Here is the current version of this section.
According to AFP, Mike Lake has called for Bigfoot to be recognized as an endangered species.
A user has turned this section into a rant against the media, claiming that AFP is biased, but without any sources. The link given is broken and appears to link to a blog rather than a reliable source in keeping with WP:RS. The editor even says "in Lake's defence", even though in his/her version any mention of something to be defended against is gone. This argument is not sourced to any source, let alone a reliable one. Then he/she refers readers to Media bias. Overall, the section is now sanitized and one-sided.
Information about this has been carried in newspapers around the world. Here is what AFP writes:
So says Canadian MP Mike Lake who has called for Bigfoot to be protected under Canada's species at risk act, alongside Whooping Cranes, Blue Whales, and Red Mulberry trees.
Unless the editor can provide reliable sources contradicting this statement, it should be reported as is. Joeldl 17:48, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Are we certain that the news sources were basing their story solely on the fact that the petition was submitted? Joeldl 10:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
