Talk:Cindy Sheehan/Archive 7

message: Please review my proposed replacement for the chronolgy of the four weeks of demonstrations. Note that the explicit chronology with microscopic detail still exists over at Camp Casey, Crawford, Texas, so no information is being "lost". I think we especially need Badagnani's approval on this (to avoid a revert war). Hopefully, it can reviewed in the next 6-8 hours, so we can replace those section before I leave for the weekend. --Habap 15:20, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

message: As someone who has not been involved so far in editing this article can i say that it is starting to look much better then it used to. However, with the sub-articles I think though that rather then just having nothing other then a see main article thingy, summaries of those articles should be contained here. Wikipedia:How to break up a page may be of help in cutting this page down and making it more encycopedic in style.--JK the unwise 19:06, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Sub-articles

message: Okay, two things:
1) I've changed the rest of the chronology into paragraph form consistent with the rest of the article.  I tried not to remove any significant information, so I'm not sure how well it reads or if my tenses are 100% correct.
2) I'm going to start trimming back some of these external links.  I won't remove anything controversial, but WP isn't a link dump, and there's no reason why a lot of those links need to be there. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 14:41, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we all need to work on your second point. These links are waaay out of hand. Yesterday, I went through and removed all the busted links, etc. but we still have some way to go. I would say shoot for maybe around 6 or 7 pro and 6 or 7 con, plus a few of the articles and interviews. That would give us a grand total of around 20 external links (a fairly good-sized number). Not everything she says has to get its own external link. Not every criticism has to get its own external link. Maybe find some way to incorporate them into the main body of the article? Just my thoughts. --LV (Dark Mark) 14:50, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I eliminated some that were already in the main article, such as at least a few of the interview links, and tried to consolodate others, such as putting the DemocracyNow/Hitchens/Malkin on one line.  I could certainly look to eliminate more, but I don't want to be accused of anything sinister.  Unfortunately, DemocracyNow/CommonDreams don't have a single catchall link for her contributions, which makes it a little more difficult to clean up on their own.  --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 14:58, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I didn't look at exactly which links were removed and which ones were kept, but the sheer number looks much better. --LV (Dark Mark) 15:30, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Final Paragraph

message: Dig this: "There is A LOT of fluff in this article, from both sides. It needs to be cleaned up into a NPOV and that doesn't mean a LPOV followed by a RPOW"
[-Squiggyfm] 
There's a lot to this. This article, or any article of such a polar issue, should not be a battleground. I'd reccomend summaries and qualitative lists of her impact on politics, and not quantitative lists of every complaint/defense ever lodged about her.

Note on the Rcdfish comment: Gee - how do you live with so much hate? And how do you survive without any knowledge of the English language, including spelling, grammar and punctuation. I guess your pResident would be proud that you butcher the language as much as he does. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.73.124.192 (talk • contribs)

replies: text: The best line in that article is Sheehan said that when she told Republican Sen. George Allen of Virginia that she had moved to Berkeley, he laughed and said, “Well, of course you did.” Good find, Neanderthalprimadonna. --Habap 20:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
