Talk:Riverbend (blogger)

message: If nothing in this article is verifiable, why does it exist?
I took the liberty of deleting the POV and accuracy tags -- GRider, if you're too lazy to engage, you ought not to be cluttering articles with extraneous tags. --Calton | Talk 00:21, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I removed the quote asking why Americans don't just go home.  This is not an good summary of the blogs' view. Leaving this quote as one of the 4 to 5 summary quotes gives a more thoughtless or angry portrayal then the blog actually is. Here is the edit  http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Riverbend_%28blogger%29&diff=135024820&oldid=135021591

message: WHERE is River?  Her last post was August 5, 2006. It is now October 12....She has been posting for years and this is the longest length of time WITHOUT any words from her.....I'm worried.--Mosquito at mosquito-blog (blogspot.com)
:That's a good question. It's interesting that the last words on her most recent post were "I sometimes wonder if we’ll ever know just how many hundreds of thousands of Iraqis left the country this bleak summer. I wonder how many of them will actually return. Where will they go? What will they do with themselves? Is it time to follow? Is it time to wash our hands of the country and try to find a stable life somewhere else?" Did RiverBend leave the country? --Lee Hunter 15:24, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Was there not a mention left on the talk page?  How is any of this information verifiable?  Other than a first-person link to a weblog, what references are cited?  What is an example of her "elegant, near-perfect, English"?  In its current state, how is the entire article not speculative, unreferenced POV?  --GRider\talk 17:48, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: Do you know the meaning of Wikipedia:Verifiability?  How about Wikipedia:No original research?  All articles must be based on objective, verifiable information; this is not.  How are fellow Wikipedians able to verify what is written in this article is accurate?  If you can't give a print source for the information contributed, it should be removed.  --GRider\talk 02:31, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I've removed the suggestion that Riverbend is not an Iraqi. Frankly, it's just a stupid idea. If someone says they are Iraqi and writes pages and pages of exquisitely detailed and accurate information about their life in Iraq can we not assume that the chances are pretty good that they might actually be an Iraqi. I don't see any reason to even raise any other possibility unless there's  evidence to the contrary. And no, having good English skills doesn't count. Everything in the article as it is now, can be verified simply by going to the site and reading what's there. . --Lee Hunter 03:02, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed doubts

message: Until sources are cited that obviate the need for ambiguity, I propose that the details concerning Riverbend's education be removed. I have made the change and would be happy to discuss possible rewordings.--RFenno 17:18, 17 July 2005 (UTC)
