I'm the one who made the changes because I live in Kilgore's "neighborhood." -Amit
I have deleted the following about the Anti-Tax Movenment: "which has roots in the " Massive Resistance" against racial integration of public schools and other facilities in the 1960's." While this may be true, placing it here implies that Mr. Kilgore is opposed to racial integration of schools, etc., and this is not the case. Danny 17:09, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

I did an interesting story today for the paper on a bio on Wikipedia. Virginia is about to elect a governor, and as you can imagine tensions are high. Somebody discovered a bio of one of the candidates (the Republican) on Wikipedia that linked his name to a group that "had its origins" in Massive Resistance. Massive Resistance was an official state policy in Virginia in the aftermath of the 1954 SCOTUS decision on school desegregation. It was a repugnant policy that was overturned in 1959 by SCOTUS.
Once we brought it to the attention of the candidate's campaign, they got on the phone to Wikipedia and had it removed within about 30 minutes. Of course the whole thing started a pissing match between the Dems and the GOPs as to what it all meant. But the bottom line for me was reenforcement of the fact that Wikipedia by its very nature is not very credible.

Too bad they feel that way. The comment wasn't fair and it was weeded out. In fact, our willingness to correct ourselves like that should indicate the credibility of Wikipedia. Danny 22:35, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
You misunderstand, I think, the focus of what will be being printed. It is an article on Wikipedia's unreliability. The journalist did indeed check his source, and found it wanting. (On the other matter, since phone calls from politicians are per se coercive - representing a veiled threat to use influence or political power - I think it is best to be transparent when responding to them, even when the changes suggested are justified. (E.g.: "factual error corrected in response to phone call from Jerry Kilgore's re-election campaign"). - Nunh-huh 01:20, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
I have tagged this as NPOV and reverted some blatant POV pushing. Also whoever asserted that Kilgore will become the next Barney needs to find a reliable source. -- StevenL 23:36, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
I am concerned about the neutrality of this article on Jerry Kilgore, a 2005 candidate for Governor. Half of the page is about negative criticism on his campaign. However, his apponent and the victor of the 2005 Virginia Gubernatorial Race, Tim Kaine, has nothing but positive things on his article. I think that either someone should add criticism to Governor Kaine's page, or Kilgore's overlydramatic criticism should be scaled down.-- Ramcgl 17:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Can someone research whether Kilgore will be running against Congressman Rick Boucher (D-VA-9th). I had heard it and it should be added if its so.
There's no citation for the Gubernatorial Plan section of the article, and it's rather vague. I'm going to remove it, but if someone can back it up and rewrite it as more of a campaign platform section, feel free. ~~jag~~
The version before my edit mentioned the 2005 election once in the "Career" section and once again in the "Criticism" section. It seemed like my reformat saved space and completed the thought more easily. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Obipam ( talk • contribs) 23:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
