This article takes a pretty blatant POV ("legal talents", "working creatively to improve the quality of life in our communities", "instilled in Kamala a strong commitment towards justice and public service", being on a first name basis, etc etc). Reads like a political campaign ad. Sarge Baldy 09:38, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Text is copied from Ms. Harris' website
When the article was originally created by Sevenam, the text was copied from Kamala Harris' website.
As you can easily see by visiting that site (http://www.kamalaharris.org/about/biography/), there's very little there that's different from what you see here.
[edit] POV manipulations
Someone on behalf of Kamala Harris (possibly someone on her staff) keeps dramatically changing the content of this article. I recently edited the article to remove blatant POV statements, and now someone has inserted more: "veteran prosecutor," “prestigious” honors, two long paragraphs listing every award and endorsement Harris has ever received, etc. No cites or sources. And two paragraphs noting controversies during Harris’ tenure (and a sentence about outspending her opponent) were suspiciously deleted. Someone keeps editing the article to read like a political campaign ad, and Harris is up for re-election next year.
I’ve tried to clean it up and added the deleted paragraphs and POV banner. Given the political climate, I think this article should be regularly monitored for POV concerns. --CagedRage 20:46, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] And again
Found the text had been altered, apparently again since these notes show a history, to include references to Harris' crusade against "the epidemic of child prositution in the city" [fiction]. Also removed several phrases which, as others have pointed out, seemed to have come from a staffer or political campaign ad.
