Any chance you can tidy up the Conservative Friends of israel page and add a sentence at the beginning?

Not sure what you mean about dead links and summarising? No need to summarise the profiles at the moment . I think just get them up fo just now and tidy up the other corprate wones --David 09:24, 29 Jul 2006 (BST)

superfluous

>>Unless there is something in the biography that is particularly revealing, reproducing extended biographies defeats the whole purpose of having a profile. The idea should be to provide condensed factual information that highlights possible conflicts of interests.<<

Hmmm: but there is so little info on Lappen, that the little officially recognized info is worth putting in Spin* -- especially since this type of info is volatile -- i.e., in a few weeks you will see that it is either changed or removed (very common)... as such, keeping the record of these things is valuable.

>>The bios on Lappen & Vallely are in my view mostly superfluous.<< The Vallely one? There virtually no info there -- and again the official record of the bio is useful... About Lappen... I eliminated a bit, but the experience at SW* with this bio indicated that the only things that remain are those that are sourced

>> Secondly, on the Palast profile, I think you can summarize the nature of his attack on Gallowy without editorializing on Galloways stance on the war<< Well, on the one hand you want me to summarize things, and on the other you call my summaries "editorializing". Make up your mind.

And: FEEL FREE TO EDIT THE ARTICLES YOURSELF IF YOU THINK YOU CAN IMPROVE THEM. I would not be offended if you did that.
