ACORN Undercover Videos material moved to the Main Article
On 4/23/2010, I moved a large chunk of new material plus old material from the ACORN undercover videos controversy subsection of the James O'Keefe biography article to the main article because it was rapidly expanding and becoming divergent in content from the main article. The subsection here now consists of the lede of the main article as a synopsis with main article link; this prevents the problem of the articles slowing changing over time with new material appearing here which isn't in the main article itself.
As the lede of the main article now serves as the subsection synopsis here on the O'Keefe biography article, if an editor wishes to make changes to the section, please do not edit it here while ignoring it on the main article. Instead, edit it on the article mainpage, and if the edits are in consensus, copy it back here to the O'Keefe page subsection so that they continue to match.--AzureCitizen (talk) 20:02, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
White supremacist literature
Please stop reverting the change dealing with white supremacy. O'Keefe was at an unsavory conference and this should be in Wikipedia. But to write in addition the allegation he was "handing out white supremacist literature" is to treat hearsay as fact. The article is clearly an op-ed. Its only witness to such an event is an anonymous D.C. area freelance photographer Isis, who is referenced might I add in brackets, and who refuses to be named. Her photograph of O'Keefe is no more than a mugshot.
There is no ground to print that James O'Keefe was handing out white supremacist literature. There is plenty of ground not to. If the hit piece you are linking to with the aforementioned flaws is sufficient ground for us to record fact, we might as well start linking to the tabloid press.
It is easy to find accounts of the convention online written by those who went. Perhaps we can read some of them together and work out what happened? I think that might be helpful.
For now perhaps you can suggest a compromise. Ogo (talk) 21 August 2010 (UTC)
