[edit] Political parties

'That have been able to find' is not a fair standard, also do you propose to link to all local organisation on all pages about settlements? I dissagree that political parties are relevent. Linking to the council or a local MP I would agree with but this would belong on an articles titled Politics in Wimbledon etc --Nate1481( t/c) 11:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC) p.s. sorry I was writing this response and hadn't saved it.

I'd support linking to the Merton-connect page, as it covers all of the current ones and isn't directly promoting any of them --Nate1481( t/c) 11:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Anthony. The reason I deleted the links that you added was that they only covered one party. As Nate1481 has already stated, wikipedia aims for a neutral point of view and a link to just one party is not neutral and could be seen as promoting one political agenda in preference to others. I personally don't think that there is a need for links to political parties to be present in the borough article. To improve the NPOV for the Wimbledon (UK Parliament constituency) article, I have added a link to the sitting MP's site and converted the links that you added to references. We thus have references for candidates for the three largest political parties - this though could become an untidy mess, and distract from the main thrust of the article, if multiple links to all parties are added and should that happen I will probably delete them all. --DavidCane (talk) 23:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
