Images

The copyright status on the two images (particularly the first, which actually has the caption as part of the image) seems questionable to me. Everyking 11:30, 14 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Both photos were downloaded from Chip's official house.gov website and are therefore in the public domain. This work is in the public domain because it is a work of the United States Federal Government under the terms of Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 105 of the US Code. Dr. Watson 13:43, 14 October 2005

I edited the first photo, the public domain image of Congressperson Pickering. I cropped the inappropriate wide red border and abbreviated the original text caption, which was overly wordy and too small to read. The resulting 'product' is factually accurate and more aesthetically suited to Wiki's format. I place this image in the public domain. - Leif Oldhart

I suppose it would be obvious that the congressman (being a southern republican) would be the white guy, but I still think the caption might mention which one he is.

What does the cited "fact" that Trent Lott is a 33rd degree Freemason have to do with Chip Pickering? This whole article appears to be biased against Congressman Pickering.

I would agree. I have looked over this article in the course of an academic project, and found numerous instances of extremely biased wording. I will continue to watch this article and revert edits, if necessary, to prevent bias and unsubstantiated accusations. I considered the paragraphs on PAC and Oil money and pressure on drug regulators to be too far gone, and edited those out -- they aren't BAD additions, but someone who isn't a Pickering detractor should probably work on them to make them fair and accurate, not merely campaign propaganda. I would also add that some of the language I removed seems verbatim copy from Jim Giles' website. Wikipedia is not a campaign tool, so stop acting like it is.
