-I added a McNamara quote to both this page and the resolution page, as it seems very appropriate in both to balance their POV's. Strangely, the same quote seems to provide balances in opposite directions on each page...Any opposition to this? And how should I go about citing documentaries? It almost makes sense to merge the two articles, but once it grows I could see it splitting once again. [[User:Burtcord|Burtcord]] 12:36, 1 February 2010 (EST)
-:I see Andy reverted it entirely. I can see if the commentary I provided alongside the quote might have set off a POV-alarm, but I still think the quote is immensely pertinent to this subject and should be included.[[User:Burtcord|Burtcord]] 17:37, 1 February 2010 (EST)
