I prefer having the entire official photo of the secretary, not a cropped version. A rectangular image also looks better in the rectangular cells of the table. The fact that it's FL already does not mean it's perfect and may not be changed; I was WP:BOLD and went with a different style. If you significanly prefer the little picture frames, then maybe we can work something out or see what others think. Reywas92Talk 20:45, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

The ones I removed were either common or linked terms that did not require quotation marks or they were not even quotes. When it's a single word, that's paraphrasing that happens to use one of the same key words, not a quote. Most of the others in the article are correct, though. Reywas92Talk 16:43, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
I know perfectly well what I'm talking about!!! They are incorrect! You can rephrase them, but as they currently are, they are paraphrasing, NOT quoting. You cannot quote a single word unless it is unique and requires it. He made a distinction between judgment and experience noting the importance of the former. That's exactly what he did! Sure, he said those words, but it's not a quote in that form. dismissing his Democratic rival's calls for capping the number of troops in the nation... Yes, capping the number. That's NOT a quote in that form, just using the same word. He called Obama the only candidate... It's a paraphrase!

Incomprehensible? Really? I reworded part of my changes, but rather than quoting a single word, you should quote accurately. Some of those were very simple fixes to be truer to the original quote. You said I changed what was said by the candidate; I went to the references for those, so I don't think so. I know dead links are allowed, but a replacement is better. Reywas92Talk 17:55, 10 June 2009 (UTC) Apology accepted. Now let's work on these articles constructively. I'm not perfect, so I missed the latter/former part, but putting the words together is much more accurate if you're going to quote. Many quotation marks are wrong and should be either removed or reworded. If it's a qoute, then be true to what the person said, or else it's paraphrasing.

Non-free debate images in campaign articlesBefore I go on a nomination spree, is there anything I'm missing about the "This is X at Y debate, as shown on Z news network" images you've uploaded for the campaign articles? They seem to be in obvious violation of our non-free content criteria, in that they add practically nothing to the articles. Specifically, I am referring to File:Baldwin debate.jpg, File:Bob Barr on Fox News.jpg, File:Dodd december debate.jpg and File:Dodd november debate.jpg, which seem exactly the same as the two images already deleted, and the two I have just nominated.

I left an edit summary. I do not understand why my autosummary was not included in the action. All I can say is that i was endeavoring to take your point seriously. Ny edit summary: material that conflicts with NPOV cannot be allowed in; I explain myself on the talk page." I hope we can continue to have an GF discussion on the talk page. I believe that you believe the section is saying something important. I believe that at best it is not saying what you want it to say clearly and effectively; I believe it is actually saying something else. As to what you wish it to say, I am not at all sure there is a need for the policy to have a section saying so. Our policies will be easier for newbis to learn and for people to follow when they are concise and clear. Slrubenstein | Talk 22:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC) moralizing"I think you're reading too much into it, but let's ask Karada for a clarification. Honestly though, I will continue to edit with my interpretation of the policy, because I feel it is important that editors not moralize. This policy removes the urge to label a subject as a "racist," "pervert" or any other label, and instead state the facts of the subject, such as their participation in lynching or alleged sexual assault. It's good to point to, when a new user insists on using such a label on a subject" I know you are making good faith points. I genuinely believe you profoundly misunderstand NPOV. You seem to be responding to editors who wish to add labels, at least about people - I hope I am understanding you correctly, you are asking what do we do when someone adds "The evil Saddam Hussein." Here is my problem: when you point to Kadara's statement in the NPOV policy as an explanation for why they should take out evil, you are giving them a reason that is (1) unnecessary, because NPOV already covers this, and (2) wrong, because Kadara's reasoning (and yours I say with respect) contradicts NPOV. Here is what I think any editor should say to a new user who insist using a label on a subject. We say: NPOV (and V and NOR as well, they all unite on this point) forbids any editor from putting his or her own view into an article. Period. That is all one has to say. That is why I think Kadara's statement is unnecessary. But there is a reason why we do not add our own views. That is because we are not supposed to use Wikipedia articles to argue for or against any view. Neutral Point of View means that we provide a neutral (judgment-free) account of all significant views from verifiable sources.
According to NPOV, none of these views are true, and we do not care to argue that any or all of them are true or false. We present all of them, as views, and neutrally. If the advocates of these views (must I remind you, only those that are demonstrably significant and demonstrably verifiable) provide explanations and evidence to support their views, we can add that too. Now the crucial point: we add them as views and not because we editors want to support a given view. We do not state the facts because fact are better than labels. We state the facts because - really if - a verifiable source expressing a significant view is using facts. We put in stuff because it is significant and comes from reliable sources. Kadara seems to be saying that if an editor believes Hussein to be evil, the editor will convince more people if instead of using a label, the editor provides the evidence. William (if I may), if I could scream I would, and it is nothing personal against you or kadara but this reasoning - if I am interpreting it correctly - is just the most blatant violation of NPOV and it stabs at the heart of Wikipedia. No editor should be using Wikipedia to advance a viewpoint This is also the heart of WP:NOR, another core content policy. In all the discussion surrounding my deletion of this section, I seem to be getting two criticisms. First, that I am trying to tell readers what to think. Given what i have just written, do you still believe that of me? I am not trying to tell readers anything other than what other people ("signiicant views/reliable sources") think. Second, that facts are more effective than labels. But effective at what? Arguing a point? Supporting a point? Wikiepdia editors should never be trying to argue or support any point in an article. A final point about moralizing - and a spoiler, all my comments are about what I think NPOV demands of me as a Wikipedia editor, not what I personally think if you and I were hanging out at a bar. The first question is, who is moralizing. (It cannot be a newbie or even an established editor, because no wikipedian ever puts their own view into an article (I do not have to say Wikipedians cannot moralize - it doesn't matter whether it is moralizing or any other view; we editors simply do not put our views into an article). Maybe moralizing is good. Maybe moralizing is bad. I have just expressed two views. One of them is mine and I will not tell you which because my view never can go into a Wikipedia article. We put the view in only if it is significant and from a verifiable source. Example: George Bush says Saddam Hussein is evil. We have a discussion on the talk page. Some people say the president of the US is not a significant view. Some people say he is but even if he weren't others share this view. People look for sources and after much discussion come up with some kind of sentence that basically expresses this: Many people have publically agreed with Bush's denouncement of Saddam Hussein as evil." This view may be right or wrong. Thinking it right or wrong is itself a view. i happen to hold one of these views, but i will not tll you which because it doesn't matter because my job as editor is not to put in my own views. Bush is moralizing - I certainly agree on that! But that is not a reason to keep that sentence out of the article. IF we agree the view is significant and IF it comes from verifiable reliable sources, we HAVE to put it in. Now another editor comes to the discussion and says "Move.Org just put out commercials on all major networks saying Bush is wrong." We have a discussion, we decide whether this is significant and verifiable and if we decide yes, we can put in the article the fact that some people hold the view that Bush's view is wrong. And if Amnesty International or the Secretary general of the UN issues a press release saying that "Bush's moralizing rhetoric is not only ineffective, it is inflammatory and dangerous" we have the same discussion: is this a significant and verifiable view/ If so, in it goes.
These are the only responses you ever need to give to a newbie who inserts the word "perverted" or "evil" or whatever into an article. You can keep deleting the word pervert as long as the newbie does not establish that it is a significant view found in reliable sources. But as soon as (IF) the newbie demonstrates that it is a significant view from reliable sources, William, honestly, you have to allow it. The only other question from an NPOV perspective is, are there other significant views from reliable sources? if so, we have to add those too and the newbie cannot stop you. But this - this paragraph - is as far as I can tell the only thing you need to know when a newbie slaps on the moralizing label "pervert." The problem is never labels, the problem is never moralizing. The problem is one of the three points I just listed. And the section I keep removing is offensive to me because it violates point 1 by saying a view should be excluded on grounds other than lack of significance ofr lack of reliable source, and it is offensive to me because it violates point 3 by encouraging an editor to put in facts that support the editor's views. I have bent over backwards to be as clear as possible about my position. Do you think my interpretations of NPOV and NOR in pts. 1-3 are wrong?

This wasn't done on the merits, per se, but just because having you and tarc edit war over the sanctions log was unproductive at best.

August, 2009Please do not use article talk pages to make personal attacks on other Wikipedia editors, as you have where you say you "question [my] judgement as a wikipedian because (you claim) I find a particular version of an article acceptable, here. Your recent edits to various Obama-related articles have already caused some concern with respect to edit warring and incivility. You are on notice that these articles are under "article probation", which means that they are subject to heightened scrutiny and a streamlined enforcement process. If you wish to continue editing these articles, please try to get along with other editors and do not make these kinds of accusations. Thanks, Wikidemon (talk) 06:48, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
WQAHi William, I'm responding to a "Wikiquette" alert placed here. I don't think we've interacted before, but I've tried to help out as an admin on some Obama-related articles for awhile. I'm not sure that a Wikiquette report was the right place for it, but obviously some editors have taken issue with your edits. I don't see anything blockworthy in terms of your comments and edits at Barack Obama citizenship conspiracy theories, but obviously as you know the article is under article probation, so there's less leeway in terms of edit warring, personal comments about other editors, etc. Admins will be quicker to enforce that kind of thing on an Obama page per the terms of the article probation, and you need to bear that in mind. The main concern I have, and you seem to have acknowledged this yourself, are a couple of edits where you make direct or implicit accusations of bad faith ([7] (in the edit summary) and [8] ). Those kind of sentiments always throw up a red flag for me on Obama-related articles. Unfortunately, the assumption tends to be that editors on one side are just there to defame Obama, and editors on the other side are just there to whitewash the article. Rarely do I find that to actually be the case. Rather you have a number of editors who tend to be fairly supportive of Obama, and others who are at least somewhat critical, and there is an argument about whether a given article, section, or sentence is NPOV or not. It gets pretty intense, but usually it's a matter of a content debate between well-meaning editors. I have not looked at all aspects of this dispute and have not really looked at the article in detail, so I don't have a particular position on your complaints about it. What I would recommend is that you detail specific issues, preferably one at a time, and see how far that gets you. At least in terms of your remarks from the last day or two that I read, they seem to be fairly generalized, complaining of general bias and misinformation, etc. etc. It's usually difficult to respond to those kind of comments because there's no specific point to latch onto. You might find that there are more editors who agree with some of your specific complaints than you would think, and if not, and if you feel they are not receiving proper consideration, you can consider getting outside opinion about the content dispute, or help from a mediator. What I don't want to see is more accusations of bad faith, or a tendency to personalize the dispute by calling other editors biased. If you've seen this from other editors (for example directed at you), please let me know and I'll discuss that with them as well (as I said I've just looked through this quickly, and I'm not trying to single you out). To be perfectly frank, editing politically contentious topics is not necessarily very much fun, as you are probably well aware. Lengthy and heated arguments are essentially endemic to those pages. As such civility, AGF, and an ability to respect consensus and refrain from edit warring are particularly important, so please do your best to hold tightly to those guidelines on the Obama articles, where they will be enforced tightly, by myself or other admins. Again, if there are other issues of which you think I should be aware don't hesitate to contact me. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 19:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

All I can say is ...I'll look at it. The thing is, there are diffs out the kazoo on this, plus whatever he may have done to offend the US Politics area, and I really don't have time to look at it tonight because I made promises to review some articles. I will try to do it all tomorrow, but I can't guarantee stuff. I'm way behind. OK?--Wehwalt (talk) 01:01, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

Doc Quintana (talk) 23:34, 22 December 2009 (UTC) deThere seems to be yet another debate over Mark Sanford and now whether not Bobby Jindal should remain on this page. Since you are an editor on this page, I was hoping you would be interested in joining the discussion at the link below. Please provide your feedback! Thanks so much! --Diamond Dave (talk) 20:05, 27 December 2009 (UTC) Just a note to let you know that I've failed this article's request for GA status. I've left a host of comments on the talk page as to things that need to be improved; it's certainly a good start though. Rebecca (talk) 23:57, 27 December 2009 (UTC) Re: HatsThere is no discussion. It's just you complaining about other users, which is not appropriate for the talk page, which is for discussing the article's content, not its contributors. Grsz11 01:25, 30 December 2009 (UTC) "Complaining"? No, it's about talk page etiquette. --William S. Saturn (talk) 01:26, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
