Talk:Aidan Delgado

message: Added an update on biographical data as well as clarifying the statement of the ARMY CID team... hopefully this will help clear up some of the POV issues. Also by the way, it turns out New College is the state honors college of Florida... not a diploma mill as asserted by Sherlock Holmes of the previous post. Kaiser187 12:29, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The New College of Florida (I don't know where you are getting this "New University" stuff) is not a "diploma mill", but rather is by all accounts a first rate public liberal arts college.  New College was recently ranked the #1 Public liberal Arts College in the United States by US News , has a well respected faculty, and is generally considered to be one of the better liberal arts colleges in the South East.--199.94.18.246 04:38, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  My revert 

message: What exactly is disputed in this article?  Its big problem is that it's very vague, but the criticism was the vaguest of all—if specific people have criticized him, who are they?  NPOV requires that we give the views of all sides, but Wikipedia:Verifiability still applies. -- SCZenz 23:54, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What's disputed is what criticism to include. It's related to the lack of citations, but the ongoing (but slow) edit war influenced me to slap up the disputed template. --Davidstrauss 00:03, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's an NPOV dispute.  The issue here is that most of the facts about this guy that aren't criticism are pretty clear statements of fact; likewise, the army concluding his account was wrong is essentially a statemnt of fact, and clearly relevant.  All of these should be cited, but I kind of doubt they're incorrect.  However, some of the criticism has been extremeley vague; no Wikipedia article should say "some of his allegations were called into question by knowledgable people," because either those knowledgeable people can be cited in a reliable source or they can't. Has anyone even tried to provide cited criticism? -- SCZenz 00:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

text: Siiiiiiigh.  Why doesn't anyone try looking up some reliable sources, rather than removing only the facts they don't like?  Are the lot of you going to make me rewrite this article from scratch? -- SCZenz 04:10, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ok, what exactly is disputed? 

message: some POV editor has changed the Abu Ghraib "abuse" to "frat house pranks." reverted this. I think by now, we can all agree that whatever you want to call what happened at Abu Ghraib it is not a "prank." The term "abuse" seems both accurate and reasonably NPOV.

thread_title: List of Iraq War Resisters

message: the article has been stable for some time now... I propose the NPOV tag be removed for now... Kaiser187 09:25, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  propose removing NPOV tag 

message: The article talks about revelations about Abu Ghraib.  As I understand it, the really sensational stuff was his claim to tank drivers deliberately hitting dogs, and soldiers in humvees breaking glass bottles over the heads of passing civilians.  When a few people pointed out the physical impossibility of such actions with the equipment described, this part of the controversy was quietly dropped.
IT STILL BELONGS IN THIS ARTICLE.Aaaronsmith (talk) 19:34, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  We're missing something awfully important 

message: This guy seems to have obtained a pretty high profile as an anti-war veteran.  While lots of people may disagree with his views or question the factuality of his allegations, is whether the man was in some fairly high profile films on the topic of antiwar protests really in question?  The notability tag does NOT seem applicable in this case, IMO.  75.225.71.143 (talk) 12:56, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: *This has nothing to do with his beliefs. His notability is based primarily on being a conscientious objector. There isn't a lot of significant third party coverage by reliable third party sources in this article. In fact, the article has very few sources. If you added more reliable sources, maybe the notability would be more apparent. Additionally, simply appearing in what you call "high profile" films doesn't make him notable. The Godfather was much more high profile, but appearing in it didn't make Frank Macetta notable. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:16, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

text: *And I restored it. Again, he's bordering on one event notability. We don't know to what extent he was covered on the PBS documentary. The NYT "interview" is a short op-ed piece. Everything seems to really center around his one action of becoming a CO. Niteshift36 (talk) 13:34, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
