage. I have checked with his office. This article you linked is mistaken. That's why, unless you have a quote of video footage of him saying as much, it should be removed. He is not in favor of gay marriage, but doesn't support a constitutional ban. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:WIBSTRBS|WIBSTRBS]] ([[User talk:WIBSTRBS|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/WIBSTRBS|contribs]]) 16:09, 4 September 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

:Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a publisher of original research. If you can find a reliable secondary source, then by all means make the edit. Please see [[WP:OR]] for more on the topic. [[User:Arbor8|Arbor8]] ([[User talk:Arbor8#top|talk]]) 17:21, 4 September 2012 (UTC) |

Hi Arbor. I understand, but as you can see on his website (http://www.doldforcongress.com/pages/social_issues/295.php), he never mentions supporting a constitutional ban on gay marriage. It is disingenuous to say otherwise. You are intentionally misrepresenting his position, and clearly your view is far from neutral. Don't you think if he supported something as drastic as a constitutional ban on an issue he would note it on his website? <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:WIBSTRBS|WIBSTRBS]] ([[User talk:WIBSTRBS|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/WIBSTRBS|contribs]]) 01:33, 6 September 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

::The fact that he doesn't mention it on his website doesn't indicate anything other than that he doesn't mention it on his website. Any other extrapolation is your interpretation, which doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. [[User:Arbor8|Arbor8]] ([[User talk:Arbor8#top|talk]]) 14:49, 6 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:::WIBSTRBS, do you have any affiliation with the Dold campaign? [[User:Arbor8|Arbor8]] ([[User talk:Arbor8#top|talk]]) 14:50, 6 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
No, but I think claim is extremely biased and unfounded. Encyclopedias don't just cite things as fact based on a single news source, especially if it's not based off a quote, photo, video, etc. I felt the claim that Robert Dold supports a constitutional ban on gay marriage sounded false, so I did my homework and even spoke to his office to confirm it's not true. It seems you have your own reasons to keep something you know to be untrue on Wikipedia, and so I'll take it up with the Wiki staff. <small><span class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:WIBSTRBS|WIBSTRBS]] ([[User talk:WIBSTRBS|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/WIBSTRBS|contribs]]) 02:32, 7 September 2012 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

: Hi! Arbor8 is right on this. If the text accurately reflects what is in the source then that is the "truth" for Wikipedia. If you want to make the case for changing this you need to find another reliable secondary source (More than one is better) that reflects what you want to add.[[User:Lesbianadvocate|Lesbianadvocate]] ([[User talk:Lesbianadvocate|talk]]) 23:39, 14 September 2012 (UTC) |

==Heidi Heitkamp== |
|||
Hi! Would you mind posting on the talk page at [[Heidi Heitkamp]] to explain why you think the part about "pay-to-play" is not notable? You have deleted this material two times without posting anything on the talk page. I don't think that is very constructive. In any event, your input would be appreciated.

== [[User:65.34.254.59]] == |
|||
Hi Arbor8, |
|||
Another admin declined your report at [[WP:AIV]], and I've removed it. The other admin mentioned it being a stale report (more than 2 days after last edits); that's not really a problem to me, since the same person has obviously been making these edits for a month. If it was simple vandalism, I'd have blocked for it. The problem is it isn't clearly vandalism; it appears to be more an issue of POV editing, or trying to achieve better NPOV in a bad way, or a content dispute, or BLP issues, or something. A little too complicated for AIV, where we generally handle obvious vandalism rapidly, rather than less obvious POV issues that require investigation or discussion. |
|||
It appears they've commented on the article talk page; please engage with them there. If there are POV-pushing issues that aren't resolved by discussion, then please consider [[WP:ANI]] instead of WP:AIV. --[[User:Floquenbeam|Floquenbeam]] ([[User talk:Floquenbeam|talk]]) 20:11, 27 September 2012 (UTC) |
|||
:I looked into this a little more, have left a message on the IP's talk page, agree with your removal of their material, and have removed some more material myself. Let me know if they re-add the material without consensus, and I'll block the IP for a slow burning edit war. --[[User:Floquenbeam|Floquenbeam]] ([[User talk:Floquenbeam|talk]]) 20:23, 27 September 2012 (UTC) |
