Articles of note

Ms. Alexandrovna is an impressive journalist and I like her writing and reporting. Nonetheless, as a Wikipedia editor I think that the list of "notable" articles has grown beyond the basic limits of notability. In fact, this is beginning to resemble a CV. Until an article achieves recognizable noteworthiness, like making a big scoop or winning an award, maybe it shouldn't be added. I presume that the writer has a website with a full list of her articles, so a link to that site should suffice for listing all of the non-award-winning pieces. Cheers, -Willmcw 09:17, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to clean this page up and get rid of many of the articles in the next few days Lukery 05:30, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ms. Alexandrovna is an impressive self-promoter with a few devotees committed to spreading the word.

Dubious claims, sources

Other than the shared initials, how is Raw Story a "Reliable Source"?

"Articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy."

"In general, the most reliable sources are peer-reviewed journals and books published in university presses; usually followed by university-level textbooks; then by magazines, journals, and books published by respected publishing houses; then by mainstream newspapers."

That said, why should this article cite unverifiable biographical claims which are based on her Raw Story & Personal blog profile? For that matter, she admits to writing under a pseudonym, claims to be a published poet (doesn't this require a publisher who is identifiable?) If a publisher can be identified than it should be cited. If it cannot then this claim should be removed. 98.221.28.244 (talk) 01:23, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have made alterations to the article based on the WP guideline for biographies of living persons, "Remove unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material immediately if it is about a living person, and do not move it to the talk page"

I removed several of the unverifiable biographic claims which should be verifiable before they are included. e.g: Can anyone even find any evidence that "The Cleveland Review" was more than a pamphlet? A google search only yields the following reference to a "non profit poetry tabloid" circa 1992.

That said, many of the purported "details" that come from the her Raw Story profile have problems like this.

I also struck out other verbiage which seemed problematic (weasel words, POV issues) so that the article's usual editor can see the original context.

There were also a number of self-referential sourcing of citable sources, e.g., citing Raw Story to report what the Washington Post reported, etc. This is especially suspect since the title of the cited Raw Story articles is itself the statement of a conclusion that may or may not be supported by the original source. e.g: "Washington Post *Confirms* Raw Story claims, etc. i.e, The referenced articles do not seem to do any such thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.221.28.244 (talk) 03:43, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from the article

this article is okay, but it needs a lot of work. I started to reformat it.I moved this section from the main page:

===Interviews of note===

John Conyers

Nuking the Spin: Scott Ritter series

Conversations with Machiavelli's Ghost: Michael Ledeen series

Ambassador Joseph Wilson, see also: Plame Affair

Note: it is in the Wilson interview that Alexandrovna suggests the involvement of John Bolton in the Plame leak:

"Bolton’s senior advisor and sometimes chief of staff, Frederick Fleitz, was on loan from the CIA’s Weapons Intelligence, Nonproliferation and Arms Control Center. During a Senate Foreign Relations round table discussion, Fleitz described one of his duties to the Bolton office as '...liaison function for the Agency and Mr. Bolton.' This puts Fleitz or might put Fleitz inside Valerie’s circle."

In talk show appearances, Alexandrovna has described the leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame as operating in two parts: the front-end sell and the back-end leak. The sell, she argues, is from WHIG to Judith Miller to media and press. The back-end leak is from Michael Ledeen, John Bolton, Fredrick Fleitz to State Department.

Dodgy dates

In the introduction - "She has served as the Managing Editor of Investigative News of The Raw Story for the last three years..."

Shouldn't actual dates be used here? I have no idea when that was written. Just my two cents. Have a nice day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.102.59.64 (talk) 22:37, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
