Revision as of 19:12, 19 January 2005
Please stop removing sections from the George W. Bush article - no matter your political opiniions, factual, verifiable information has a place in a Misplaced Pages article and should not be unilaterally removed. You might also be interested that Misplaced Pages has a 3 revert rule that basically states that no user is allowed to revert an article more than 3 times in 24 hours. You're already close to that limit on the Bush article, so be warned. -- Ferkelparade π 13:43, 18 Jan 2005 (UTC)

George W. Bush and Hatfield's allegations
Someone has restored the section you have repeatedly removed, so I've edited it to clarify the source of the allegations. Hatfield said he confirmed the cocaine bust story with unnamed sources close to the Bush family. Not having the sources, and without any records to support the story, we cannot say whether Hatfield's allegations are true or false. They're plausible, however, and not something that should just be kicked under the carpet.
Rather than a partisan approach, Misplaced Pages adopts a neutral point of view (NPOV). The essence of this can be expressed as follows: "assert facts, including facts about opinions — but don't assert opinions themselves". The founder, Jimmy Wales. has described the neutral point of view principle on Misplaced Pages as "non-negotiable". It's a rule we must all follow as contributors.
If as appears to me you are fairly new to Misplaced Pages, you may find this a little difficult to get used to, but I urge you to watch how talk pages are used to iron out differences of opinion so that a form of words that conforms to NPOV can be found. If you have problems with the current form of words--for instance, you seem to be concerned that allegations are being treated as facts rather than opinions--please join the discussion on Talk:George W. Bush. We should be able to work something out without engaging in edit wars. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:18, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
