[edit] Personal Biography Dispute

Is Wikipedia really the place to copy and paste Congressman Gohmert's official biography? This biography is written by his staff and created to be favorable to him. It is not impartial in any sense. While some of the points within the biography may be good to bring up and be cited from that biography, shouldn't this entry be more biographical and less partisan? 66.76.225.39 18:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Concerned Regarding Impartiality

I certainly don't disagree, some of the politician articles are a bit slanted, and this certainly reads like "official bio". Wikipedia has an official policy, Neutral point of view, that this article seems to violate. There are also mechanisms for marking articles that lack neutrality, see Template:POV. Feel free to rewrite the article to be more neutral; I'll mark it as not neutral (since as an anon user, you're relatively unlikely to actually see this).--studerby 20:28, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

The longer bio was made neutral and posted last week, but someone deleted it anyway, and tagged it as "vandalism." Seems that deleting a neutral bio without reading it is vandalism. I am not going to repost it, I will leave that to the "keepers of Wikipedia" to do if they are interested in correcting their mistake/vandalism.
