opinion was not biased it is the honest opinion of a majority of their clients please replace the article - if anything the mission statement provided by themselves is biased and untrue.

This information is completely true, Rodrigue is my grandfather, I would know. So i feel this contribution shouldn't have been deleted.

Chuck DeVore

Thanks for working to correct my Wiki entry. The person who you are correcting must have me confused with someone else.

I have two unmarried daughters, not three.

I was born in Seattle, not in Iowa.

I have no idea whom this person is referencing.

My sincere thanks!

Deletion of Smear campaign section

Hi,

Regarding your deletion of the section the the Donald Trump article regarding Smear campaigns, can you please explain why you believe it is inappropriate to include smear campaigns in this and similar articles. Smear campaigns are just a campaign tactic. It is helpful for young readers to understand that this tactic is commonly used.

I make no comment regarding the accuracy or validity of the allegations against Mr. Trump.

In addition, you did not attempt to improve the section, you merely deleted it. I made the effort of balancing the section by noting Bill Clinton has been subjected to similar attacks.

I believe the issue of smear campaigns is important and it is important to link articles in Misplaced Pages as readers can become informed.

Isn't it better to let readers decide for themselves on whether this is a smear campaign?

Thanks, WSDavitt (talk) 18:03, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

You deleted the following:

The public allegations of misconduct against Donald Trump is an example of a smear campaign. Other politicians, such as Bill Clinton and Gary Hart, have been the target of the same campaign tactic. Smear campaigns are associated with yellow journalism which is a type of journalism that presents little well-researched news and instead uses eye-catching headlines, scandal-mongering and sensationalism. For example during Gary Hart's 1988 presidential campaign, the New York Post reported on its front page big, black block letters: "GARY: I'M NO WOMANIZER."

Hi, WSDavitt. I deleted the section because you included no reliable published sources that characterize this episode as a smear campaign, and as such the section is original research. I deleted it rather than trying to improve it because, as original research, it has no basis for inclusion in the article. Moreover, it is also original research to refer to these events as a campaign tactic, because there are no reliable published sources that can, with any credible degree of likelihood, point to the Clinton campaign as the source of these allegations. -- Rrburke (talk) 13:17, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi Rrburke,

Do you think the information I put on that page would be useful on another page such as Food and dining in the Roman Empire? Cannon98 (talk) 17:28, 28 October 2016 (UTC)Cannon98

IP on Polyenetian's page

I don't quite understand why you reverted the IP on Polyenetian's page as a "troll". They're obviously quite nationalistic, but compared to Polyenetian themselves in that regard, they come across as quite civilized. Bishonen | talk 12:48, 11 November 2016 (UTC).

The IP editor was engaging in personal attacks, viz. "you stupid fucking idiot", "Lol what a moron idiot" etc. -- Rrburke (talk) 12:55, 11 November 2016 (UTC)
IMO Polyenetian themselves were engaging in worse, and were being very threatening. I've removed the entire section, semi'd the page, and warned Polyenetian. Bishonen | talk 12:59, 11 November 2016 (UTC).
