Village Voice material
Sorry, but I don't see how the additions you are making to biographies about a letter to the Village Voice are of encyclopedic value (for instance, in regards to WP:UNDUE). Also, they are based on a primary source, which further begs the question of the notability of this information. I am reverting them, since taken together with your edits on Village Voice they suggest an agenda, if not a soapbox. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 20:39, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Please keep our conversation on-wiki. "Public records" typically qualify as primary sources; Wikipedia favors (to put it mildly) secondary sources. But even if some newspaper reported on who signed what, that still doesn't answer the other objections: that such mention is really undue weight and in their totality appear to be soapboxing.
