`  == symms civil rights ==   (I'm pinging you as I don't know whether this is on your watchlist on not), original research is material for which no reliable, published sources exist – are you suggesting that the New York Times is not a reliable source? It's the paper of record, man. How is that not reliable. The Associated Press is a reliable source as well. Also, it isn't our opinion, it's the opinion of ``liberal opponents`` as I noted in my edit. I'll remove the ``terrible`` part and just put ``criticized by liberal opponents for his civil rights record``, if you believe that will make it NPOV. Also, it isn't synthesis if I'm stating material not published by one of the sources. Symms himself even gave a reason for voting against a civil rights bill because, in his words, ``It's just another layer of the federal government that we don't need`` and that free market should determine how many housing units there are for disabled. I didn't state anything not explicitly stated by the source. I stated ``criticized by liberal opponents``. Indeed, in one of his liberal opponents, Marilyn Shuler of the Idaho Human Rights Commission, stated that ``I'm saddened that, once again, Sen. Symms has chosen not to support civil rights legislation.`` I believe my edits were entirely sound. I'd like to hear an argument for why they weren't, but I'd need to hear it quickly.   `
