Bob Livingston
Greetings. Just so you know, I restored a portion of the material you deleted regarding Mr. Livingston's resignation. I left out the more lurid details (since they couldn't be verified) and the part about Sen. Vitter's subseqent indiscretions (because they weren't relevant to the article), but I put back the part on Flynt's investigation and Livingston's subsequent admission of his affairs, citing a Washington Post article on the incident as a source.

Removing unsourced and defamatory material is a good thing, but please take care that you don't throw the baby out with the bathwater in the process. We strive to maintain a neutral point of view in articles here--this means we don't want to include slander and unverifiable hearsay, but we also don't want to whitewash the less positive parts if they are true and verifiable and relevant. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks, and happy editing! -- Finngall  talk  20:43, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
