ooookay, these links seem mighty suspect, and basically advertising, as far as I can tell, and as such should be deleted. Oh, David Wilhelm, serving the forgotten. What does that have to do with his chairmanship of the DNC??Blondlieut 04:52, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disagreement?

On the NPOV page, it says the "salient point" for whether something violates NPOV "is that one side sc— who cares enough to be making the point — thinks that the article says something that other people would want to disagree with." I don't see anything here that one can disagree with...

I concur. I don't see anything particularly controversial or non-NPOV. Mistamagic28 16:21, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed NPOV issue

I made some edits that balance the concerns you raise. The links to his websites are gone.

[edit] To Editor 24.13.102.3

I must say many of your edits strike me as coming from some sort of axe-grinder. Perhaps you could create an account? I'm especially puzzled by the placement of "The numerous political failures..." clause inside of the politics segment. Why is this relevant? Please explain, and segue it appropriately. I may elect to delete it, barring your elaboration. JGray 21:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I acknowledge the effort, and thank you for it as a great start. However, when I read this paragraph I still think it sounds like Mr. Wilhelm himself (ahem...or someone near him) is trying to deflect criticism that isn't explicitly mentioned. As such it still may be a NPOV/scope issue. After all, couldn't a case be made that 1994 was merely the traditional rebalancing of the Legis. and Exec. branches by a vigilant electorate? I believe the article is more honest for all parties involved, in particular Wilhelm, if everything from "Still..." onward is deleted and the remaining sentence merged into the previous paragraph. This maintains focus and scope on Mr. Wilhelm without tangents to wider inter- and intraparty (read: dicey) considerations. (Side Note: Do you feel the Oct. 3 edit by Hot_L_Baltimore (The Christian/Methodist distinction) [1] is appropriate? I see your 8/22 edit as cleaner.) JGray 08:16, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
