* There is a discussion of the merits of changing the name of Political views of Mitt Romney to Political positions of Mitt Romney, or, depending on how the conversation develops, some other name. 
* In case you're interested,  go to  Talk:Political views of Mitt Romney#Requested move.

message: In re this, I believe my response to the original edit remains applicable for the most part.  That is, what compels him to provide specific examples?  Why should we, Wikipedia, presume that he should be providing them?  In any event, there's a whole article on the subject.  Why, exactly, do you feel it is incumbent on Edwards to give specific examples, Arnabdas?  Second, is it possible for us to include this information and adhere to NPOV?  I postulate that we cannot, as including the phrase begs the questions I raised above. · jersyko talk 21:29, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, upon further reflection, I'm convinced that the edit has an OR problem, as well, as the source cited does not necessarily support the proposition without some additional legwork, i.e. original research. · jersyko talk 21:34, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I added it because it is a slanderous remark by Senator Edwards if he does not cite an example as to why an entire network should be condemned. As a Senator who wishes to be President of the most powerful nation on Earth, we should understand what he stands for whether we may agree with it or not. I put it back in with an explanation in the history section so I did address this before.Arnabdas 19:20, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, so you're saying anyone who makes a public statement about a news source regarding its reporting bias without citing specific examples is slandering that news source?  I can assure you that you have misread the law in this regard.  As a rudimentary introduction, take a look at the slander article.  Now scroll down to the defenses.  Anyone who makes such a statement would obviously be protected under a number of those listed defenses.  For example, Edwards could simply rely on the underlying truth of his statement or good faith, reasonable belief in its truth, among other things.  In any event, let me assure you it is not slanderous.  Given that, the only points that remain are regarding Wikipedia policy, which I have made above and which have not yet been addressed. · jersyko talk 20:29, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

message: in the LGBT section it talks about his viewpoints on LGBT issues but then suddenly is talking about human trafficing and immigration. an edit is perhaps needed here
I fixed this. Apparently it was an error with the code that caused the Immigration LGBT mixup. --Revolución hablar ver 18:45, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Don't know why this article doesn't have a section on John Edwards' support of federally funded stem cell research - I assume it's an oversight?  I'll put something together later (don't have time now) unless someone else could do it.  Tvoz |talk 00:20, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

message: How come this article mentions his vote, but doesn't mention the fact that he was one of the co-sponsors of the bills?  That seems to be important information.  I'll add it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cylonian (talk • contribs) 
I've added the info that he was the only 2008 Democratic presidential candidate to have co-sponsored the Iraq War bill.  And I linked it to a neutral source, the Library of Congress's records online. It doesn't seem right that an article that talks about a presidential candidate's position on the war doesn't mention that he cosponsered the bill.Cylonian 01:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Edwards plans to gradually withdraw all troops from Iraq in the first 10 months of his presidency. I am assuming the previous information is out-of-date considering the mention of the not-yet-released Petreaus report.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.211.73 (talk) 22:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
