WL requires good references and not links to rumors in blogs and facebook pages. Get a good source for the blood test results. Also Viagra has other uses then just erectile dysfunction, is it likely? Yes, but we need good references that the blood test actually showed the medication and we need to know what the medication was used for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kilowattradio ( talk • contribs) 12:28, 4 July 2011 (UTC) reply

The abortion subject has nothing to do with the DUI incident. Mixing the two in the same section doesn't seem apporiate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kilowattradio ( talk • contribs) 00:47, 6 July 2011 (UTC) reply

The Viagra information is contained in the AP story published in the Chicago Tribune, a reference that Chinacat7 has repeatedly removed. Skywriter ( talk) 11:57, 17 July 2011 (UTC) reply

The material citing the Chicago Tribune was removed due to inaccurate reporting.— Preceding unsigned comment added by NTLwr12 ( talk • contribs)

The Chicago Tribune article was not accurately represented in previous versions. That reference was removed in accordance with the standards set by Wikipedia's Biographies of Living Persons. Chinacat7 ( talk) 15:40, 18 July 2011 (UTC) reply

Kilowattradio has erred in deleting commentary about these events.

When the Associated Press reported this story, it quoted the Ohio director Kelly Copeland. Editors at The Chicago Tribune, the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the AP decided the material Kilowattradio wants deleted is relevant. I've been away for awhile but unless something drastic has transpired in the meantime, Wikipedia is not in the business of censoring viewpoints. Skywriter ( talk) 21:11, 6 July 2011 (UTC) reply

Chinacat7 has repeatedly removed references to Chicago Tribune and other stories about this subject. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Chinacat7

Chinacat7's sole contributions to Wikipedia is this sanitizing activity. Skywriter ( talk) 11:55, 17 July 2011 (UTC) reply

FYI, Chinacat7 put an entry on WP:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive123#Robert Mecklenborg. Davemck ( talk) 16:04, 17 July 2011 (UTC) reply

The information was removed due to an insufficient reference. According to Wikipedia's regulations, such material is to be removed immediately.— Preceding unsigned comment added by NTLwr12 ( talk • contribs)

References to the Chicago Tribune and other stories were removed due to inaccurate reporting. Such material must be deleted immediately. All deletions were made in accordance with Wikipedia regulations. Chinacat7 ( talk) 15:46, 18 July 2011 (UTC) reply

Chinacat7 cites no "regulation" or "regulations" to support the above statements, which are false. The Associated Press and the Chicago Tribune are well-regarded sources of information for Wikipedia citations. It should be again noted that Chinacat7's only activity on Wikipedia is to sanitize this article by removing well-sourced references from it. The same is equally true of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/NTLwr12 who has absolutely no history on Wikipedia except the removal of references from this article and only this article. This is a splendid example of how Wikipedia is manipulated for political gain. Skywriter ( talk) 20:24, 18 July 2011 (UTC) reply
