I don't like the crticised by some in the INIO, if you get rid of the heading criticism then you are just noted what he said , its more then the INGO who have criticised him for advocating invading Sudan, note I didn't say invade in the piece. that was my npov

Your additions to this bio are completely inappropriate. Wikipedia has very strict policies regarding appropriate content in a biography of a living person. Adding loaded terms like "liberal imperialism" and making facetious statements like "under the guise of humanitarian intervention", mostly based on less-than reliable sources, is not okay. Period.

1. New threads of discussion always go at the bottom of a page. 2. It doesn't matter what you think about liberal imperialism. The article is a biography of Power, not a critical treatise on the concept of humanitarian intervention. Wikipedia relies on verifiability and neutrality, not truth. In practice, this means we don't label people with controversial terms like "liberal imperialist". In a section that is intended to be about Power's political views as she states them, your contributions are inappropriate. We do not say, "power supports liberal imperialism". We say, "This reliable source has stated that Powers supports governmental and military intervention for humanitarian reasons." That's how to write a neutral sentence on the subject. If you can attribute what a balanced spectrum of reliable sources have said about Power's politics while refraining from using loaded terminology that is based on a particular opinion, then please add it. If not, refrain from editing the page. Steven Walling (talk) 20:13, 2 February 2009 (UTC)Reply


liberal imperialist isn't a loaded or pejorative term, there's no other way to put it, or to put her proposals
