Talk:Michael Garcia (politician)

Untitled
I'm not sure where to answer what was posted on my talk page about my edits but I stand behind them wholeheartedly. In order to adhere to the Wiki rules that were quoted in defense of leading with Garcia's resignation and keep the introduction fair, I think it would be necessary to include positive things he's notable for, that he's notable for being elected when he was only 26, and to do so would make the introduction extremely long. I know that WP:LEAD says that the Introduction can be up to four paragraphs but considering the length of the article, that seems excessive. Smart Ways (talk) 03:11, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, the rest of WP:LEAD says, "The lead should not "tease" the reader by hinting at but not explaining important facts that will appear later in the article." I consider the wording I removed to be the very definition of a "tease."


 * WP:LEAD also says, "The emphasis given to material in the lead should roughly reflect its importance to the topic according to reliable, published sources." If I'm reading this correctly, then I think that a search of Denver Post/RMN archives would show that many more articles have been written about Garcia's accomplishments than the "scandal" surrounding his resignation.

Pattern of censorship
Periodically, User:Repgarcia without explanation deletes sourced material regarding Michael Garcia's resignation. The username and the fact that this user has only edited this one article suggests that it is someone who identifies with the subject of the article. Such efforts to censor sourced material will continue to be reversed by other editors. Plazak (talk) 13:16, 28 December 2012 (UTC)


 * The pattern of censorship has now been taken over by User:Garcia ep. Plazak (talk) 23:07, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
