Talk:Sarah Palin

From Wikiquote

The article on Sarah Palin is clearly far from neutral, especially the last past titled "About Sarah Palin." It is all negative. Please edit or remove. Thank you.

[edit] Agreed

Agreed.

In fact, the last quote on global warming is just wrong, she says it's happening, but she doesn't think it is man-made. This section is strange. Tuckerresearch 17:37, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

I do not understand why it should be wrong. Here is the quote in context.

Q:What is your take on global warming and how is it affecting our country?

A:changing environment will affect Alaska more than any other state, because of our location. I'm not one though who would attribute it to being man-made.

I suggest to add more positive quotes about Palin and then remove the neutrality dispute template. 62.194.143.28 16:35, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] INCORRECT

The quotation from the Huffington Post is incomplete and taken out of context.

May be I miss something, but I do not see it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/02/palins-church-may-have-sh_n_123205.html

Here is what the article says.

Speaking before the Pentecostal church, Palin painted the current war in Iraq as a messianic affair in which the United States could act out the will of the Lord.

"Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God," she exhorted the congregants. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

[edit] Sarah American,The Huntress

This page seems to be an example of just how unhinged and desperate the Left has become.Just a suggestion here,but shouldn't some information pertaining to her Life and beginnings be featured somewhere on this page?Czarmangis--63.3.7.2 05:30, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

If you want to add info about her life, do it at the Sarah Palin Wiki page. Davecornell 14:41, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disagree

It's wikiquote. If you want more positive quotes, find some, reference them, and post them yourself.

I agree. If the woman is incapable of producing positive/coherent statements, should we make them up just to pretend she is 'balanced'? 76.98.227.82 18:02, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Yes, please add quotes that put her in a positive light if the ones here are not to your liking (and source them)

There is nothing wrong with the quotes themselves having a point of view. The POV might even be the point of having quotes. 70.60.28.226 18:09, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

The problem is that, without proper handling, quotes are stockpiled regardless of the notability of the person saying it, or, as we have seen before, how many times that same person is quoted. Is it the purpose of this page to serve as a depository for anything bad that was ever said about her? ~ S0CO^{(talk|contribs)} 22:31, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Need to protect as "highly excessive edited page"?

I noticed some anons who edited this page were actually open proxies which we generally don't welcome due to their irresponsibility. Do you guys think this article need to semi-protected to reduce edit wars with such an anon edit? If so please put your opinion on this article or on similar articles in dispute on WQ:AN. Thanks. --Aphaia 15:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I think it might be a good idea to semi-protect this page as well as the other candidates (Barack Obama, John McCain, and Joe Biden) at least through the election. ~ UDScott 15:41, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

That would probably be for the best. There was one IP in particular which had placed over sixteen pages of Keith Olbermann transcripts on John McCain's page. ~ S0CO^{(talk|contribs)} 16:08, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Yep. ~ Ningauble 17:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Agree with temporary semiprotection of the candidates. - InvisibleSun 18:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

OK, so until when? Till the Election day or add some days? --Aphaia 18:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I would think at least through Election Day, but maybe even a week longer would be good - the way these things have been going, you never know if the election will end on that day :-) ~ UDScott 19:03, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Agree with one week after the election. At that time we could review the articles and see if an extended semiprotection is needed. - InvisibleSun 20:56, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. ~ S0CO^{(talk|contribs)} 21:45, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

One week sounds like a good plan to me. At least the fervor will settle down for half of the candidates shortly after the ballots are counted, or aren't.  : ) Ningauble 22:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Fine to me too. --Aphaia 09:11, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

I agreed with the protection being on this and other candidates' pages through the election. Now that we've past the one-week-post-election time-frame I think it's time to lift the semi-protection status. There may be some who prefer to remain anonymous who have quotes to post.
