User Tdl1060 has deleted information about Illinois State Bill Mitchell's August 29, 2003 DUI arrest. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Mjv111 (talk • contribs)

In answer to your question, I removed the information on Bill Mitchell (politician) earlier because you had not cited sources. --Tdl1060 17:59, 26 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please discuss the issue on the talk page rather than engaging in edit war? — goethean ॐ 16:05, 27 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't remove tags without either sourcing the article better or discussing on the Talk Page.--Isotope23 12:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This was a non-notable biography as per the criteria set out in WP:BIO. (aeropagitica) 21:15, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TPM as a source

You were probably right to remove that, but IMO for the wrong reason (namely, that it was superfluous to the article ... the earlier effusion is all that matters, and it came direct from the source). Per this discussion, I tend to feel that TPM, which is run somewhat like a regular media outlet by a a notable individual whose work has been published elsewhere before his blogging, and which regularly cites its other sources, can be considered reliable.

Tdl1060, seeing how this is your first post to Talk before repeatedly deleting revelant information pertaining to several politicians from Northeast Tennessee and their ties to prominent pharmaceutical businesses (e.g. King and Leitner Pharma, or SJ Strategic Investments) located within their own counties (i.e.: Sullivan County) and districts (1st U.S. House of Representatives District, Tennessee) , I would be glad to discuss the issue with someone from Illinois as you appear to be.

While your user page indicates that you take some pride in having "...over a ton of edits", I think that your hacking through the section "Political connection to Altace, pharmaceutical industry" the wikipages for Ron Ramsey et al is completely unwarrented. You might have noticed that these individuals are politicians and that the materials that you repeatedly removed from their individual pages provided the details of those stated specific connections to both Altace and the repsective pharma businesses.

And while you are suggesting that you cuts would be better suited at pharma pages, you neglected to make the good-faith editing step by seeing that the information and references that you had repeatedly deleted were actually posted to those pages that you suggested while making your edits.

I do not believe that your repeated edits at these pages can be attributed to any action other than vandalism.

That's fine that the info is already on the articles on the pharmaceuticals but if the readers want to see more backround on them all the need to do is click on the links. Wikipedia can't have the backround of every issue or company exhaustively layed out on an article in which it may be mentioned, that's what internal links are for.--Tdl1060 19:02, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And four paragraphs of material constitutes a "exhaustively layed out" issue background by Wiki standards? Prove it...4.129.65.207 19:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stay on the above clown who wants to link the entire history of King Pharma and Altace to anyone who has ever received a political contribution from them. Bet that he is the sort of guy who would just flip if anyone linked Kenneth Lay to Bill or Hillary Clinton, even though he spent the night in the Lincoln Bedroom while he/she/they were President. 68.53.110.123 22:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why the changes to the Jim Whitehead entry?

I am his son-in-law. The text of the bio came directly from Joel McElhannon, his campaign manager. It looks like you left out a lot of information. I'm trying to thumb through the differences. We would appreciate the original text and picture being put back the way it was. If there is some copyright violation we have invoked, please point it out.
