Why did you edit the Safire article to say he was a token conservative? The commandments state all information must be true and verifiable. The reference provided does nothing to substanciate your claim that Safire was a token conservative at the NY Times. For this reason your edit should be removed until a reliable source is provided. I have been unable to find one that is suitable. --[[User:MichaelJB|MichaelJB]] 12:54, 18 December 2009 (EST)

:: 1) I did not make that edit. 2) But what it means is that for many years he was the only conservative voice on op-ed (and the editorial page was very liberal). 3) it's common knowledge of the sort you get by reading the NY Times every day. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 15:20, 18 December 2009 (EST)

:::My apologies. That being said, it shouldn't matter if something is common knowledge or not, the reference provided does not state Safire was the alleged token conservative at the Times. According to the commandments all entries must be true AND verifiable. --[[User:MichaelJB|MichaelJB]] 19:21, 18 December 2009 (EST)
