→My block and this article: Fault on both sides
Bugler, ideally an encyclopedia doesn't decide which information it wants its readers to have by basis of ideology.--[[user:TomMoore|<font color="#000066" >Tom Moore</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:TomMoore|fiat justitia ruat coelum]]</sup> 11:25, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

I think both parties are at fault here. AdenJ and Bugler ''both'' engaged in a short edit war. And it's debateable that AdenJ was "lauding" the people that he mentioned in his edits. To some extent, it depends on what one means by "greats". Also, it depends on whether one should acknowledge any good points about people with bad points. Regardless, I think more (or earlier) talk and less reversion on ''both'' sides should have been done.
A couple of other comments:
* Yes, an encyclopaedia ''shouldn't'' decide what gets included on the basis of ideology, but it's probably not possible to avoid, given that every encyclopaedia does.
* Prominent people in particular ''are'' role models whether they want to be or not. In fact almost ''everyone'' is a role model to ''someone''.
