I tend to agree. Unless we consciously do it the same number of times for each candidate running - someone may say we are playing favorites. Also, given our 501c3 status (not so much that we are breaking rules as hassle of people claiming we are), commitment to neutrality, and increasing desire to engage in public policy - not sure it is worth it.
I think as the election nears, talking about general bipartisan aspects of the elections is safer - like the general election debates (which are expected to draw a lot of SM traffic). Maybe the conventions if both are done equally - but candidates are a bit murkier. That said - as a policy wonk - I appreciate and applaud the desire to engage on that topic. :) -greg _______________ Sent from my iPhone - a more detailed response may be sent later. > On Oct 19, 2015, at 11:27 AM, Tilman Bayer <[email protected]> wrote: > > I don't think @wikipedia should wade into elections and primaries by > highlighting particular facts from candidates' biographies.
