→Remove "ideologically motivated" tags
:::When I see <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki>-tags being placed on nearly every bullet point in such a long article, it certainly seems to be ideologically motivated -- you are questioning the entire validity of the article, rather than just one ore two points. Many of these points are clear, so the fact tags betray a case of [[deliberate ignorance]] and we won't cave into that time-wasting tactic. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 06:30, 16 November 2008 (EST)

::::The difference comes when every statement where he didn't add a fact tag, he added a citation. Which leads me to believe that he did try to look for citations but couldn't find them. If he were truley "ideologically motivated" wouldn't it have been more effective for him to add fact tags to everything, so as to not provide any help to the opposing "ideology"?

What if the entire validity of the article is at issue?

:::::I can't speak for his motivations, I can only speak for the effect it creates: that the whole article looks like one big citation tag. The entire validity of this article is NOT at issue. It was created by Andy half a year ago and has had a large number of editors contribute and refine it. For Ferno to come in now and add cite tags to the majority of the points betrays either a wanton arrogance or else an ideological motivation. -[[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 02:49, 17 November 2008 (EST)
