Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Henry Kissinger appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. Nishkid64 _{(Make articles, not wikidrama)} 15:49, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Frankly, I find statements like "...as a way of preventing any outbreaks of freedom and democracy..." to be incorrect. Furthermore, "US wars of aggression and supporting foreign dictatorships" were all part of Kissinger's policy of realpolitik, so that's redundant. Editors must follow the policy of WP:BLP, which stresses that they must exercise a high level of sensitivity when adding material to an article about a living person. In particular, the policies of no original research, neutral point of view, and verifiability must be observed. This is quite clearly not the case with your edits, as you insist on presenting Kissinger as some murderous criminal (which I agree with, but that's here nor there).

Research survey invitation

Greetings Cosmodeluxe-

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a doctoral student at the University of Oregon, studying digital media and online community. I am posting to invite you to participate in my research study exploring the work of Wikipedia editors who are members of WikiProject: Countering Systemic Bias. The online survey should take 20 to 25 minutes to complete and can be found here:

Your responses will help online communication researchers like me to better understand the collaborations, challenges, and purposeful work of Wikipedia editors like you. In addition, at the end of the survey you will have the opportunity to express your interest in a follow-up online interview with the researcher.

This research project has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Research Committee as well as the Office for Protection of Human Subjects at the University of Oregon. For a detailed description of the project, please visit its Meta page. This survey is voluntary, and your confidentiality will be protected.

By completing the survey, you are providing consent to participate in the research.

If you have any questions about the study, please contact me via my Talk Page (UOJComm) or via email. My faculty advisor is Dr. Ryan Light.
