replies: text: Yep, pretty much. If anything on the page is in violation of WP:BLP, we can discuss it here, but unexplained blanking of referenced facts is going to taken as vandalism every time and looks like the pushing of a particular point of view. Katr67 (talk) 03:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Oh, now I see you appear to have a particular POV as well. I see nothing particularly controversial about the info that you blanked, any chance you'd like to find citations for that info? I'm tempted to revert it back. Katr67 (talk) 03:18, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Did you see my edit summary about undue weight? You appear to be only interested in the negative information about Cohen, while the anon editor seems to be only interested in promoting Cohen.  An encyclopedia article needs to be balanced and include both positive and negative info. Katr67 (talk) 03:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

text: Not really, just what can be sourced. I can stand one or two citation needed tags on an article this size but couldn't find anything discussing this person's activities before or after Air America. Rather than adding a  after each assertion needing one the blanking seemed like a better solution, however if I was out to just show negative facts I'd of removed the statement about him buying the Air America idea which currently needs citation).

replies: text: OK, just seems like a lot of agendas working on this article. But surely there are some reliable sources on his background. Katr67 (talk) 05:16, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

text: You'd think so(that neutral, reliable sources exist about him), but the one source I just found to back his claims of operating businesses previously also says he owes them $20k. Anynobody 06:34, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflict of interest 

message: I'm a bit concerned about this source, being part of the Sorensen Media Group, should we treat it as a sort of self published source? The rules say it's ok to use such sources in articles like this, but makes me wonder if a source which normally caries fully reliable information is handled differently when discussing its executives. For example would we give the same weight to articles from FOX News if Roger Ailes were caught up in some kind of mess like this where his position would allow him the unique opportunity to more or less report on himself?
