COI

The original article as written by User:Bob Dettmer wasn't too far out of line by itself, but the additional unencyclopedic material added by User:Jsrobinson06 was a copyright violation from Mr. Dettmer's campaign web site. Also, it seems highly likely that Jsrobinson06 is Joshua Robinson, Mr Dettmer's campaign chair (as documented here). --Finngall ^talk 20:26, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I restored most of the info. I would doubt that the man's service in Iraq/Afghanistan is unencylopedic. While we can't copyvio the campaign site, improving via google beats blanking (it was used to verify the likely identity of Jsrobinson06, why not also the material s/he contributed?). Also, unless there is an obvious POV COI, the proper place for the tag is here on the talk page, not the article itself. MrPrada (talk) 05:45, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
