Talk:Paul Wolfowitz/Archive 2

message: [Note someone posted in article for consideration]
#  "Finally, he will offer unusual energy and optimism. Mr Wolfowitz is not a cynic about outside financial backing for developing nations. In the right circumstances, he believes it can be transforming. For that reason, perhaps, despite a caricature as a "right-wing hawk", he has not ceased being a registered Democrat. The World Bank needs a man who can think unconventionally. Mr Wolfowitz is that person." *See also Talk: Paul Wolfowitz

message: Has anyone actually read the book "The Brain" ? I can find it at amazon.com but there it says that it won't be released until 2007! [Martin]
I can find no reference to this book in the British Library Catalogue so I have deleted it. Mutt 00:55, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Will someone try to fix the punctuation around all the quotations?
 "I am" Bob said "a human."
should be
 "I am," Bob said, "a human."
etc. Hopefully someone else will fix this so I won't have to, because there are a lot of quotes.—Preceding unsigned comment added by J. Finkelstein (talk • contribs)

message: ===Israeli-Palestinian conflict===    
Despite his support for Israel Wolfowitz is one of the few neoconservatives associated with Bush administration to have endorsed the creation of a Palestinian state. Wolfowitz has acknowledged the sufferings of the Palestinian people in their conflict with Israel, and in 2002 was heckled for expressing such views at a pro-Israel rally.

replies: text: Oops sorry I should have explained that I have placed a paragraph about the National Solidarity Rally for Israel under the U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense section. I felt it appropriate therefore to remove it from the Political Views section as I believed that the duplication was unnecessary and the conclusions it gave were taken out of context. Have a look and see if you agree. Mutt 18:22, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: NPOV

message: Kudos for removing the NPOV status.  At length the article casts Wolfowitz as a hypocrite and as an enabler in Suharto's plundering of his own nation.  The article is clearly not neutral.  On the contrary, the few statements in defense of Wolfowitz are followed by much lengthier  condemning quotes containing the opinion of a few people.  Although these are presented as opinion, the preponderance of the same type of information clearly evinces the agenda of those contributing to the article.  Would that instead of a little green checkmark, the article were labeled with a stopsign.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Hectard (talk • contribs) 14:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Is the whole article not NPOV?  Or just the Ambassador to the Republic of Indonesia section?  I would be in favor of removing "peanut gallery" statements in favor of well-considered critiques.  Thanks, GChriss 13:21, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

message: the caption for the last picture in the article reads: "Paul Wolfowitz stands far right".  Seemingly referring to his politics, i chuckled as i realised it was referring to where he stood in the picture itself.  lol wiki, nice one. Roidroid 02:14, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Unintential Political Joke?

message: I deleted the following from the tail end of the Media Portrayals section:
:With its post-modern collage techniques of mixing lectures, policy papers and diary entries with traditional narrative, Homeland provides a uniquely entertaining way of acquiring a detailed, thoroughly well-researched and factual account of US history from Jimmy Carter's presidency to that of George W. Bush.
This has little to do with Wolfowitz. The whole paragraph about Paul William Roberts' book may be insufficiently NPOV, but I'm content with moving the most glaringly biased sentence here in case someone wants to do something with it.  Lowerarchy 00:27, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
