[edit] Biased concluding paragraph?
It seems to me that the last paragraph is strictly POV, and could be argued against pretty easily (i.e. that he did more harm than good to his community, and that the reason stricter-language laws were not enacted has nothing to do with the absence or presence of vocal activists amongst anglo-Quebecois).
I believe the section should be removed.

- Sviau, please stop putting that last POV paragraph back in. Wikipedia is not a place for political commentary. Read the Neutral Point of View section if you want to learn more about this. Repeated attempts to circumvent will be reported as vandalism. Archiesteel 21:45, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Probably written (vainly) by Howard Galganov himself
This is one of the most biased articles I've seen since I discovered Wikipedia. Automatically assuming that Québec's language laws are unfair, it aims to portray Howard Galganov as an intrepid hero defending the rights of a persecuted minority (English-speaking people,) while francophone Quebeckers make up only 3% of North-America's population?
The entire article should be removed or rewritten (and not by a member of a Québec anglo-rights lobby group)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Galganov-bookcover.jpg
Image:Galganov-bookcover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:45, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
I reverted all the edits by User:Galteglise because they were no more than an unsourced rant with massive POV against someone this "new" and short-lived editor obviously doesn't like. D. C. Thomas 21:03, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
I put back some of D.C. Thomas' reversions to keep some of the events that were removed (i.e., New York speech, the store, running for office, etc.) If you would like to add sources, please do so (the version reverted to also had none). I felt the previous versions of this article were too POV because they left out events in Galganov's activism that did not go well, and mentioned unverifiable things that had little to do about Galganov's notable activity (e.g., his reaction to the FLQ in the early 1970s, an apparent possible audit.) If you feel the text is too POV because it is too negative, please feel free to alter it, but wholesale reversions throw the baby out with the bathwater.Galteglise 00:14, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
