I removed a reference to strike breaking activity, and the content of article referring to it and his love of conspiracies. the reference was not a reliable one (online edited reprint of an article from Processed world, not a major source for news), and the comments on being a conspiracy buff were not sourced. he may be, but we need references to show that. And the SF Weekly will NOT count as a source, as the two papers were involved in a lawsuit, though that could be an interesting article. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 22:10, 31 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I do not see why SF Weekly can not serve as a source, providing the material was properly documented. Following your logic, the Village Voice could not be a source, since it is the parent company of SF Weekly; the local pubic broadcaster, KQED, cannot be a source, since Brugmann was engaged in a lawsuit with KQED; the SF Chronicle, SF Examiner, and nearly all the smaller newspapers and publications in San Francisco cannot be sources, since the Guardian has clashed with nearly all of them at one time or another; and nearly every person involved in politics, business, and the arts in San Francisco over the last thirty years can not be a source.
