definitely no Streisand effect

The part about the raid on the parody Twitter guy's house having the Streisand effect is shortsighted. It JUST happened, and while getting SOME publicity now, it likely will be forgotten by Monday. Wikipeida is not the place for editorializing, especially by idiots. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.205.245.177 (talk) 05:09, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

No source provided any evidence that the mayor "directed" the police to raid the home in the twitter incident. --Zfish118 (talk) 15:44, 23 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BLO

‪No source describes the drug arrest as adding "justification"‬. No reliable source cited describes this as the "Streisand effect"‬. All information in a wiki:biography of a living person MUST be cited from a wiki:reliable source. --Zfish118 (talk) 02:06, 24 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Republican

Although a specific citation is likely needed, as opposed to an inference drawn from related facts, I can deduce that Jim Ardis is likely a Republican because he sought appointment to an Illinois State Senate seat vacated by a Republican, losing out to another Republican, even though Governor Pat Quinn is a Democrat (meaning that the Governor is probably required to fill vacancies with a member of the same party).
