    [edit] Capitol Blue Link

    The fact that a link is POV is not, in itself, grounds to remove. If the link contained false information, or were a paid advertisement or something, that would be different. As it is the link appears to contain valuable source information. Ellsworth 03:29, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

    Surely, if the information is valuable, some other source could be found that wasn't so obviously POV?--Cuchullain 06:31, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

    Of course, and once that source is found then it can be cited in lieu of the other, perhaps moving the less-POV link to the Talk page for purpose of preserving the article history. Ellsworth 20:07, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

    [edit] Spy Prank

    So when Congresswoman Brown's own hometown newspaper acknowledges that Ms. Brown fell for Spy's well-known Freedonia prank, it isn't good enough resourcing for Wikipedia? Tsk Tsk. That's not editing, that's censorship. How fortunate for Ms. Brown that the Spy article isn't online or you'd have to let her shine in her own glory. 05:02, 14 November 2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.145.254.109 (talk • contribs)

    WP:RS and WP:V do not require a source to be online in order for it to be used to support text in a wikipedia article. On the other hand, WP:BLP puts special requirements on the inclusion of any negative information about a living person. John Broughton | Talk 17:23, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
    The source you gave was not an article, it was an editorial. This is not a particularly reliable source. On top of this, the prank is years old and not particularly encyclopic or important. Including it would give undue weight to a mundane incident. --Cúchullain t/c 22:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
    Sorry but a hometown newspaper IS a reliable source. The existence of the prank is a fact stated within an editorial, not an opinion. You do understand the difference, right? Just like your decision that the prank is "old" is fact, while that it is "not important" is merely your opinion. 01:29, 15 November 2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.161.63.27 (talk • contribs)

    [edit] Soroity Affiliation

    I'm confused...Ms Brown is listed as a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., but has a link in the friends of Sigma Gamma Rho page. I'm looking for clarity and confirmation. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.150.0.1 (talk) 17:36, 8 March 2007 (UTC).
