Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Wikipedia has standards for material, such as citing reliable secondary sources, especially for material related to living people. Additionally, material removed on the grounds that it violates the policy on content related to living people cannot be reinserted without consensus. I'll raise my issues with the material on the talk page shortly, but I will be removing those quotes once again. Please do not restore them absent a consensus to do so.  nableezy  - 16:47, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Tim Wise, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:16, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Tim Wise
While I agree that the article should include criticism of Wise, it has to come from better sources.

Please take a look at our policy concerning biographies of living persons. Information in such a biography must be based on "high quality sources". The website you are citing as the source for the material you wish to add to the article is not a reliable source. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:38, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

How was it not a good source for criticism of Wise? It was a secondary source citing a primary source. --AdairWard (talk) 18:45, 1 September 2011 (UTC)AdairWard


 * Not every secondary source is a reliable source. The links to biggovernment.com look like blog posts. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:05, 1 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Please read WP:RSOPINION: "Never use self-published books, zines, websites, webforums, blogs and tweets as a source for material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the biographical material. 'Self-published blogs' in this context refers to personal and group blogs; see WP:BLP and WP:BLP." (emphasis in original)
 * Surely notable publications such as National Review or Commentary have written about Wise? — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 20:46, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
