TNR says that Malley 'is not and has never been a Middle East adviser to Barack Obama. Obama's Middle East adviser is Dan Shapiro.' However this is not quite the same as 'foreign-policy adviser', which is the article's wording. What's the truth?— ZephyrAnycon ( talk) 18:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I wrote up the controversy that broke about May 10 and made it the second paragraph, stating in my edit summary back then that the topic was important "now" but later on may not be. I think we should continue having that paragraph up there for a while longer, and so after an editor moved it down, I've just moved it back up. The reason is that the controversy has generated a ton of interest in the article from readers, with traffic stats going from 10-56 page views from May 1-8 and shooting up to 710 on May 9 and continuing in the days thereafter at more than 300 per day (see here). It seems to me to be useful to have something about this at the top (for one thing, it confirms for readers that this is indeed the person they were looking for; it's also good to have a neutral summary of the incident for those who only know about this from some opinion piece or worse). So I think the paragraph is important enough to stay up there for a time. Why don't we keep it that high until traffic stats go down to, say, 100 a day for a few days? I assume that'll take about a week. Let's serve the readers. The incident is important right now in understanding the subject. Noroton ( talk) 21:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Again: we are not wikinews - the intro is not supposed to summarize "prominent news" about someone, it is for an overview. I moved the paragraph to "Career" where it belongs. Tvoz/ talk 21:33, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

A recent edit adds an article by the subject of the article while removing a claim that his father was Jewish that is backed up by said article. Meanwhile, I presume that given his recent security clearance revocation and claims he was an Iranian spy ( Tablet Magazine source) his own writings (such as said article) are not reliable sources about anything.
