[edit] hill committee

All four hill committee articles had redundant and partly incorrect or misleading information. I have created a hill committee article and removed the material not specific to the individual committees from their respective articles. It's actually arguable whether we need separate articles at all, given how similar all four are in structure and function. RadicalSubversiv E

[edit] My removal

This is an encyclopedia article, not a current-events summary. In the scheme of the DSCC and its entire history, the two staffers being suspended seem fairly minor (they should be mentioned at Michael Steele, however). As such, I've removed this--there's no way we'd include a similar incident if it had occurred in 1966. Best wishes, Meelar (talk) 13:07, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

This received national media coverage (i.e. significant, verifiable, etc.) That's the standard for inclusion of information on active politicians and political issues. Generally speaking, much smaller scandals have been getting far more attention in the Wikipedia than this one. patsw 14:18, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Coverage, yes, but where? The incident is significant enough to be mentioned in Steele's article because it was significant in the news coverage concerning him. The DSCC, by contrast, has a long history of political work that predates Steele, and will be around long after Steele is retired. In the context of the DSCC, with all that could be written about it over the course of decades, this incident doesn't rate a mention. JamesMLane t c 06:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dscclogo.png

Image:Dscclogo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:34, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
