I imported this from Wikipedia, with the intention of making it into a decent encyclopedia article about a controversial personality. IMHO, the Wikipedia version is a very bad article that places far too much emphasis on negatives, controversies, and the like. Louis F. Sander 22:33, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

I would start over, putting this on (say) Talk:Ann Coulter/WP, picking and choosing what to use. It's a mess right now. --Larry Sanger 23:12, 28 March 2007 (CDT)

Do you mean I should put it in some sort of "work in progress" area, where it can't be readily seen until it's finished? I'm going to work on it, and I already have, but it needs a LOT of work. I've discovered that the work goes fairly slowly, too, especially due to some pretty convoluted and hard-to-get citations. Louis F. Sander 00:39, 29 March 2007 (CDT)

Don't trim large amounts of fat without explanation, please

Mr. Sander, I noticed that you deleted two paragraphs from the article [1] saying only "trim the fat" in the summary. If you delete that much, you really owe the other contributors more of an explanation/justification. I am going to reinstate the material, on the assumption that it could easily be re-deleted--but after some explanation. I hope this seems reasonable. --Larry Sanger 07:59, 12 May 2007 (CDT)
