Please do not add defamatory content to Wikipedia, as you did to Marc Thiessen, especially if it involves living persons. Thank you. Calton | Talk 14:06, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

Response by Jim Smith: There is nothing defamatory about Thiessen there. I simply noted that he had been criticized in a dozen newspapers across America, which is true and easily verifiable (I also included 4 references proving this). Please re-visit the libel/defamatory page and explain specifically what you think is defamatory so that I will know better in the future and so we can craft this addition in a way that meets with Wikipedia's standards. Talk 14:18, 5 January 2019 (UTC). Here is my addition again: After writing a column that attacked the John Birch Society using false information and then refusing to issue a full correction, Thiessen was criticized for dishonesty and his ties to white supremacists by members and Jewish leaders of the Society in letters and op-eds published in almost a dozen major newspapers across the country.

You have recently shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people.
