Latest edit: POV/heritage
I've removed the POV box, as the overly flattering portions of the article described below appear to have been edited out. As for her ethnicity, Burleigh has written about her Assyrian heritage and Iraqi relatives on numerous occasions; I've added in this bit of information without labeling Burleigh as an Assyrian herself.

Her ethnicity
why isnt anything about her assyrian heritage being mentioned in this text? has it been deleted? 220.237.4.36 18:00, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- apparently, she deleted it herself...read the edit history.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 09:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Neutrality
I reviewed the edit history and someone claiming to be Nina Burleigh has made multiple edits using two different IP addresses. If this really is her, then there is an obvious conflict of interest. Even if it's not her, someone who doesn't know the first thing about WP:NPOV is writing biased sentences like: "Burleigh has continued to expose and respond to conservative hypocrisy in sharply written, nuanced, often humorous political blogs and essays." I changed that sentence already and tried to remove POV material from the article, including an incredibly long list of **all positive** book reviews.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 09:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- nice work.--70.109.223.188 (talk) 15:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
Freeland1 is currently editing the article with poor regard to WP:MOS. I'm trying to reach a consensus on this page first. Freeland1, please comment here first before making edits. Since you appear to be new, I'm trying to help you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by AgnosticPreachersKid (talk • contribs) 06:31, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, since she refuses to come talk on this page, I will. Adding the word 'liberal' is not POV. Read other articles about people like Andrew Sullivan, Ann Coulter, Al Franken, etc. are all labeled as conservative or liberal...as are many other articles. It's not bad to call someone a liberal or conservative...that's the terms that are commonly used.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 07:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Freeland1 has now violated WP:3RR policy. The word liberal (see:[[1]]) is not derogatory or slanderous. It is a political term that is used worldwide. Her views represent the liberal viewpoint, therefore, the term is not POV and deserves to stay in the article.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 07:32, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Also, considering her article has an entire section about her politics, it's pretty fair to label her political beliefs.--AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 07:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Nina editing herself?
It appears Nina Burleigh may be editing the article herself. (red flag #1) - Someone with a user account named Ninabur has edited this article. The only edits made by this user was to this article. (red flag #2) - Alice500 said, "Kindly stop labeling my ethnicity. I have two parents and two sets of genes. Thank you, Nina Burleigh." in an edit summary. All of the edits made by this user have only been to this article. This user made POV edits such as: [2] (red flag #3) - Freeland1's only edits have been to this article. POV edits include only posting positive reviews of books...and I mean a whoooole lot of reviews.[3] Too many for a wikipedia article. So, if this really is Nina editing the article, does she realize Wikipedia policies regarding this? WP:AB, WP:NPOV, and WP:COI. Conflict of interest is something that all journalists know is wrong. I'm going to investigate further. I suspect a sock puppet (WP:SOCK) because of the type of edits and the fact all three accounts have only edited this one article. If it is her editing, won't that make for some interesting gossip in the blogosphere? --AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 17:19, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- It's quite obvious. The lack of birthdate is glaring. How many tree rings is she hiding exactly?
