Talk:Mark R. Dybul

message: I suspect the changes on this page highlight the intensity of reactions to Dr. Dybul. I think in situations like this it is important to stick to Wikipedia standards -- not that I can say I know them all that well myself -- and try to be as straight-shooting as possible in reverts/additions and edits. 
For example, I think it was unfair to brand the last edits as 'vandalism' although they certainly did take out all of the heart of this article that made it interesting. 
I'm not a big-time editor here, however, so I am going to leave the changes/reverts/edits to the folks that are. For the record, as I live in the UK and have nothing to do with gay politics or the Catholic church or world reproductive health policy. I did vote for Obama and was not unhappy to wave goodbye to the Bush administration. As it says on my user page, I'm straight but not narrow. I had never heard of Dr. Dybul until I read the Washington Post editorial about him. Intrigued, I looked at the Wikipage and noticed there wasn't anything about the dismissal. 
The man's very mixed associations make him a complex and interesting person. I think it should be possible to convey that mixed bag of associations without bias... Without going on too much about it, including his association with Rick Warren would be interesting; as is the fact that he is a Democrat; that he follows the policies of the Catholic church; that some critics feel his only loyalty is to his own career/ PEPFAR; and even that Condoleeza Rice brought up his 'mother-in-law' in the swearing-in. This conveys an acceptance of the man's sexual orientation and his partner at a level that is astonishing to me for a Republican administration. It actually changes my view and understanding of the Bush administration's values. It is also helpful to know the specifics of the reproductive health criticisms -- without exaggeration of what Dybul did and did not do. In every case, the information that is added should be documented with sources, and those sources should be as unbiased as possible. I can't claim that the article I cited is up to snuff, but at least I labeled him as a conservative columnist, and it was from 'mainstream' media.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Celiakozlowski (talk • contribs) 12:42, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
