Pages needing attention/Political science
Mosquito ringtone Political science
*Sabrina Martins Anarchism in the English tradition - needs help from an expert. POV problems, centric to certain aspects of US tradition. See talk page. Nextel ringtones VivaEmilyDavies/VivaEmilyDavies 01:46, 4 Mar 2005
*Abbey Diaz List of Democratic Party celebrities - (I'm not sure if this is the best heading under which to list this) this page has all the flaws the List of republican celebrities page did before it was drastically re-written when it appeared on VfD. The main problem is that having "leftist" views does not make one a member of any party, as the title states. Look at Mosquito ringtone List of celebrities with links to the US Republican Party for a page that is substantially better referenced and explained, and more accurate (though not without flaws still). If nothing happens here I'll list this on VfD in a couple weeks; that usually is the most effective way to address these issues. -Sabrina Martins R. fiend/R. fiend 18:28, 15 Feb 2005
* Nextel ringtones Left-wing fascism - This is badly POV. Left Wing Fascism clearly exists (e.g. The Socialist Workers' Party's campaign to shut down the British National Party, rather than simply speaking out against them), but whether it is anything other than fascism is a different matter.
* Abbey Diaz Center for Strategic and International Studies - has had facts inserted by someone angry at them for an alleged conservative bent. I don't know enough about this to NPOV, and the facts might themselves be valid, but needs another view.
