[edit] scaring Gilder out of his apartment
"In the 1970s, Gilder worked as a spokesman for the liberal Republican Senator Charles McC. Mathias as anti-war protesters surrounded the capital, some eventually scaring Gilder out of his apartment." What? He never left his apartment before? This incident needs to be expanded to explain better what it means. GangofOne 21:25, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disc Inst. origins
"He helped found the Discovery Institute with Bruce Chapman. The organization started as a moderate group which aimed to privatize and modernize Seattle's transit systems but it later became the leading think tank of the intelligent design movement," That's not the impression I get from the Disc. Ins. article about transit coming first. Maybe it's right tho'. These articles should be uniformized and checked for historical correctness. GangofOne 21:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wealth & Poverty
Very biased article. Almost completely negative and full of unproven criminal allegations. No mention of his classic work Wealth and Poverty, one of the most influential conservative books of the last century. Also, what is this "tried to learn how to write" nonsense. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Corlet (talk • contribs).
- Why not add something to the article instead of just complaining? GangofOne 08:46, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
It appears that your sources are all anit-George.
[edit] Reads like a hatchet job
Communicates very little about who the person is, instead providing just gathered dirt and anecdotal crimes in the style of the SPLC or a typical "enemy's list" biographer. Pervasive jaundiced tone, e.g. summarizing the NYT Book Review letter as "expressing sympathy for supporters of Islamic Jihad against the West" -Housewares 06:24, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikify template
Is the wikify template still needed? It was added in October 2006, but in its current state, the article has plenty of outgoing wiki links. Ehn 19:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
