Talk:Examples of Bias in Wikipedia (view source)

P. S. There are two questions to be asked about this item: a) is it appropriate for an encyclopedia, and b) is it accurate? Looking only at the ''second'' question, I see that Wikipedia gives no source for the item, and a few quick searches on the Web and in Google Books don't immediately turn one up. I've marked the item in Wikipedia as needing a source, identified the editor who inserted the item, and left a note on his Talk page saying "I don't hold much admiration for Senator Tower, but an item like this really needs a good source citation." If a source citation isn't provided I'll remove the item, and if nobody finds a source, my removal of the item will probably stick. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 09:59, 26 January 2007 (EST)

P. P. S. The New York Times obituary for John Tower spells her name "Lilla," not "Lila," as the Wikipedia article did until a few minutes ago when I fixed it. The Times obituary does not mention the flower-rejection story, but does judge it appropriate to devote two of the article's twenty-one paragraphs to the topic "Bitter divorce in 1987," which is not irrelevant to his career since it says his wife's allegations "probably cost him the Pentagon post...."
