Agenda pushing / NPOV Warning

You have added state statistics and wording pushing an agenda against teachers salaries to quite a few articles relevant to school districts in Pennsylvania. Wikipedia has a policy that articles must conform to WP:NPOV, and your edits are in no way in line with this. As such, much of your agenda pushing has been removed. If this continues, you will be blocked. Toddst1 (talk) 14:23, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

POV complaint

I am confused by your comment regarding my posting teacher's benefits being an attack on teachers. I meant no such thing. I reread my post. I do not see any opinion words in what I wrote only facts and all the statements are backed by third party citations. Rep Grell's comment is published in the paper. According to the neutral POV wiki article, I think my posts are neutral.

How should the contract facts be written to be acceptable to wikipedia?Paopenrecords (talk) 19:16, 8 June 2010 (UTC) (moved from User talk:Toddst1)

Leave out the editorial or better yet, find a different place for WP:Advocacy. That some congressman or biased news outlet said something about how things need to be changed is hardly encyclopedic. The veneer on your agenda is less than paper-thin. You're pretty clearly a WP:SPA account with an agenda focused on Pennsylvania Tax reform related to schools.

By the way, characterizing your edits as "being an attack on teachers" are your words not mine. Toddst1 (talk) 19:31, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Is it just the teacher benefit data you object to? I thought it was meaningful to add the data like test scores, grants, budget, and tax info. That is the kind of info I would expect to find in an encyclopedia. I took pains to use sources and be factual. I noticed that many school district articles lacked much useful info and were characterized as school stubs. I have been working my way through the schools trying to add neutral published by third party info. What kind of info do you add to school articles that I am lacking?Paopenrecords (talk) 19:47, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Yes, test scores and grants are great. Veiling your agenda using them is not. Perhaps you'd care to contribute to something else about Pennsylvania - maybe something that you don't have such a conflict of interest and agenda.Toddst1 (talk) 19:55, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
