Hi Adder06, welcome to SourceWatch. A few notes on your changes:

a) the protocol at SourceWatch is to post a note to the talk page 9accessed by clicking the 'discussion' tab) if significant changes are made - such as deleting material. This way other users can follow what the reasons are for the changes and decide whether to let them stand or not. As far as I can see there was no valid reason for the deletion of those reference links on the Steven A. Boylan page. But if you disagree, feel free to post a note here.

b)I shifted the "then" you added so that it was outside the quoted text - otherwise it would be changing a quote from a news story.

c) you posted text from an email. At SourceWatch we aim to have all material referenced as far as possible. The problem I have with leaving in on the article page is that, as it stands, it is unreferenced. If the email ion full is not elsewhere on the web, perhaps you could email me the original so I can check it. My email is at the foot of the page. Even if the email is accurate, I'm not sure there is a lot of value in posting it in its entirety, though perhaps adding a little more context for the original AP quote.

I look forward to hearing from you --Bob Burton 14:02, 13 December 2007 (EST)
