[edit] David H. Safavian

Not sure why his article had been copied onto this one. I've removed it, since no explanation of how it applied to Bunny Greenhouse was supplied. --Habap 21:07, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Safavian was a federal procurement official that resigned. Thus far, I see no direct connection between the two. Certainly, both we federal procurement officials. Safavian resigned, Greenhouse got demoted. I don't know whether they have ever met, let alone anything that relates the two other than that they were forced to leave similar jobs around the same time. It would be like including a paragraph on Mars at the end of an article on Venus, because Mars is also a planet in our solar system. --Habap 17:19, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

Darkstar contends that Safavian was Greenhouse's de facto boss. If this is the case, he needs to supply information that verifies it. --Habap 17:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

There is a much larger article on David Safavian to which I have redirected the David H. Safavian stub. Right now it doesn't mention anything on Bunny Greenhouse, either. I'll be doing some research on the subject tonight after I finish my homework in the hopes of helping resolve this dispute. Jacqui ^{★ 22:35, 3 November 2005 (UTC)}

Okay, actually I did find something small right now, though I really am doing my homework now. (Hold me to it, guys.) This is an article reprinted from the New York Times (it's roped-off to non-subscribers at the NYT site, I think) that seems to be making the same comparison that Darkstar seemed to want to draw, though there is no mention of Safavian being Greenhouse's boss. It may come in handy later. Jacqui ^{★ 22:39, 3 November 2005 (UTC)}

Nice find. Note, however, that the link does not actually point to the NYT. I am not entirely certain that the op-ed piece ever actually appeared in the Times, since it isn't on their site. A website labelled topplebush.com may not be the first place to trust for NPOV. Interesting reading, nonetheless. If it really is from the Times, I'm pretty surprised at the length and the style. Of course, that it is an op-ed piece is not quite the same as if it were a news item.... --Habap 23:24, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

A simple link on the red-font "New York Times" on that site links to the article on the NYT space, which, like I said, is roped off to non-customers. But it's there. You can see the headline, author's name and a little bit more. But yes, it's an op-ed. Still sourceable, though. Jacqui ^{★ 04:39, 4 November 2005 (UTC)}

Ooops! Missed that. I've done a strikethru above to remove my uncertainty. --Habap 20:03, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm still unsure of what Darkstar1st wants us to do with the information though. Perhaps s/he will come back...? Jacqui ^{★ 23:33, 4 November 2005 (UTC)}
