What's the big idea with Btl removing the link to Rice for President Yahoo Group?
I'm the owner of that group - and it is one of the longest established (2004) Condi groups on the web. So I don't take kindly to this censorship by whoever - Peter

Notice that there's no bolding of the defined term in the first paragraph of the article, as Wikipedia style guidelines suggest. Not quite sure how it should be done... AnonMoos 21:05, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Why is there an astroturfing link? Is there a suggestion that the Draft Condi movement is astroturfing rather than real grass roots? If so, it should be cited in the article, not just implied by the link, I think... 71.137.149.1
This article clearly has some POV issues as it reads like a promotional piece for this organization and could possibly be eligble for deltion. It only gets 404 G-Hits [1]including 2 for this article. ¡Dustimagic! ( T/ C) 06:28, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
The article has been changed significantly from a year ago. While it reports on a campaign, and campaigns accentuate the positive for a candidate, the article principally is a presentation of facts.
Seeing as there are no specific citations of POV, and the article has changed, it is appropriate to remove the POV tag. The tag was once removed, but reinstated without discussion. Ohioan1 00:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
Should this page not be merged with the Condoleezza Rice page? And if not, why not? -- Mhking 02:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
Agree page should not be merged, consistent with input from the Rice page. The Rice page refers to this article; tag should be removed. It was removed but later reinstated. Ohioan1 00:40, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
To put in my two pence worth - IT'S NOT OVER! Rice for President Yahoo Group is already a 2012 group - that is to say, campaigning to Draft Condi Rice to run for President in 2012. So factor that in guys.

This section in the article contained what seem to me absurd claims (Rice finishing first in opinion polls), and some clearly POV statements. I've removed everything except the one sentence that actually was supported by the cited source.
I ask that editors not add back information to this section unless there is a link supporting it - there shouldn't be information about "poll results" unless someone can actually point to a poll with those results, right? -- John Broughton (♫♫) 14:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
Image:Condivshilary.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:50, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Could somebody with more skill in this area tell us which are the most-trafficked of these sites, and perhaps which is the oldest? All but three or four should be removed. -- Orange Mike | Talk 18:33, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
It claims to be about the "Draft Rice" movement.. but really only talks about how Rice has said she doesn't want to run for president, mentions one or two polls, and lists "influential" supporters of a possible Rice campaign. But what about "Draft Rice"? How many people was it? Who started it? etc? There's nothing on that. Article's useless, afaict. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.132.221.211 ( talk) 14:34, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
I was part of the original draft group "Americans For Rice" we had a great website, attended political events (I was the NH Chairperson) and gave away t-shirts, bumper stickers, etc. I even involved many of the local college Young Republicans to have demonstrations on campus, etc. The group was started by Dr. Richard Mason of Florida. His efforts were incredible and even lead to radio spots, interviews and the hiring of a Professional Public Relations person with an office on K Street. The website, www.americansforrice.com eventually was changed to www.4condi.com which was available months ago, but no longer. The group was very large, we had organized groups in every State and had a booth at CPAC! Sharidemers ( talk) 00:51, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Shari Demers
