[edit] NPOV

This article currently reads like campaign literature. janejellyroll 00:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Is it even notable? Hawker Typhoon 00:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't seem so to me. What hit me on first reading was the POV problems. What is the precedent for members of state House of Representatives? janejellyroll 00:37, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I think that a sitting representative is relevant info, hey how bout the robbery that happened at his house, I know it isn't breaking news or anything, but he did manage to keep relatively composed and everything, I think it is a bit more interesting in general than taking down a couple of pictures.

[edit] User talk: Whitegrrl

Whitegrrl, the editor who created the page and has made most of the edits, works for the representative. I have urged him/her to read our relevant policies (WP:COI and WP:NPOV). My specific concerns are the peacock terms that are only sourced by the subject's bio page ("successful," etc) and the non-encyclopedic content like the "Greatest Father" information. I'm not sure it is appropriate for Whitegrrl to continue as a major editor of the page at this point as appropriate tags are being removed and inappropriate information keeps being re-added to the article. janejellyroll 03:21, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I do not plan to be a major editor of this page but having stumbled across incorrect information I have used this site for the first time to remove the incorrect information and provide more accurate information about the Representative. Whitegrrl 05:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Many apologies but I jumped in before reading policies and instructions. I will not be making additions or changes after now.Whitegrrl 05:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
