Lol, you can edit anything you want as long as it follows the guidelines

The website certainly isn't meant to bring out all the good stuff in people. It's meant to show the darker side of politicians. If someone has an empty page (except for their short bio and committee assignments, of course), that just means they haven't done anything corrupt, but it doesn't mean they're good or bad.

A few of us have had conversations about what to do about people who haven't done corrupt things, but are known to be full of shit. It's a conundrum, but being full of shit doesn't NECESSARILY mean they're corrupt (it just usually does). But since everything has to have a source, I think it'll keep the articles honest and then it'll just be a matter of making sure personal opinion doesn't leak into the articles themselves (and also make sure people don't start deleting parts of articles they don't like). It's still way to early for that to be a problem, but eventually I think we'll have to force registration and possibly take further action to make sure that people aren't going through and taking out information that is true.
