Untitled[edit]

Mykuhl (talk) 22:20, 2 July 2010 (UTC) There is no mention of the credit card spending controversy, is this been considered not worth-wile mentioning, or does it fall outside some guidelines?[reply]

You can add that to the article if you wish. It needs to be done in a balanced way, factual, from a neutral point of view and supported by an inline reference. Schwede 66 22:38, 2 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

General elections[edit]

Brown lost the 2004 mayoral election. Why then add that "Despite his affiliation with the New Zealand Labour Party since age 17, Brown did not run for election in the 2005 General Election, and instead returned to working for Wynyard Wood"? He was not involved in national politics, and being a Labour party member does not automatically mean that he would stand in the 2005 general elections - 99.999% of Labour members did not.Royalcourtier (talk) 07:29, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
