Line 7:

UUcp is clearly a Clinton operative interfering with the posting of corrections to false statements and characterizations placed on this site. As far as a POV issue, there is no reason to place the fact that Peter Paul is a convicted felon in the first sentence of his bio. Do you see that on Armand Hammer's site or George Soros' site? They were convicted felons along with Tim Allen, Don King and Roger Clinton, yet that fact is not included in the introductions to their bios. All corrections being made to the false statements posted by UUcp are being removed and we protest that to the wikipdeia administrators!!! [[User:Franklyn2]]12:08 21 January 2006 (UTC)

:Just to get this out of the way first: Let's stick very narrowly to finding ways for improving this article. Trading accusations won't accomplish anything, except poisoning the overall climate and making constructive debate that much harder. Please [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]] — we need everyone's help to improve this article and to make it conform to the usual standards of [[Wikipedia:verifiability|verifiability]] and [[WP:NPOV|neutrality]], so let's not make that harder by assuming that others don't share these goals.

:That said, I think [[User:Franklyn2|Franklyn2]] has a valid point regarding the lead sentence. I wasn't convinced that [[Tim Allen]] or [[Don King]] are comparable, but then I realized that it gets needlessly complicated: we probably won't find any precedent that we can all agree is comparable to PFP. However, it's still constructive to look at articles on other people who have been involved in scandals or convicted of crimes. Without trying to invite a comparison, while checking out sources from the 1980s I was reminded of [[Michael Milken]]. Have a look — I think that article does a better job of dealing with the POV issues. --[[User:MarkSweep|MarkSweep]]&nbsp;<small>[[User talk:MarkSweep|(call me collect)]]</small> 05:53, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
