[edit] Removal of POV editorializing

'Nuff said as to why; there are other reviews on other issues that should also be included, and even in this case only one viewpoint/critique was placed; clearly a POV diatribe and unsuitable unless a wide range of issues and viewpoints is presented; i.e. a summary of Glavin's politics, with POV criticism built into the additions (as was the case here)Skookum1 21:31, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Glavin on the Middle East

While I don't see the reaction to Glavin's Georgia Straight column irrelevant, I think it wrong to single out one voice, particularly that of someone best known as "a Vancouver-area teacher of media and communications" and not necessarily better known than his other detractors.

True, Terry Glavin is among the 670 articles currently featured on my watchlist, but as these all deal with Canadian writers it should come as no surprise. Of the 2000 or so edits I have made on Wikipedia, four concern this article. I will also point out that my recent edit to this article was the first since August 19, after which six other edits were made by other users. Quite obviously, I am not monitoring this page. I can assure 66.183.115.150 that I have no personal relationship with Glavin and will do the user the courtesy of assuming the same. I encourage discussion as to why an uncited quotation by Juergen Dankwort is essential to this article. Victoriagirl 02:34, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NPOV

I've just reverted an edit referring to two recent Glavin articles. The sentence in question - "In April and May 2007, his articles smearing the anti-war movement appeared in two newspapers owned by CanWest Global, the Ottawa Citizen and Vancouver Sun." - appears to run against Wikipeidia's WP:NPOV policy. That said, I believe the articles in question may be relevant to the entry. As it stood, the statement appeared biased and vague (which articles? when were they published?).
