[edit] Request Information

Request made by: MSTCrow 23:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Where is the issue taking place?: NPR and Talk:National Public Radio

Who's involved?: Myself, Rattboy, Calton, Bkonrad and ceejayoz.

What's going on?: These users are removing sourced information taken from multiple credible sources due to ideological bias, and engaging in something very close to personal attacks. Rattboy has also attempted to disprove my multiply sourced contentions with a single link to an extremely uncredible and partisan source. The information I added is pertinent to the end of the criticisms section in the article, and they seek to remove it on the sole basis it does not put those with their POV in a necessarily positive light, based on the facts currently available.

What would you like to change about that?: Have it made clear that they cannot remove my edits due to ideological bias and seeking to limit the sourced information on the subject present in the article, and for those, if any, who have engaged in personal attacks and rv in bad faith to be processed according to WP.

Would you prefer we work discreetly? If so, how can we reach you?: No.
