Untitled
editWhat is this thing, a campaign ad?
NPOV marker
editI added the NPOV marker because Babyboy1 deleted a negative paragraph and added a bunch of praiseful paragraphs. (I left the praiseful paragraphs and restored the negative paragraph, so that at least there's currently a halfway-complete picture, but both sides need to be toned down significantly and sectioned off.)

- I should mention that most of the praiseful paragraphs should ultimately be cut; I just left them all in there because I didn't have time yet to figure out what of them is wheat and what chaff. Ruakh 05:36, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
- This article definitely read like a campaign leaflet when the tag was added. However, most of the puffery is now gone. There is still some POV, though the direction seems to shift from paragraph to paragraph - like it sometimes does on Wikipedia. In light of all the changes since the tag was added, I thought it was time to remove the tag. However, please put it back if you disagree.Qball6 03:46, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
The Main Problem
editThe entire article, except for the first two paragraphs, were copied and pasted off of Randy's bio on his house.gov site. [1] I think all of the non-factual information (from the copied sections) should be deleted, or at least edited to be neutral. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mac35 (talk • contribs) .
- Definitely. Care to undertake that? Ruakh 22:21, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I'd be glad to do some editing to it, I've been planing on making a few additions anyway. Mac35
American Religious History Week, H. Res. 888
editThis article could include information on the controversy surrounding H. Res. 888, introduced by Forbes, which included 'affirmations' of questionable and false pro-religion interpretations of American history. See discussion at http://www.talk2action.org/story/2008/1/4/24725/53989, for example.
