Hi RyeJay, first let me say that I'm coming from a neutral prespective in regards to the controversey section you added to this article. It makes no difference to me if it's included or not, but the tone of your edit and the twisting around of the facts in the source provided as a reference is only going to result in an edit war. You keep inserting the original text everytime another editor removes it. There must be some compromise that can be made that can satify those involved, because an edit war is not in anyone's best interests.

I have tried to tone down the text somewhat as a compromise, but the issue should be discussed and changes can still be made. The section sounded more like an op-ed piece than an encyclopedia article, written to make the mayor look as bad as you could make him look. When dealing with living people, we have to be careful in what we write. You should read up on wikipedia policy pertaing to this. WP:BLP deals with unsourced or controversial material. Taking an example made by the mayor, and twisting it around to say he was making a comparison is 100% false and not supported by the source provided. If you have a source that says he indeed made a comparison, than add it to the article, don't just say he made it and then provide no proof. I'm making an effort here to rectify the edit war problem this section has caused, I hope you will make the effort to discuss rather than just claiming your version is the one that belongs and continue add it as originally written. Without compromise, the edit war will probably continue. Cmr08 (talk) 04:38, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
