Really.  Enlighten me, what is the difference? Hercus
On a related note, I think there should be something in this intro that actually defines what kind of organization the DNC is, legally. For example "a 501(c)X non-profit registered in State Y." I would add that but I can't find the info anywhere. RG (talk) 02:42, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  50% of fundraising by jews 

message: Well, I took this directly from the democratic party wikipedia page to add a little bit more information. I hope that doesnt violate any rules. If it does, we can take it out. However, I think it fits rather nicely and will work to expand it. SOMEone took out the page of controversies which I think was a good move. It was taking up most of the page and I dont think it was very encyclopedic. Maybe if the page gets fleshed out a bit more than we can put some of it back in. Until then I vote to keep it out.

thread_title:  New Content/deletion 

message: Why not Christians or Hindus?
This information is completely unsourced and irrelevant. "Sources within the democratic party" is the authors opinion at best.The paper cited is an editorial in a weekly. The Jew text was lifted directly from this article without attribution and the second article you listed does not have modern reference to Jewish contributions to the Democratic party. I believe you are trying to cite the footnotes where it talks about Ford and Carter. Neither article has factual information to support your claim. Also, this will not go into the article until relevance is established. 
Text:
Sources within the Democratic Party estimate that contributions from Jews make up 50 percent of the donations the party receives from individuals each election cycle. The party does not admit publicly that it tracks donations via religion or ethnicity.,

thread_title:  Why are the Jews important in this context? NNPOV 

message: I dont think this article is long enough to have a controversy section such as this. How about a seperate (sic) article with this info...there seems to be enough relevant information to do that. I think this section is far too long and does not belong in this article especially considering the small size and lack of in-depth information on the DNC itself. So what do you think? Disagreement?
Here is the text:
=== 1996 campaign fund-raising controversy ===
In late September 1996, questions arose regarding the Democratic Party's fund-raising practices. In February of the following year, the People's Republic of China's alleged role in the controversy first gained public attention after Republican media figure Bob Woodward's Washington Post published a story stating that an investigation by the Democratic Party-controlled Department of Justice had discovered evidence that agents of China sought to direct contributions from foreign sources to the DNC before the 1996 presidential campaign. The paper wrote that intelligence information had shown the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C. was used for coordinating contributions to the DNCWoodward, Bob and Duffy, Brian, "Chinese Embassy Role In Contributions Probed", Washington Post, Feb. 13, 1997
 in violation of U.S. law forbidding non-American citizens from giving monetary donations to U.S. politicians and political parties. DNC fund-raisers John Huang, Charlie Trie, James Riady, and Johnny Chung, were convicted for fraud or for funneling Asian funds into the U.S. elections.
In 2002, the Federal Election Commission fined the Democratic National Committee $115,000 for its part in illegal fund-raising during the 1996 U.S. election campaigns. The FEC's general counsel recommended more severe penalties, but the three Democratic election commissioners on the committee blocked the recommendation on a 3-3 tie vote."DNC fined for illegal 1996 fund raising", CNN.com, Sept. 23, 2002

text: There is nothing to discuss because there is no logical reason given for the removal of this paragraph. If the article is "too short" in your opinion then you should lengthen it, not shorten it even more. Where is the precedent or rule at Wikipedia that says if an article is short you should remove any negative, documented history from the article? The logic is absurd. I can very well say the article is too short for a section on recent fundraising and just decide to remove that. What compromise are you looking for? I readded a link to the article and a very brief paragraph and apparently that is too much for you and that ideologue "Derex". You removed the item, YOU need to give a logical explaination for your actions. The article is too short doesn't cut it. --Jayzel 02:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

He is clearly a stealth idealogue who has no intention of making constructive edits. His only goal appears to be stalking other constructive editors.
As for your statement that I am placing a "relatively long 1996 fundraising scandal section" into this article: Hogwash. A short two sentence paragraph with a link to the main article is not a long section. Wikipedia rules clearly state we are to link relevant articles to eachother. As the DNC was fined for illegal fundraising and many of its fundraiser were convicted of crimes, this page is the most relevant page to link my article to. An article, by the way, that has FEATURED STATUS and has been showcased on Wikipedia's main page. I am putting the info back into the article where it belongs. I am not waiting months for some imaginary discussion to take place here. No one reads talk pages and the few that would actually stop by will be partisans.

Jayzel, this is an official administrator warning. I urgently request you to moderate your combative tone and desist with the personal attacks on this page. Please review Wikipedia's policy against personal attacks, WP:NPA. The essence of that policy is comment on content, not on the contributor. Feel free to criticize people's edits (civilly); don't criticize editors personally, and don't call names. Frankly, I hardly see a single post by you above that isn't unacceptably aggressive. To launch attacks like  "pathetic excuse for censorship"  as your very first response to a polite request for your opinion about removal of material poisons the climate of the page and makes collegial editing and consensus that much harder to achieve.

It's not our job as Wikipedia editors to say to the DNC or anyone else, "Thou has sinned and thou shalt pay the price by being exposed on these pages."  Our job is to give the readers an encyclopedia article about the DNC.  A reader who comes to this article wants to know the basics about the article subject.  That some employee, without authorization and against DCCC policy, used a DCCC computer to make a few objectionable edits to Wikipedia isn't an important item of information about the DCCC or the DNC.  Suppose an employee of Corporation X used a company computer to post an obscene Photoshopped image of another employee.  Should that be mentioned in the article on Company X?  No, because it's just not very important information about that company.  JamesMLane t c 23:46, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Later the same day, Wasserman Schultz resigned from her position as DNC Chairman .... On the following day, the DNC apologized to Bernie Sanders, his supporters, and the Democratic Party "for inexcusable remarks made over email."
If 1. a complaint is made of an entity, 2. then the entity makes corrective action, 3. and then the entity apologizes regarding the complaint; then I would consider this to be a validation of the complaint. Therefore a more specific and correct statement in this summary article would be:
> The Committee favored the contender and 2016 nominee Hillary Clinton and acted in support of her nomination.

thread_title:  DNC hack section is unnecessarily bland 

message: These are basic questions that an encyclopedia article should answer. How are all the members of the DNC chosen? E.g., if there are 447 members who can vote for the Chair, how are these 447 chosen? Who are they, currently? If each state sends its chair and vice-chair, that accounts for only 100 members. How were the others chosen, and who are they? This information is sorely needed for this article. Benefac (talk) 21:42, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  How are DNC voting-members selected? Who are they, currently? 

message: As no major news outlets or other sources widely regarded as credible sources outside of the involved parties have been covering the mater, the only documents currently available to the public regarding the class action lawsuit are the court documents themselves. At some point in the future, if or when further hearings are held and more information is made available, a sub-section under controversies will be made to objectively communicate the facts of the case.--216.18.241.51 (talk) 20:07, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Seen the way this is written, and as you say that there is hardly any independent coverage of this material, I have serious WP:BLP/WP:NPOV issues with this information.  I would suggest that this is first thoroughly discussed before it is added to mainspace.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 07:29, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Here are sources I found that cover the lawsuit: Washington Examiner, The Observer, Fox News, RT, Newsweek. I think it should be reworded and re-added to the article with some of these sources that demonstrate notability.Terrorist96 (talk) 01:41, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you Dirk Beetstra and Terrorist96 for the helpful information on this topic. Looking at the edit history further, it looks like other people have added unnecessary and information with heavy bias leanings. The initial information simply read:  On June 28, 2016 a class action fraud and consumer lawsuit was filed against the DNC and former chair person Debbie Wasserman Schultz seeking punitive damages for counts of fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unlawful trade practices, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, and negligence.  Which I feel is simple, to the point, accurate, and an unbiased report of public facts using the exact wording from the court documents describing the scope of the lawsuit. However, this isn't really enough information to make a section out of presently.199.192.183.1 (talk) 22:25, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
