Michelle Malkin = uniformed Nazi?!
Hi. Have you visited http://malkinwatch.blogsome.com in the last couple of months? Did you notice that the blog's logo depicts Malkin as a uniformed Nazi? (And you called me childish!) Did not notice the stream of unsubstantiated, damaging slurs on her character? Have you read WP:EL? Have you read WP:BLP? Can you find any recent post on the blog that criticises Malkin without insulting her?
Yes, we did once agree that malkinwatch was worth linking to. But the blog went downhill a few months ago, about the time Malkin switched from textblogging to video-blogging. (The bloggers seem to have tried to lift their standards a little in the last few days, but they're still near the bottom of the gutter.)
If you want malkinwatch in the article, you will need to first convince people that several sections of WP:EL should be ignored and that parts of WP:BLP should be rewritten. Barring that, I'll keep removing the link.

- Chris... What then can we choose as the definitive blog dedicated to criticizing her? I've already removed "MichelleMalkinisanIdiot.com." Perhaps relevant is the fact that part of the Malkin shtick seems to be posting unflattering photos of people she disapproves of - see any Malkin post on Cynthia McKinney or Cindy Sheehan. The link remains. --AStanhope 11:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- See the first paragraph in this section? It's not there for decoration. Before you restore that link again, please answer the questions I asked above.
- And why on earth do we need any blogs that criticise her? If we had a blog that satisfied WP:EL and WP:BLP, then we'd link to it. Since we don't, we simply don't link to any blogs. CWC(talk) 11:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Your edit comment
- remarkable that one might be offended by a cartoon of someone wearing a swastika armband but feel nothing in the face of that same person advocating mass race-based incarceration
- strikes me as a pathetic attempt to dodge the issue. I have repeatedly pointed out that linking to MalkinWatch violates Misplaced Pages policy as well as the WP:EL guidelines, and you have never even tried to deny that. Why are you defying Misplaced Pages's rules?

Who vandalizes Michelle Malkin
Putting aside our differences over malkinwatch, I was saddened to see you assume that this vandal came from the liberal side of politics. I think it more probable that these "misogynistic/racist slurs" come from misogynistic, racist far-right people, who would see doing "great damage to the liberal position as a whole" as highly desireable. There are some self-professed liberals who have written stupid things about Malkin (and others), but I believe that most of the racist/sexist garbage comes from Nazi-oids trying to cosy up to liberals and left-wingers through common hatred, and I am happy to see that almost everyone on the left rejects them immediately.

- That person's comments really upset me. "Can't we all just get along?" Oh well! Thanks for the note. --AStanhope 03:01, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Michelle Malkin advertising blog links
Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Misplaced Pages, as you did in Michelle Malkin. Misplaced Pages is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links as long as the content abides by our policies and guidelines. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks.
Since the blog has a stated objective of getting on Misplaced Pages, it's adcruft. It's use explicitly violates WP:EL, WP:BLP and WP:NN. Criticism of living persons needs to come from reliable sources and blogs simply do not qualify. --Tbeatty 18:54, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Claude Vermette
You do yourself injury by passive-agressively pursuing this vendetta. If you insist, you can list the article on your userpage as one you started, though that does put your record of honesty in jeopardy seeing as the edit history belies this. Also note that I've nominated your recreation of Interweb medley for speedy deletion. Recreating deleted pages, no matter the content, is... well, I'm just kind of astonished that I need to tell another experienced editor that it's not done. — Saxifrage ✎ 01:30, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know what you are talking about. Is it possible that you have me confused with somebody else? --AStanhope 18:38, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- That's next to impossible here. You must be taking all this very personally to respond like that. I'm sorry that this has distressed you so. From your edit history you seem to be a good editor and a positive influence at Misplaced Pages—please try to put this behind you and not let it affect the quality of your participation at Misplaced Pages. You might find that the essay No angry mastodons offers some good insights and perspective that would help. — Saxifrage ✎ 20:09, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

That was very, very gracious. Thanks. I'm going to think on what you wrote a bit before giving a better reply. — Saxifrage ✎ 01:47, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Kingston, MA
Regardless of any historical importance of Kingston and Plymouth to American culture, calling it "the Cradle of American Civilization" is POV, and in any case, it's irrelevant to Neil Cicierega. That's why I removed it. —Adam Atlas 02:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
