Talk:Dean Barker (sailor)

message: * ..that is not the point whether it is Barker or Dalton who directly works for funding. 
:: No, the point here is that Wikipedia is a factual encyclopedia. If there is a proof point that Barker put proposals to the NZ Government for interim funding to keep the team together then fantastic please include in the article.  If there is a proof point that Barker met Ms Clarke in the pub with tears in his eyes and went on bended knee to ask for some money to get over a cash crisis then great include it in the article.  If there is a proof point that it was Dalton then fantastic and please start and include in a Grant Dalton article.  If the NZ goverment did it unprompted then fantastic, lets include. The point is Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia of facts.Boatman 11:44, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Wikepedia requires facts with proof points. eg One year Barker did not qualify for the Olypmics - FACT from published results of the trials.  eg Another time Barker did qualify for the Olympic Games - FACT from the ISAF.  Barker went cap in hand for more money - where is the proof point and then include in the article. I am totally neutral re Barker, I have never met him, never heard him speak or interviewed and not knowingly read anything that he has written.  Boatman 11:44, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

text:  The English press would react extremely badly, the Scottish press would jump for joy, I would go down to the pub with my mates and bad mouth most of the team and the manager (this all happens far too often nowadays!) but Wikipedia is an unemotional encyclopedia and would record the facts.
