Regarding the article Pat Robertson:

Please stop removing content from Wikipedia, it is considered vandalism. If you want to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Prodego talk  16:13, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Prodego, the article about robertson is just too long to attract attention. The same stuff could be said in a couple of words. That was my intention with the edit.
 * Thanks.


 * Your edits look like vandalism, many users may revert them, please use edit summaries.

 * If you have any question's, feel free to ask me rewriting an article if difficult, so you really should read the Manual of Style first and try to follow it. Prodego  talk  21:56, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Can you cite your sources on the claim that the NCLR received funding that it was unable to account for? Thanks.--Rockero420 16:31, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

foxnews.com/oreilly is the source. I would like to add that I'm Latino myself, however I do believe government funds should be used the best way possible and if organizations receive funds, they should account for them. There are many ways to help our community and it should be done efficiently. Thank you.
 * O'Reilly (who in all honesty may not be the best source) must have citing a study or a GAO report. The initial document should be cited as the source for the info, not a reporter's reference of it.  So if you could please find out where the info came from, then we could include it into the article properly.  Wikipedia has a policy against the inclusion of unsourced material.  Thank you for your contributions.  BTW, it is recommended that you sign your posts on talkpages by typing four tildes. (~)  This helps lessen confusion and helps you establish a reputation among your fellow Wikipedians, who ultimately decides what gets into the 'pedia and even who gets to edit it.  Gracias,--Rockero420 20:29, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Rockero, thanks for your reply. O'Reilly, whether liked or not by the people, might have concerns like any other person about this issue. He cited official government documentation when reporting about the $15 million that NCLR received this year. I wish to see our Latino community progress like any other, however as I said earlier, accountability is important. Either way, when I added this to the article, I just added it as a concern of critics, I didn't affirm anything. Gracias.
 * Cool. While Wikipedia is a collaborative effort, it is heavily reliant on the contributions of individual editors.  Contributions that are well-researched and sourced are rarely, if ever, questioned by the community.  When a contributor knows something about a certain subject and would like to contribute it to the article but cannot remember where he or she read it (or cannot source it for whatever other reason), then the best place for said datum is on the article's talk page (the "discussion" tab right beside the "article" tab.  That way, it will be available to anyone interested in the subject, and later editors can include it in subsequent rewrites.  Currently, I am involved in WikiProject Mexican-Americans/Chicanos, and one of our big concerns is the poor quality of Mexican-American/Chicano related articles.  If you are interested in this theme, I invite you to join the project.  For now, I'm going to move the info you have provided to the talk page, and when my collaborators and I tackle the rewrite, we will do the research necessary to properly include it.  (So you won't have to).  Thanks for your understanding and for your contributions.--Rockero420 23:05, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
