GA Review

Hi, The GA Review process does allow articles to be put on hold for minor revision. In the case of Alpheidae, however, I felt the changes required were too drastic to allow them to be completed in such a short period. MidgleyDJ 03:12, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

no problem, it wasn't my article, just an article that I liked. 69.140.164.142 15:04, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Criticism of Wal-Mart

I have removed the POV tag that you placed on the 'Product Selection' section of Criticism of Wal-Mart. You left no explanation for why you added the tag on the article's talk page, so I consider your action null and void. Two editors (three, if you cound myself) also disagree with you and see no POV problems with that section. If you would like to replace the POV tag, please explain your actions on at Talk:Criticism of Wal-Mart, or your tag will be reverted again. Dr. Cash 19:12, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I have reviewed your "comments" in adding the POV tag back, and reviewed the section in question, and completely disagree with your "assessment" regarding those statements, as I can't find any POV in those sentences, so I have removed the POV tag. If you'd like to be more specific on this, please bring it up on the article's talk page instead of modifying the article directly. Dr. Cash 17:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Although I think the POV of the paragraph in question (bear in mind this is just one paragraph, not the whole article!) is somewhat obvious, I agree that I could have been more explicit in my comments, and so have edited the comments directly. Please do not remove the {{POV-check-section}} tag unless either

* the POV of the section in question is made more neutral, or

* you have some more specific defense of the way the paragraph is written besides a mere conclusory statement that it is NPOV.

Also remember that {{POV-check-section}} is a much milder tag than {{NPOV}} mentioned at the top of the article.

I have moved your comment on Talk:Criticism of Wal-Mart to the bottom of the page, Talk:Criticism of Wal-Mart#NPOV in emergency contraceptive pagagraph. The section that it was previously in (Talk:Criticism of Wal-Mart#NPOV problems) pertained to an AFD nom (in particular this) and is completely unrelated to what you're talking about.

Thanks. 69.140.164.142 03:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Chronic fatigue syndrome

I don't think adding a {{POV-check}} box makes an awful lot of difference. There are already editors from both sides of the divide gradually working this article to a higher level. I agree that much needs to be done. How about getting a username and participating in the longer term? JFW | T@lk 05:17, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
