I apologize to the anonymous editor of 28 November 2008 and to the Wikipedia community, I recognize I bit a newbie WP:DBN. I choose to learn from it. I restored 2 out of the 3 edits I undid. I'm sorry. Hugh ( talk) 20:21, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Hugo D seems to have have a bias. The reference to bacon is unverifiable--the Sun Times article does not exist--and offensive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.251.33.44 ( talk) 14:39, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

An interesting article on local politician Bernard Stone. Being in local politics myself, I hope I did not learn to many bad tricks from studying this article ;) Well, anyway, let's get to it:

I am concerned about close paraphrasing and copyright violations in this article. A number of examples are listed at Template:Did_you_know_nominations/Bernard_Stone. Examples as close as this one:

Stone's tactics are unlikely to dim Braun's rising star
Chicago Sun-Times (IL) (Published as Chicago Sun-Times) - November 7, 1988 Author/Byline: Steve Neal Page: 21
State Rep. Carol Moseley Braun, the Democratic nominee for recorder of deeds, is likely to make political history in Tuesday's election by becoming the first black to win countywide executive office in Cook County....
Like Epton, Braun's Republican opponent, Ald. Bernard L. Stone (50th), is a serious and purposeful legislator who abandoned his better judgment to play racial politics. Earlier in the campaign, Stone told reporters he didn't expect their newspapers to endorse him. "Just run a picture of Braun," Stone said. "That's all I ask."
Disappointed that few people were focusing on the racial factor in the recorder's election, Stone went for the backlash vote by taking the politically unusual step of featuring Braun's photograph in his own campaign literature. The Stone literature also highlights Braun's opposition to the death penalty, an issue that has nothing to do with the recorder's office, and links her to former Mayor Washington.
Since most Cook County voters are white and Braun is black, Stone and his advisers thought that distributing Braun's photograph was a clever trick. A prominent GOP committeeman said he urged Stone to use Braun's picture. But when asked about his campaign flyer, Stone insisted to television reporters that he wasn't being cute by printing Braun's picture next to his own....
It's certainly much better than it was, but there continue to be some problems here: compare for example "arrested and charged with improperly steering primarily Indian and Pakistani voters toward casting absentee ballots for Stone" with "arrested Monday and charged -- along with another man -- with improperly steering primarily Indian and Pakistani voters toward absentee ballots for Stone". Of course the use of offline sources will hamper comprehensive checks. Nikkimaria ( talk) 03:09, 14 August 2015 (UTC)
Given the improvements made I'm now comfortable keeping this as GA. However, HughD, given that you stated your earlier inexperience led to the problems here, I would strongly suggest you revisit your previous work to ensure it is copyright-compliant. Nikkimaria ( talk) 19:05, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
