Passionate debate
editTo the prolific IP from Tempe, please respect the BRD process and don't edit war. Our neutrality policy dictates that we follow the sources, applying appropriate when when there's a conflict among them. In this case there's no conflict however. The cited CNN source says there was a passionate debate. Therefore, we say there was a passionate debate. We generally try to avoid removing content based on neutrality concerns. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 05:42, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- "Passionate debate" is a value judgement. How would you measure or demonstrate its passion? How would we quantify it? What is the threshold for passionate versus something else? Wikipedia is committed to a neutral tone. We use facts from the sources and we don't allow their editorializing to come through. If this were a useful opinion to have in the article, I would say WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV. But in fact it is not useful. It merely serves to damage Wikipedia's neutral tone. Take it out. 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 05:47, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- There is no requirement that content be quantifiable. "Passionate" is not an opinion. In fact, it's a fact.
News articles do not editorialize when they include adjectives like "passionate." The journalist applied her professional judgment to describe the debate, and the description passed the editor's review. We include information like this all the time across the encyclopedia. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 06:04, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- The Washginton Post describes the debate as "national" which I think is (a) factual and (b) descriptive. How about that? 2600:8800:1880:91E:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 06:09, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
- Sure. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 06:22, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Candidacy for Montgomery County Council
editThis paragraph was recently deleted (Personal attack removed). Meitiv is running as the "free-range mom" so her candidacy is directly related to these incidents. (Personal attack removed)
Danielle Meitiv, a climate scientist,[1] declared her candidacy for an at-large seat on the Montgomery County Council in July 2017.[2] She has since been endorsed by the Sierra Club,[3] the Maryland/D.C. AFL-CIO,[4] and National Nurses United, among others.[5]

- If there's a verifiable connection between her campaign and the incidents that are the subject of the article, then I'd support the addition of some content. The endorsements aren't noteworthy. --Dr. Fleischman (talk) 06:55, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
