message: I would like to hear an explanation about why there is no summary for the espionage charges in this article, only a header. Your impression that it is a punitive tit for tat against my removal of Schrecker's comments, but 1, that’s now how Wikipedia works, and 2, I have already explained, and you appear to have conceded that Schrecker's comments are irrelevant.

replies: text: Not true. I think Schrecker is on point. It is not fair to claim that Navasky is not a scholar. He is not an acemdemic, but he is a scholar. Seek compromise. Assume good faith. See my comments on the other page.--Cberlet 17:04, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

text: The deletion of Schrecker from both pages is unfair, and thus the recent edit is just punative and unfair.  It is not fair to delete a scholar and then say there are only journalists who are skeptical. Furthermore, Navasky is a scholar. Not all scholars are academics, and important distinction.--Cberlet 20:30, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

message: :Image:Magdoff.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Magdoff.jpg

message: A couple problems with the heading - "He held several administrative positions in government during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt" Although true it has some inaccuracies 1st he started as a statistician and 2nd he was in government during the Truman administration. This sentence should be improved but I'm not quite sure how to go about it without unnecessarily making it longer. Perhaps- "He was a government employee during the 30s and 40s"  "He held several positions in government during the 30s and 40s" or "He held several positions in government during the presidencies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman." or "He held positions in government during the Great Depression and World War II"  And after reading the article I'm left with a question - Was he a card carrying member of the Communist Party? Being a suspected party member would have made continuing federal employment during the late 1940s and 1950s nearly impossible. Nitpyck (talk) 02:10, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
