I edited this page rather poorly
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montel_Williams
After the page was taken down three times, I finally won the right to post on the wiki.
I'm needing a ton of help here to keep it going.
This is how we should change thoughts. I can think of of a ton more small facts than can be thrown out to make a huge difference.

Whoa. I've been a member of this forum for 4 years, and I had to do that to publish an url
This is not the correct way to raise your post count, and all such posts are being removed. In future, keep some content in your posts.

Basically Bob here is editing a Wiki page and from the history of talk it seems that he is trying to add stuff about Sylvia Browne which is being edited out for NPOV issues.
So it would seem anyone more familiar with editing a well-formed Wiki page would be able to assist and I believe that is what Bob is asking for: assistance.
Because Bob, no offence, seems to have some difficultly being completely clear with his use of English.

Actually ...
Bob having all the facts cannot leave the Montel Williams page there without a controversy section. My attempts have withstood the NPOV temporarily, but I know that it will not sit that way for 24 hours. Poor formatting aside, I ask that all the **** that I have thrown on the wall will be spackled in by people who know the truth as I do.

They can.

So? NPOV is core wikipedia policy. Fighting it is pointless.

You need to show relivance and source your stuff from what wikipedia would consider a reliable resource.

Did you add that bit about his short career as a rodeo clown prior to his first year in television?
