Denver 2008 - the latest[edit]

Hey, Tuvwxyz. Thanks for supporting Denver 2008! I'm dropping by all the talk pages of Wikipedians for Denver 2008 today with an update on the bidding process and where Denver's bid is currently at.

First off, Denver has a new, unofficial bid homepage up today: http://www.denverdnc2008.com/ , which you may want to check out for more info on the bid to bring the DNC to the Mile High City in '08.

Second, today the site-selection committee is expected to announce the final two cities in the bid for 2008. It's expected by most pundits and bloggers that Denver and St. Paul will likely be the two finalists, but many think that dark horse New York may edge out a seat in the final days of the bidding process.

Third, we're expecting an official site for Denver's bid to emerge within days from the mind of Colorado Democratic Party V.C. Dan Slater (founder and operator of the popular Colorado blog Demonotes).

Well, that's the basics of the day-after-Labor Day DNC update, from a dem from Denver (that'd be me). If your looking for more info on the process that this is all about, check out the premier blog for doing so, http://demconwatch.blogspot.com (a link is on my page: links section for both this blog, Demnotes, and Denver 2008). If you’re looking for more info on the Democratic Party straight from the donkey's mouth check out http://www.democrats.org the official site of the Democratic National Committee.

Anyhow, have a good one. Editor19841 (talk) 23:41, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vladimir Putin[edit]

Well, the support of him really exists, and the thing is it's not only the opinion of the author of that section or me, but it's proven by polls. If your opinion is different, well, you are free to consider it as a peculiar psychological phenomena, mass psychosis or what, but the fact is. As for reforms in Russia -- it's not that easy! The problem is, most of U.S. citizens wouldn't "give a couple of dingo's kidneys" for the problems which REALLY concern Russians. There are not much questions about reforms usually criticized in the U.S. But, what have you heard about increasing scale of law abide in militia, about problems of house building, corruption, xenophobia in wide sense i.e. different nations living together; people's disbelief of the Government, etc. It isn't that easy, friend Goracio, how you may think. ellol 22:02, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The section I deleted was poorly written and the the phrase highlighted was POV:

Despite the many critical voices in the Western media of the many reforms that have taken and are taking place in modern Russia under Vladimir Putin’s rule no one can argue that the transformation has been dramatic and/or enjoys popular support inside and outside Russia.

As proven in a joint Poll by World Public Opinion in the United States, June 26-July 2nd 2006 and by the Levada Center in Russia, June 9th - 14th 2006. World Public opinion President Putin's Government enjoys a majority of homegrown support for even his most "controversial" reforms.

That's basically saying that it is a fact that the reform has been dramatic, while that is actually opinion. However, I will say the new section is a lot better written.

Ok. Yes, really, that phrase wasn't supported by evidences. May be, I'll find them, tho. But in any way it's a bit controversial. ellol 05:56, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
