This Land Is Your Land

I've reverted your change to This Land Is Your Land and I wanted to explain why. Your change is unsupported, it contradicts the citation that directly follows it, and it appears to go against the Wikipedia:Neutral point of view policy. Further, your edit summary stating, "Guthrie was a card-holding communist," isn't supported by anything in this article or in the Woody Guthrie article. -- Pemilligan (talk) 19:32, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

I understand your point, and thank you very much for explaining. However, both the source cited in the article and the page for Woody Guthrie do support my claim.

From This Land is Your Land, This Land is My Land: Folk Music, Communism, and the Red Scare as a Part of the American Landscape: "Guthrie and Seeger both sang in the tradition of the Industrial Workers of the World (I.W.W.), a radical labor group of the early twentieth century." (The Industrial Workers of the World is a communist organization), "A year before Guthrie had "joined hands" with the C.P.", "The Almanacs had always been a part of the communist faction within the C.I.O., and in 1941 Seeger left the Y.C.L. to become a member of the C.P."

From the Wikipedia article for Woody Guthrie: "Notwithstanding Guthrie's later claim that 'the best thing that I did in 1936 was to sign up with the Communist Party[...]'", "He was noted as a fellow traveller—an outsider who agreed with the platform of the party while not subject to party discipline." — Cangarw-Iesu (talk) 23:06, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
