  • "Dixon will have the advantage of incumbancy, but she is also embroiled in an ethics scandal..." I don't think this is the place for speculation. royblumy 19:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Both of those claims are taken directly from the Sun story linked to at the end of the article. If you can think of a more encyclopedic way of putting it, go ahead, but it's hardly "original research." It's a fact that Dixon's office is being investigated by the state prosecutor; saying that said investigation could have an effect on her campaign strikes me as common sense. --Jfruh (talk) 19:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, I didn't look at the Sun article. "Embroiled in an ethics scandal," however, is something that might be acceptable for journalistic writing, but it's not quite kosher for an encyclopedia, is it? That said, I think Wikipedia disputes are silly, so I leave it up to you to edit and expand as you see fit. royblumy 23:52, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

References

I noticed there are several articles linked to, but they are not referenced specifically in the article above using inline citations. Also, try to avoid using the Baltimore Sun as an online source, because they are notorious for having dead links within a few weeks for their website (I know this is difficult, but try some other Maryland papers as well). --tomf688 (talk - email) 03:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All the quotes are directly from the Sun articles; I'll add the cites. Yeah, I know they'll go behind the wall soon... not sure how to get around it as the Sun is going to be main source of info on this. --Jfruh (talk) 03:54, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

seems like this page hasn't been updated in a while, and as of right now, it seems to be a 4 person race: Frank Conaway Senior, Andre Bundley, Keiffer Mitchell, Sheila Dixon and Sheila's the front runner as far as money goes: http://www.examiner.com/a-748049~Dixon_s_campaign_reaches__1_million.html Attgig 05:22, 29 May 2007 (UTC)attgig[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 03:06, 14 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
