Imagine that.

It seems to be missing from wiki too.

Somebody removed it from Wikipedia a half-hour ago.

I've put it back.

Really? Are you serious UT? That is so lame.

most interesting - I wonder why the fact that he is a Democrat would be repeatedly removed?

Apparently at least one AP story mis-identified him as a Republican.

His screwing a teenager was way too embarrassing for the Democrats.

They don't want people to focus on the double standards. The press does it as well.

They argued that the office of Portland Mayor is non-partisan. They argued that I didn't have a cite that he was a registered Democrat. They argued that it wasn't relevant to the first paragraph.

I found biographical information on Sam Adams' Portland City Council website that showed that he'd been working for Democratic concerns for 20 years. I put an additional detail into his "early life and career" section.

I didn't do it to be political. I did it because it's factual information and should be in the article. And, really, it should be at the top of the page. The Wiki page for the mayor that he'd worked for previously, opens with "Vera Katz is a German born Democratic politician in the U.S. state of Oregon".

Seems to me that you did it because it was the right thing to do. The more that they resist that truth, the more credibility they lose. So far, they've lost a lot.

Ok, someone tell me, was he a Demoncrat? because the press have not mentioned his political affiliation.
