We re done with considering whether or not to add to the article allegations that Obama is close to William Ayers what Stephanopoulos few questions seems to refer to We decided not to add it Otolemur crassicaudatus asks a well meaning but somewhat off the subject question why don t we have any criticism about Obama in his biography The answer is threefold first we do second the article as it now exists reflects the participation over a long period of a lot of editors who have collectively edited the article in incremental fashion and third when editing we have engaged in the encyclopedic practice of considering each fact on its own merits for whether it is verifiable on topic neutrally presented of appropriate weight and so on we don t decide on a particular level of positive or negative bias to show the article subject then adjust the prose to match An editor asking a good faith question like that is entitled to a straight answer not to be told that there is some machine that is supposedly running Wikipedia
