Removed the following Zirkle entry from main [[Vets for Freedom]] until it can be more accurately connected. Wade Zirkle's name is Wade Denman Zirkle, an obvious relation, but he is not William Wade/William Denman Zirkle, who may be his father/grandfather/uncle, etc.:
:Zirkle, who is currently referred to as Wade, seems to recently have abandoned using a more formal William Zirkle, possibly William Denman Zirkle. FEC receipts for an October 21, 2004 $2000 contribution to "Bill Jones for U.S. Senate" by a William Zirkle of Edinburg, VA. William's employer, USMC (United States Marine Corps) and his occupation, "Military Officer."[http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Image:7296.gif] Jones, a Republican, received another $2000 contribution three days earlier from a "William Denman Zirkle" living at the same address in Edinburg, VA; thought this lists his Occupation as President of Shenandoah Valley Holdings LLC.[http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Image:7455.gif] The "Jones Senate Victory Committee" additionally received a $10,000 contribution the following day from "W. Denman Zirkle" of the same Edinburg address. No employment information is given for this receipt.[http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Image:7374.gif]
:In addition to political contributions which appear to distroy Zirkle's "non-partisan image," searching under this new name William and William Denman Zirkle turns up yet more interesting information. SEC filings reveal that W. Denman Zirkle owns 126,666 shares of the company Pacific Ethanol, Inc. Meanwhile, William Wade Zirkle owns a much smaller 16,666 shares of the company.[http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/778164/000101968705000837/pacificethanol_8kex2-2.txt]
===Response: TruthAbove===
His name is William Zirkle [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Image:7296.gif]. It is harder to tie Denman to him than William. There is not reason he cannot be William Denman "Wade" Zirkle. Though, I believe most probably is William Wade Zirkle. See edgar filing.
:However, here in SW we cannot assume facts not in evidence. The similarities between individuals' names is not sufficient to make the claim that W. Denman Zirkle and Wade Denman Zirkle or William Denman "Wade" Zirkle (which is pure speculation) are the same person.
:Additionally, official campaign records dating to 2005 for [http://www.vpap.org/cands/cand_vendorssvcs2.cfm?ToKey=COM01029&CycleID=2005&CycleType=Regular&ExpCode=U101 Kilgore for Governor] and [http://www.vpap.org/cands/cand_vendorslist.cfm?ToKey=COM01104&CycleID=2005&CycleType=Regular Gilbert for Delegate] both identify Wade Zirkle as "Zirkle, Wade Denham". There is no ambiguous initial W or a William to be found here, nor elsewhere in any articles relating to him or quoting him in 2004 or 2005.
:When evidence is found proving otherwise, then we can clear this matter up. [[User:Artificial Intelligence|Artificial Intelligence]] 15:19, 12 Jun 2006 (EDT)
