[edit] Democratic Party

I'm not opposed to large changes to the article (any article, for that matter) as a matter of principle. When making large changes, however, it's usually best to provide at least some explanation on the article's talk page (or, at the very least, an explanatory edit summary). In this case, however, within the last year or so there was an extensive discussion on the origins of the Democratic Party on the talk page (now in the archives of the talk page somewhere). If I'm not mistaken, the explanatory footnote on the party's origin was the result of that discussion, though I'd need to look at the discussion again to be sure. In any event, it might be wise to start up a fresh discussion at the Democratic Party talk page on this point, as it's been awhile. · j e r s y k o talk · 23:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hungarian Revolution of 1956

I reverted your edit of Hungarian Revolution of 1956, since I think it needs a stronger reference to support it. Please add to the discussion on the article's [Talk page]. Regards, Ryanjo 00:52, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Democratic Party POV

I understand that you believe the Democratic Party to be left-of-center. However, I'm telling you that you would learn in any Intro to Political Science class that this is categorically incorrect given the platform of the modern Democratic Party. The problem is that you are defining the "center" as American-exclusive (and so are a few other editors.) In fact, varying degrees of centrism are supposed to refer to the amount of government intervention in regard to economic and civil liberties, as well as the size of the public sector... While I do believe that some members of the Democratic Party ARE indeed center-left, there are nowhere near enough of them to suggest that this is the mainstream ideology of the party. I'm not deleting your edit, because I know that you would just change it back anyway. However, I am going back to the original label of "centrism/center-left" simply due to the fact that there is a large amount of debate over the issue. If you look at the discussions on the talk page, you'll see that a number of people were concerned with the label center-left, because it is a biased term. So I think that if you make it exclusively "center-left" you're going to keep getting a number of complaints. I would really just like to see that people have access to accurate knowledge.

[edit] Vermont

Thanks for your recent changes. A much better article now. It never ceases to amaze me how much an encylopedic article is improved by clearly stating the facts!  :)Student7 23:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
