My changes are accurate and foot-noted.

edit

My changes are accurate and footnoted and I removed the quotations and extraneous material that have no business in an encyclopedia article.

WHAT IS WRONG HERE?

edit

Why do you keep inserting those materials that have nothing to do with the case in the Bill Janklow article? Public statements are not admissible into evidence, and a federal tort claims action has nothing to do with a criminal conviction. You must have written this originally is all I can figure. If so, please take off the NPOV badge when you compare that language to my neutral, dispassionate prose. The returned language is certainly is NOT encyclopedia material.

Negative facts about the man may be as relevant to the article as favorable facts. It is certainly is a fact that Bill Janklow was convicted numerous times of speeding and other driving violations and that he even boasted he ignored speed limits and that these became more notable facts when his driving killed a man. That this was not admitted as evidence in court does not mean it must be left out of the article: Wikipedia is not a case, it is an encyclopedia.
Your edits seem to have the effect of whitewashing away many unpleasant things about this figure. I didn't put those in, originally, but I do object to an attempt to take all negative facts out. Jonathunder 22:19, 14 February 2007 (UTC)Reply


I call for review

edit

I am sorry but I have had illnesses in my family and have been out of commission. I call for a review on this dispute. Your political statements have nothing to do with the case, and only legal evidence admitted in court should be in that part of the article. If you want to make a secion about "criticisms of Janklow" or such go ahead. That is appropriate in the article but not muddied up in the court case. Mixing political charges in the court case is purely wrong. My revision is factual and footnoted.

I shall reinstate my revision, after a few days if I hear nothing further.

The other revisions are anonymous. Mine are factual and foot-noted. Eliminate the other revision that is biased and not neutral.

WHERE IS THE AUTHORITY FOR THIS?

edit

I removed the hand. Where is the authority for its insertion? Anyone can copy a hand and put it in.

I also removed the 3rr. It was placed in anonymously. Anyone can put that in.
