Alberto Gonzales article
Would you please cease your biased editing of his bio? Bombarding the article with paragraphs of praise from journalists, promotional-style fluff, and biased interpretations of primary sources is inappropriate. Focus on presenting a summary of the accumulation of reliable secondary sources, rather than trying to right some perceived wrong by shoving in as much positive material as you can.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 21:29, 5 August 2013 (UTC)


 * While some of the changes you may see as biased there are plenty of edits that are not biased in any respect. I would appreciate if you would not override those edits.


 * For example, in the first paragraph I made the edit about how he taught at Texas Tech, what he teaches at Belmont and what he does at Waller Law. Nothing about his previous and current jobs can be considered biased. I also added in his resignation date and when it became effective.


 * Another example is all of the additions I made in his later career section. I listed recent media interviews (with references) that Judge Gonzales has done in the past six months on important topics such as the Boston bombings, the AP scandal and AG Holder. The media interviews were not biased in any way. I also added in the information about his upcoming book that will be released in Fall 2013. I would appreciate if you would leave such edits in.


 * Thank you.
 * Those edits you mention are predominantly just unnecessary fluff. It adds nothing to the article to mention all the times he has expressed a view on a major issue, list programs or publications where he has expressed an opinion, or all the different places he has been. Also, I am not going to try and sort out what in your massive content additions might be acceptable. Should you want to make certain clearly non-contentious additions or fixes then just make those edits, rather than littering the article with a lot of extraneous or biased material at the same time.-- The Devil's Advocate tlk.  cntrb. 22:50, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
