Talk:2013 Christchurch mayoral election

Christchurch mayoral election, 2013
If this page was last up-dated on 7 September 2013, why are only two candidates named? E.g. why is Hugo Kristinsson not listed?

These are the current candidates for Christchurch City Mayor: •Blair Anderson (Another MildGreen Initiative) •Victor Cattermole (Independent) •Kyle Chapman (The Resistance Party) •Lianne Dalziel (One City Together) •Tubby Hansen (Economic Euthenics) •Sammy Harris (Independent) •Hugo Kristinsson •Paul Lonsdale (Independent) •Robin McCarthy (Independent) •Brad Maxwell (Independent) •Rik Tindall (Independent) •Peter Wakeman (Independent)

This page has been put together by the ChCh Press as part of their anti democratic strategy to manipulate the voting public of Christchurch. They monitor it daily to make sure the truth about the top two contenders is never told. People should reject the ChCh Press and reject all the companies that advertise in the Press. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.25.52 (talk) 08:24, 28 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, isn't that an interesting suggestion? Let's analyse this. Firstly, it's a simple matter of checking the edit history of this article to see who is doing most of the editing, and what we find is that it's Schwede66 (that's me). So, is Schwede66 working for The Press? It shouldn't be too onerous to find out what an editor's contribution history is and this page lists it all - a good 250 articles created on New Zealand political history, biographies, heritage buildings, some Christchurch topics, and some current events. So I'm The Press - yeah, right.


 * So let's see who is hiding behind the 124.197.25.52 IP address. A check of the user contributions reveals an August 2013 edit of the autobiography of Victor Cattermole, and four edits of this article regarding content of Victor Cattermole, one of the mayoral candidates, with an attempt to change the content (sourced from earlier editions of The Press) from something that is somewhat critical of his actions (but fully referenced) to something which is entirely positive but unreferenced. Well, Wikipedia doesn't work like that - it's an encyclopedia and content is supposed to be referenced. But there is a high likelihood that the anonymous editor is either Victor Cattermole, or acting on his behalf.


 * What can we conclude from this? The accusation of me working for The Press is entirely inconsistent with my edit history. It would have been extremely easy to find that out, and the editor thus shows that he is not capable of doing even the most basic of analysis. The accusation also demonstrates a belief in conspiracy theories. So if this is indeed Victor Cattermole himself, we can thus be grateful that opinion polls have him in a distant third position.

Why do you remove the information regarding Dalziel with respects the the criminal charges and child molestation matters? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.25.52 (talk) 22:06, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Additions need to be in line with Wikipedia policy and what is most relevant here is that, given we are dealing with BLPs (biographies of living people), anything that is controversial needs to be supported by a reliable source.  Schwede 66  04:21, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

Your sources are not reliable so I am putting you on notice that I am notifying the Press Council and intending to pursue defamation procedings against you if you continue to post slanderous statements. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.25.52 (talk) 09:26, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
 * The Press is considered a reliable source. Since you have chosen to take legal action, you may not continue to edit Wikipedia per WP:NLT until this matter is resolved. Accordingly, I have blocked your IP address from editing.- gadfium 19:15, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
