Rob Bishop Changes
Thanks for looking over the Rob Bishop page. Your changes are fine, however there were two paragraphs deleted that I have since re-sourced and inserted back into the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snyderut1847 (talk • contribs) 20:07, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
- I made a change to your change which kept the same meaning, but removed some of the more (in my opinion) anti-Bishop sentiments. Also, if you could find a source besides thinkprogress.org (a progressive left-leaning website), it would be great. I kept it in there because the video speaks for itself, but I'd rather have the "review" of the video done by a newspaper or similar entity. Thanks for your help, Spalds (talk) 03:48, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks again. I understand the importance of keeping the neutral point of view so I made some slight tweaks that retain that, however don't overlook any facts.
- So far so good, but I think that changing the source from thinkprogress.org to WSJ is counter-productive to the reader, as no real information is available from the WSJ site, except for the link to thinkprogress.org Spalds (talk) 23:13, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

The Right Stuff: September 2011
By Lionelt
Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Right Stuff, the newsletter of WikiProject Conservatism. The Project has developed at a breakneck speed since it was created on February 12, 2011 with the edit summary, "Let's roll!" With over 50 members the need for a project newsletter is enormous. With over 3000 articles to watch, an active talk page and numerous critical discussions spread over various noticeboards, it has become increasingly difficult to manage the information overload. The goal of The Right Stuff is to help you keep up with the changing landscape.
The Right Stuff is a newsletter consisting of original reporting. Writers will use a byline to "sign" their contributions. Just as with The Signpost, "guidelines such as 'no ownership of articles', and particularly 'no original research', will not necessarily apply."
WikiProject Conservatism has a bright future ahead: this newsletter will allow us tell the story. All that's left to say is: "Let's roll!"

A new style guide to help standardize editing was rolled out. It focuses on concepts, people and organizations from a conservatism perspective. The guide features detailed article layouts for several types of articles. You can help improve it here. The Project's Article Collaboration currently has two nominations, but they don't appear to be generating much interest. You can get involved with the Collaboration here.
I am pleased to report that we have two new members: Rjensen and Soonersfan168. Rjensen is a professional historian and has access to JSTOR. Soonersfan168 says he is a "young conservative who desires to improve Wikipedia!" Unfortunately we will be seeing less of Geofferybard, as he has announced his semi-retirement. We wish him well. Be sure to stop by their talk pages and drop off some Wikilove.

On August 3rd Peter Oborne, a British journalist, became the Project's 3,000th tagged article. It is a tribute to the membership that we have come this far this quickly. The latest Featured Article is Richard Nixon. Our congratulations to Wehwalt for a job well done. The article with the most page views was Rick Perry with 887,389 views, not surprising considering he announced he was running for president on August 11th. Follwing Perry were Michele Bachmann and Tea Party movement. The Project was ranked 75th based on total edits, which is up from 105th in July. The article with the most edits was Republican Party (United States) presidential primaries, 2012 with 374 edits. An RFC regarding candidate inclusion criteria generated much interest on the talk page.
Great work!
