More on XM/Sirius merger
With a name like "Antitrustbust", you may lead people to believe that your intentions are not the most honorable, especially since your only contributions (so far) are to the article XM/Sirius merger.

According to Wp:npov, articles should be unbiased and not attempt to present an opinion about a topic. The antitrust issues surrounding the XM and Sirius merger have already been mentioned in the article, and you could have expounded on that there.

Even so, it's hard to look at the information you posted and not think it's intended to represent a point of view regarding the merger or its antitrust implications. The references to biased source doesn't help. Georgetown law students have been identified as being involved with some under the table dealings with the NAB, so everything that comes from Georgetown or the C3SR is suspect. For now, I'm going to have to remove this edit. If you'd like to expand on the antitrust situation, please do, but use the talk page first so that people can help you build a neutral discussion of the facts.

Thank you. -- TomXP411[Talk] 17:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Chris, I have taken your comments under advisement and created a more neutral description of your arguments. Again, considering your conflict of interest in this matter (you are part of a political lobbying group), it is better that you propose changes first in the article's discussion page and let users help edit the changes in to an unbiased form. Then the content can be introduced in to the main article. -- TomXP411[Talk] 19:49, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
