| An article about Jensen needs more than just shots about his 9/11 editorial. Remember WP:NPOV's commands about balance. And as for this sentence: ''He is best known for a series of controversial opinion pieces he published in the Houston Chronicle shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks.'' Really? Better than for his professorship? Better than for the three books he's written and who knows how many magazine and other opeds? This language is too authoritative. Maybe conservatives like him least becuase of his 9/11 editorial, but this hardly makes it what he is most well-known for. · ]<sup>]</sup> 13:31, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC) | An article about Jensen needs more than just shots about his 9/11 editorial.

An article about Jensen needs more than just shots about his 9/11 editorial. Remember WP:NPOV's commands about balance. And as for this sentence: He is best known for a series of controversial opinion pieces he published in the Houston Chronicle shortly after the September 11th terrorist attacks. Really? Better than for his professorship? Better than for the three books he's written and who knows how many magazine and other opeds? This language is too authoritative. Maybe conservatives like him least becuase of his 9/11 editorial, but this hardly makes it what he is most well-known for. · Katefan0 13:31, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)
