In case you really are a new editor, and are not familiar with Wikipedia policies, let me give you a reminder: pejorative comments about living persons require a reliable source. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:41, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
- My apologies, but there do seem to be an amazing number of "grass roots" activists to add information that the Kochs are supporting many "grass roots" activists, which, they, apparently do not support. I can't say which is more likely really "grass roots". — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:00, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
I don't understand why the comments about Fred Koch's important role in the development of Stalin's First Five-Year Plan keep getting sanitized. Aside from the fact that he is no longer living, and I have offered a reputable source for background, the comment got deleted. I notice the comments exonerating him for his role in helping Stalin develop the Soviet oil industry did not get deleted. It seems as though Wikipedia is editorializing a point of view that to the effect that it is ok to help Stalin as long as you criticize him once you've made money off of him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ladyrantsalot (talk • contribs)
- It would only be relevant in an article about Fred, not about David, Charles, or Koch Industries. I also haven't checked your source to see whether it's what we call "reliable" or whether you're summarizing it correctly. Your comment on campaign contributions was wrong, as well as not be notable. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:56, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 02:58, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
