Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * This wiki page is full of commentary or propaganda. Just look at the press freedom section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Speedbar (talk • contribs) 13:54, 21 May 2008


 * If you believe the article could use improvement, then go ahead an improve it, or discuss at Talk:Meles Zenawi. However, adding your own analysis (e.g., ) does not improve the article. (I am no fan of Meles, either, for what it's worth.) Thanks. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 14:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * P.S. The section in question, whatever its problems, does at least cite its sources. If you believe the section lacks neutrality, you can always add the  tag to that section (if you do, though, you should leave comments at Talk:Meles Zenawi). Or, try to balance it out and cite sources yourself. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 14:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I will add POV and cite references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Speedbar (talk • contribs) 14:32, May 21, 2008


 * I agree with Gyrofrog. Speedbar, if you'd like to add information to the Meles Zenawi article, please do, but it is very important to ensure that anything added to Wikipedia, is linked to a reliable source.  Also, edit-warring to "force" a version of a page, is never effective.  We routinely block thousands of accounts that try this.  A better way to proceed is to carefully link sources, and where there is disagreement on an article, to discuss things on a talkpage and build a consensus of how the article should be handled. If you do have any questions, let us know.  :) --Elonka 17:27, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
