This incident was distributed by the Associated Press during the Winter Olympics in 2010 and it deserves a historical note. Tallmat (talk) 07:32, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Comments from Wasted Time R were considered but this is extremely well cited. Mitt Romney's public life included this incident, which was produced in be communications on the internet by LMFAO. It was a production of public discourse, involving Mitt Romney, beyond his volitional sovereignty. This is not a political profile, but rather a living biography. It is a relevant note in his interactions in public life and should be in some main content part of his living biography. I have already edited the text to be balanced between points-of-view, but feel free to tweak this; it should remain nonetheless in some form on his page.

disagree

As an uninvolved editor, I must disagree. I think it should be on the public image article, and not on the main article. I cannot see any reason why this incident is so special that it requires a special mention on the main article. Spalds (talk) 14:19, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

In making that judgement of relevancy there is a universalizing perspective of what is, and is not relevant in Mitt Romney's life that some of you are debating. This was Mitt Romney's first confrontation with a public artist involving law enforcement, and where the artist actually responded with several videos online. The information is well cited and in relation to his public image and perhaps this information has circulated more in relation to international news, and rap and black communities than the American public at large. It is important for Wiki communities avoid developing biographies as political platforms in the disparate public discourses of Mitt Romney- hence the section "Public Image" is appropriate.

I've moved this discussion to Talk:Mitt Romney#Sky Blu incident inclusion, where it belongs. Wasted Time R (talk) 01:15, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Giorgio Mammoliti edit on Toronto Gay Pride Festival and Queer Against Israeli Apartheid

There was a little detail that was missing on Giorgio Mammoliti profile that I added for posterity and that was a historical pointer to the motive cause of dropping out of the 2010 race. The video posted on Youtube, was posted July 2, only three days before he dropped out of the race. 96.49.141.166 (talk) 11:06, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
