User talk:Peaceray/Possible POV violations regarding replacement of MediaMatters citations

This information is based upon Special:Contributions/Thargor Orlando.

Some quick notes on the above
A few things to note, since this is about me:


 * Rarely, arguably if ever, am I changing the viewpoint of an article. There may be NPOV fixes along the way, for sure, but the change of a partisan citation to a nonpartisan one does not change the viewpoint of the article.  For example, the Ken Starr link in the first table item references an exact quote from Starr: I changed the reference from one that made a claim about Starr/AP ("AP allowed Starr to dodge blame for going after Clinton on Lewinsky") to an article that simple quotes Starr directly, thus directly citing the claim in the article.  The implication that these are in a table called "substantially different viewpoint" implies that I'm changing the point of view of the article as opposed to offering better (meaning either a more neutral source or a more direct reference that isn't filtered through a partisan lens) references to the articles.
 * Please be careful when saying a source does not work - the Biden NYT link is valid and not dead, in comparison to countless broken MMfA links I have replaced over the last week.
 * A key guideline is to be bold. I don't disagree that my edits are bold, and I expect some slight pushback when I move to things like WorldNetDaily and NewsMax as well.  In the cases that there have been challenges (such as Winter Soldier Investigation and The Political Cesspool), discussion happens/is ongoing, as it should be.

Glad to discuss anything further, but I am headed out the door for a few hours, so don't assume I'm ignoring it. Thargor Orlando (talk) 22:45, 16 February 2013 (UTC)
 * A note on the Biden NYT article: I did receive a "Page not found" notice when I clicked on the citation link as I was putting the table together. I am very careful at checking citations when editing, which you can see from Special:Contributions/Peaceray. I am sorry if what I reported later turned out inaccurate, but in that instant that was what I saw in my browser.
 * Sorry about taking nearly five days to respond, but my editing time has been constrained this week.
