thread_title: Notice of topic-ban for user Jimmy McDaniels

message: I have attempted to rewrite the Air force training material to be a bit more neutral and encyclopedic and less breathless.  Its worth noting that, although i credit Leopold with writing the original article , the article itself does not list Leopold as the author.  I have emailed truthout to find out what the story is, and will update this article if need be. Bonewah (talk) 22:10, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good, might want to keep in mind that the editor who originally added the material is topic banned from this article (see above). Arkon (talk) 22:36, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

text: Looks like a glitch in their blog software. Good job rewriting. Though the editor who added it is topic-banned and should have put a request to add it on the talk page, it appears to be a significant article and should certainly be neutrally reported in the article on the subject.

thread_title:  Air force religious training material 

message: I've looked at the references for these, and there don't seem to be any "awards" involved. These appear to be simply "Top 25" stories of the year lists, not awards. To get some idea of the importance of these "awards", they should be reported by a third-party source, not the source supposedly presenting the "award". Calling these "awards" does not appear to be objective or factual, but simply someone trying to build up the subject. Yworo (talk) 20:34, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: So it's stories that get the awards, not people. Whatever the situation, for it to be called an "award" on Wikipedia, the source cited has to call it an "award" and specify who received the award. If rather it is simply a "top 25" story, then it should be listed as a "top 25" story and the subject's article should be the earliest.... breaking a story is one thing, jumping on the bandwagon after another journalist broke the story is something else entirely. If other Wikipedia articles misrepresent  a "top 25" story of the year as an "award" then those articles should also be fixed. I do believe Project Censored does bestow some awards; I don't believe everyone mentioned as connected with a "top 25" story can be assumed to have "received an award" for it.

thread_title:  Project Censored "awards" 

message: The article currently states that Leopold is the 'US correspondent' for 95bFM in New Zealand.  According to that station's website, 95bFM is a college radio station, and i can find no mention of Leopold anywhere on their site.  The only reference to Leopold being their correspondent is from 'the public record' here.  Im not entirely sure that the claim being made here is true, and, even if true, it is noteworthy.  I propose removing the whole sentence. Bonewah (talk) 21:27, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Correspondent for 95bFM? 

message: First off, your claim that it was removed without explanation is false. It was clearly explained that it was removed under the "banned user" policy. The editor who removed it believes you are a sockpuppet of , who is banned from editing this article. Any editor may remove content they believe is being added by a banned user. I also believe you are a banned user, based on the IP address that you also use when you forget to log in. So, you are allowed to post suggestions for changes on this talk page, but you are not allowed to edit the article yourself. Clear? If you have a problem with this, follow the instructions given you in your dispute resolution request. Yworo (talk) 17:49, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Where did that come from? Why would I be a banned user? And so just cuz someone believes something makes it true? How would my IP address come up as banned? Where was it banned? I added new stuff and would think other people who want to add new stuff to. So why wouldn't anyone want the new stuff on an article? I dont' get it. I'll follow the instructions about the resolution.RavenThePackIsBack (talk) 18:01, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Because your behavior is similar and the IP appears to be located in the same geographic area and Class B subnet of the same ISP as the banned user. You can find the complete history leading to the ban here. Even if you aren't the banned user, if you are editing on behalf of either Jason Leopold or Jimmy McDaniels, you may be treated as if you are the banned user. Yworo (talk) 18:08, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: So it's cuz I live in Hollywood? Well, then what do I do? Is there someone who can talk to me? All, I'm saying is that there's some stuff that's new I think it should be included. Like on the Whitey Bulger page. There's some stuff they totally didn't include but it's pretty new. Like a link for example that was missing and I put that in. And the neighbors who lived in Santa Monica there's a lot missing from there. Anyway, can you let me know? RavenThePackIsBack (talk) 18:14, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you can do exactly what you just did, post your proposal on this talk page and wait for the regular editors to discuss it. I'd give it about a week for discussion if I were you. There is no hurry. Yworo (talk) 18:18, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: By the way, the ban is a topic ban, it applies only to this article, Truthout, and closely related subjects. I suggest you go edit some completely unrelated articles for a while. Yworo (talk) 18:21, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

text: also, is there any feedback on the new stuff? RavenThePackIsBack (talk) 18:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: While neither site has any announcements about it, truthout no longer has his name on their roster and Al Jazeera has stories from him.  It would be nice if we had something a bit more reliable. Bonewah (talk) 20:08, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: He was one of the two reporters who wrote an article on BuzzFeed  "claiming that Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about the Trump Tower Moscow project."
(https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/why-the-buzzfeed-story-on-trump-tower-moscow-is-different)   If this story is accurate, it is a significant achievement; if it is incorrect, it is a significant black mark for the reporter.  Once the dust clears, this report needs to be included in our article. 146.0.62.30 (talk) 14:00, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cohen and Trump 

message: The exclusion of controversy puts this article in violation of WP:NPOV and WP:BLPSTYLE. The controversies are well known/documented, so immediately readers are going to wonder about Wikipedia's reliability when viewing this article, which reads more like a fan-site. Disclaimer: Jason was an online buddy of mine years back, and agreed to help editors at the BP article by proofreading my suggestion for our BP oil spill coverage. This might be considered a COI, but I do believe if I had the time, I could pen a neutral controversy section here. However, I do not have the time, so have resorted to tagging the article for now.  petrarchan47คุก 23:56, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with the claim that we are excluding controversy, we cover both his high profile 'controviersies', the salon article about the Tom White email and the sourceless Karl Rove indictment claim.  The accusations of plagarism from Salon and FT are in the Salon section, we could expand that or any of the other sections, feel free.  There is brief mention of his FOIA work, nothing too extensive, that could be expanded too. Ive held off on the latest Buzzfeed thing so that details can come out, but if you are wanting to add that, again, you are free to, i have no objections per se. Bonewah (talk) 14:41, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, very good, thanks. Per WP:LEDE, high profile controversies mentioned in the article need to be summarized as well in the Lede. Right now there is nothing. I'll try to find some time unless others get to it.  petrarchan47คุก 21:00, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

text: I see nothing in that article that would add anything to this bio.  If you have any other sources you think will help with balance, please link them here for consideration.  Thanks. Bonewah (talk) 13:52, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV tag 

message: This is one of the most biased, negative articles on a journalist focusing so heavily on ancient issues and fails to include any of the high profile work Leopold did over the past decade, including all of the major FOIA work like Hillary Clinton's emails, all the Mueller documents . This reads like someone has a vendetta against the journalist. 2600:1012:B016:BFF1:4E6:3061:C2C6:5C1 (talk) 05:26, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: What specifically do you feel should be added? The Hillary Clinton emails are mentioned in both the lede and as its own section. What Mueller documents do you think are relevant?  Inlcude links to reliable third party sources as well. Bonewah (talk) 15:49, 24 January 2022 (UTC)
