thread_title: Rule #3

message: I strongly disagree that these articles should be merged. There has been no discussion in two months and MDS International is in liquidation and no longer exists. I will remove this tag in two days unless a reason is given otherwise. There has been too much erroneous information inserted into this article and the MDSA article.76.109.27.62 12:47, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

text: When was it added or removed from this article? The article has stayed basically unchanged since I finished writing it. I assume then you are talking about the text in MDS America, but none of the sources adequately proved the claims in the text: the broken multichannel News link leads to their homepage (and you confess that the source makes a far weaker claim anyway), the Citizens Against Government Waste is partisan, is barely a reliable source and in any case said nothing about implementation in Ireland, and the Andrew Kreig quote was not clearly directed at MDS America in particular and doesn't belong in the lead. nadav (talk) 12:33, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Citizens Against Government Waste is actually non-partisan. That's in the fourth sentence of their article on Wikipedia. Regarding the news article that is no longer on the Multichannel News web site, what does WIkipedia normally do about that sort of problem? I can't imagine that Wikipedia will last for long if news events can only remain in articles for as long as a publication keeps them on their web site. Bhimaji 17:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Partisan in this case doesn't mean Democrat or Republican: it means that lobbied in favor of one side in the debate, so their writings probably shouldn't be taken at face value without further, more specific supporting evidence.
