It seems to me that the article shouldn't say that every female candidate endorsed by Palin is a "mama grizzly" unless she specificly said so about that person. Isn't it possible that she could endorse someone for something other than the person's mama grizzlyhood? (p.s. The world-wide, and more scholarly, name for the animal is brown bear. Grizzly is the nickname for the more common North American subspecies.) Kitfoxxe ( talk) 00:12, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
I'd like to add a little background info (one sentence) on what a grizzly bear is. For one thing although Americans (and Canadians) know this, readers in India or Australia maybe do not. For another an encyclopedia does have an educational mission and if a person learns something reading an article (in this case about a species of bear) that's a good thing.

I beleive the entry for Angle is incorrect. See the following pages: no endorsement in September, Palin speaks in Reno (or any other news site reporting on that speach) and Palin mentions Angle on Facebook -- Sig11 ( talk) 11:26, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
I deleted the Palin-backed women candidates in 2010 section with its table of images. The text in that section -- "it is not known how many are considered "mama grizzlies" " says it all - no reliable source, BLP issues, etc. -- Uzma Gamal ( talk) 11:38, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
I found that this article was generally full of excessive, irrelevant detail and that in some cases, the text was not verified by the sources given. Perhaps this occurred because much of it was written in the heat of the election season, but no matter what the reason, the article needed a re-write. I am entering my changes paragraph by paragraph, so they can be readily seen. Most are pretty basic, and uncontroversial, but of course, I am assuming a certain level of good faith and reasonableness on the part of the other editors here.-Regards- KeptSouth ( talk) 11:03, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
