Mike Foley and NPOV
Hello, Proudwiki! I note your recent contributions to the article on Mike Foley (auditor). Unfortunately, I've had to revert several of them.

One of the core principles of Wikipedia is "neutral point of view" (usually abbreviated "NPOV" in Wikidiscussions). You can read more about the philosophy and the policies derived therefrom at WP:NPOV. You might also want to have a look at WP:NOTADVOCACY, which expressly prohibits using Wikipedia to promote a political position.

I'm afraid that some of your Foley edits weren't in keeping with this policy. We don't say "protecting the unborn", just as we don't say "restricting a woman's right to control her own body": we use the neutral "restricting abortion".

I suspect that you may be a Foley supporter, or even have some connection to the campaign. That doesn't mean that you can't contribute to Foley-related articles; but it means that you have to be scrupulous about not inserting your own views.

Feel free to leave a note at my talk page if you've got questions about this, or if there's anything else that I can help you with. Good luck with your future contributions! Ammodramus (talk) 04:33, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
