Hi,
There's been some talk about the use of citations as
sources and evidence. I
think we are treading on very thin ice here. For
example, I am not a big fan
of George W. Bush. I even have two books, "The Bush
Dyslexicon" by Mark Crispin
Miller and "The Lies of George W. Bush" by David
Corn, which lambast him
based entirely on his quotations. While I happen to
like the books, I would hardly
base an article on them--if I did, I would be
attacked for bias and POV, even
though all of the quotations are well documented. We
have to be very careful
here.

I'm not sure which articles these are, but if you have
a list or something, could you contact the author(s)
and ask them to find the original source of the
information (ie. where those books got the information
from)? That kind of book usually does almost no
original research and is very well-cited.
If that is impossible, you could just prefix the
sentences with stuff like "Many believe..." to give it
an NPOV.
