Talk:Mike Gravel 2008 presidential campaign

message: Sen. Gravel was the first presidential candidate to have an official HQ set up in the virtual world of Second Life. This was a historic first, and should probably be worked in, if possible.

thread_title: Political Views of Mike Gravel

message: Judging by the non-American English littering this article about an American politician, it seems that his campaign had garnered a lot of support from people who don't matter in the election.  That's a sure sign of failure.  24.113.177.5 00:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

message: This editor is now a banned user, and he made some non-neutral edits to this article.  Since there have been meaningful edits since then, "undo" won't work. YechielMan 06:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like there was only one significant set of edits after his edits so I've incorporated that.  Oddly, the section that was added was added to a section he had created so I had to find a way to add it in else where.  Metros 13:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

message: One thing that strikes me when reading this page is that the timelines are backwards, starting from the most recent, through to the oldest, making it difficult to read to gain an overall idea of the whole campaign.  If no one has any objections, I'd like to re order the sections in chronological order to bring it into line with most of the other presidential campaign pages.

thread_title: Time line of primaries, caucuses and debates

message: This is not allowed on Wikipedia. Look at the description of Gravel's positions- they are unambiguously supportive of Gravel's positions. They are written as though Gravel wrote them. This needs to be corrected.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.22.84.93 (talk) 23:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct.  The Gravel articles were all written by Gravel enthusiasts.  I have done lots of work on the main article to remedy this, but not much on this article.  So feel free to fix the problems here.  Wasted Time R (talk) 00:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right. Then again, without this schlock, there's not much else to say. He isn't getting votes, isn't campaigning and is so anonymous that the national polls don't even mention him. Niteshift36 (talk) 01:20, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
