Richard Aboulafia

I'm not the only editor to quote Richard Aboulafia. He's used as a common source on Av issues in Wikistan. If you think he's a bad source, then please remove him everywhere. Hcobb (talk) 03:10, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
BTW: India is going to starve. I added the ref for that a long while back.

Political positions of Mitt Romney

Hello there. I've reverted a couple of your edits at Political positions of Mitt Romney today, and I thought it might be helpful to let you know why. Based on the material you have inserted, it appears you may not be clear on what sort of subject matter is relevant and appropriate. The subject of the article is Romney's political views, and not about anybody's opinion of those views or whether anybody agrees or disagrees or is able to comprehend them. Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia. Belchfire (talk) 04:18, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

And we need to cover these neutrally. So we do NOT insert what we think his views are. We cover what RSes say his views are. Hcobb (talk) 09:11, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
Precisely. And I should be more clear - the above is purely my own opinion of what should go into the article. There will be editors who disagree, naturally. I've started a discussion about this on the Talk page, please chime in. Belchfire (talk) 09:25, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Your edit on ASBM article

Note:I am a relatively inexperienced editor here so please pardon me if this approach seems a bit passé.
Could you please tell me the reason behind this trim diff?

If it is because I didn't back my claim with a reliable source, then I am happy to give a WP:RS. And if it's something more crucial, then kindly clarify lest I commit the mistake again. Thanks in advance. Mrt3366 (Talk?) 16:25, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

No, I simply removed one sentence that didn't add anything to the flow. The material above it states the general situation and the material below it drills down to specifics. There was no need to restate a higher level view of things in the middle of the flow. Hcobb (talk) 17:28, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
I don't mean to be sticky, but I don't quite understand what you mean by "flow"  . Please elucidate buddy. Mrt3366 (Talk?) 17:36, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Each section in an article should be theoretically human readable and so a human reader ought to be able to read through the section as if it made sense as one text. Hcobb (talk) 18:39, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

What did I add in the wrong section of ASBM? Hcobb (talk) 18:55, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
