Appointed something...
The article stated: "Between 1885 to 1889 and again from 1991 to 1928, he was appointed to the district of Lens-Liévin."

I took it out though, because it does not make sense in two places. First, 1991? (I changed this to 1891, but I'm not sure if this is correct). Secondly, he was appointed what? &mdash;Daniel Vandersluis(talk) 14:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

POV tag
This concerns POV tag cleanup. Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it. This permits discussion and consensus among editors. From WP tag policy: '''Drive-by tagging is strongly discouraged. The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Simply being of the opinion that a page is not neutral is not sufficient to justify the addition of the tag. Tags should be added as a last resort.''' Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements. This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags. No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 19:49, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
