Talk:Conrad Burns

message: I removed this paragraph from the article:
"A voice for the farmer": Burns has been an true advocate of the agricultural community in Montana. Given the fact that over 64% of Montana is used for farming or ranching, Burns has worked hard to secure federal funds to aid cultivation. He has also done his part in supporting the trade imbalance that harms many ranchers and farmers.

replies: text: Why? Hyacinth 17:29, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The heading contradicts the attempt at "balance" present in the paragraph, which reads to me more like unmitigated and unsubstantiated presentation of two POVs rather than NPOV. Ground 18:17, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: NPOV actually "doesn't assume that it's possible to write an article from a single, unbiased, objective point of view. The policy says that we should fairly represent all sides of a dispute" (Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Introduction). Hyacinth 01:07, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: However, I don't see any factual representation included with either statement. IMO that is necessary (which is why I don't have an issue with "A controversial speaker"). Ground 03:29, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: Hopefully politicians will see that they are only blackening their own eyes by editing their Wikipedia entries.  People can see custom-crafted biographies that portray their subjects as saints on any politician's web site; the Wikipedia and the public are ill-served with such tripe.  Shame on you Conrad.

thread_title:  Blackening his own eye? 

message: This keeps happening.  I guess the people in congress have gotten wind of Wikipedia.  We should just perminantly IP ban them, or at least prevent them from making edits. (and keep a watch on changes made to profile pages of Senators and Congressmen) Klosterdev 06:13, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

message: (Note:  there seems be be consensus that the following information, which was part of the main article, doesn't belong there - it's really not about Burns per se.  [see next section, below] I am posting it here so that it is available to those interested, and is better preserved (to the extent that Wikipedia information can be, or already isn't, preserved).

thread_title:  Wikinews article

message: Regarding the edits of various put in the racial controversies, maybe putting them under one section would be better than having them scattered throughout the article? The 1999 incident and the 2006 indictent in one section? Arbusto 18:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link all the racial controversies? 

message: It is important to state the current state of events, not what will happen soon. As such, the Senator is still in office, and has not been succeeded yet. Stealthound 20:54, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That is correct. His term does not end until the new Congress is sworn in, scheduled for January 3, 2007. -Will Beback 23:04, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Infoboxes

message: Please consult this source before changing the "Succeeded by" sections of the article. This is the official position of wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, predicting what will happen in the future. As the Senator is still in office, the article should be left as it is.
