[edit] Reason for this page
The page Plame affair is way too long, and it has been strongly advised that it be split up. This conspiracy theory page seemed an easy part to split off. Personally, I don't believe a word of these theories but that's irrelevant to what an editor does rewinn 16:18, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Title?
This is a horrid, POV title, for the record. I'd think Alternate theories regarding the Plame affair would be useful, if anything at all. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:31, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- I don't disagree. I was following the style of September 11 conspiracy theories on the (possibly flawed) idea that the POV-ness of such titles would already have been worked through. But it may not be so. I do suggest that the page title start with "Plame affair" to assist searches. rewinn 16:34, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, I do think there's a distinct difference between 11 Sept theories and Plame affair theories, given their respective roots (or lack thereof) in reality. Perhaps just Plame affair theories or Plame affair alternate theories is workable? They both seem kind of clunky to me. --badlydrawnjeff talk 16:37, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'm completely agnostic as to the title. Anybody wanna change it, go ahead! The title's gonna be clunky because it's really a subarticle to Plame affair, which is having to be split up for size. As part of facilitating the split-up I'm trying to be as NPOV as possible but I'm only human, so your view on this is probably correct. rewinn 16:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Tagged WP:BLP. This "article" does not conform to WP:Reliable Sources.--NYScholar 20:50, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clean up (in progress)
I've worked on cleaning up this article to correct some problems, but the sources listed mostly still as external links in the notes need to be re-formatted into proper notes format. I hope other editors will step up to fix these remaining problems. It is still unclear whether or not this article is really necessary, since so much of if not all of this article is already included in the main articles cross-referenced in it. --NYScholar 07:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
