"Criticisms" section edit
Frankly, it was the use of informal language (contractions, specifically) that made this stick out as something somebody pulled out of thin air. Like I said in my edit summary, it's not unreasonable to have such a section in the article, but you must source it. Don't fall asleep zzzzzz 02:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
"Endorsements" edit
"I-1000 has been endorsed by the Seattle Times,[6] the Everett Herald,[7] the Olympian,[8] the Issaquah Press,[9] the Tri-City Herald,[10] and the Lewiston, Idaho Tribune.[11] The Portland Oregonian initially endorsed it in January,[12] but rescinded their endorsement in September.[13]"
None of these newspapers endorsed I-1000. They merely published editorials, these listed happening to be in favor of the proposition. I'm deleting this bit for that reason. Kristamaranatha (talk) 00:04, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- User Kristamaranatha is probably right that they are just editorials and not actual endorsements by the newspapers. Wasn't sure how to treat them however... But I error on adding data and not removing... Wanted to make sure that there was an exact balance of both sides (if that is possible.) I am replacing the clipped section with the old page source code to retain the reference record to the original articles for historical verification. Bdelisle (talk) 03:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
