Ed Poor's recent additions

Um, they aren't quite encyclopedic, are they? I mean, using first-person tense is a huge giveaway, but the whole "typical of liberals" thing seems out of place for an article about a single person. Also, I don't understand what "The Islamic society ... and so on." has to do with the rest of the subject of the article. LiamG 13:03, 10 November 2008 (EST)

raw paste from an email - I'm a little confused about this edit? Who was the email from? Who was it to? Shouldn't that be cited in the article, with the part from the email in quotes? (I know how it can be when you get called away from editing - sometimes you just have to post what you've got and fix it up later - I assume that's what happened here? - when that happens to me, I often save the text in a .txt file until I can get back to it - that way I can clean it up first - a handy technique.) I don't have a problem with inserting the opinions of various people into articles, but they do have to be sourced, and ideally have in-text attribution. (Like this: According to so-and-so, "This guy is icky.") --Hsmom 21:10, 10 November 2008 (EST)

I also had difficulty following this section Ed. I've tried to focus it more. It appeared to be diverting to be a defense of the Chronicles of Narnia. Learn together 21:27, 10 November 2008 (EST)
