Not neutral
I have added a POV tag, words like gerrymandering, controversy and embroiled are being used in the most recent additions, by a user who's name may suggest a bias. There are references but they don't seem to use weighted words like above. I don't know the subject well enough to rectify this. Bevo74 (talk) 12:52, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I concur with Bevo 74's view and I'm removing the offending bits for blatant POV; these are all legitimate points for discussion, but wikipedia is supposed to reflect WP:NPOV, not be a forum for blatantly partisan talking points. Using words like "Gerrymandering" and "Fraud" is sub headers is blatantly WP:POV, and this section is shot with rather breathless use of POV language.


 * The referencing is terrible here too - the reference which allegedly supports continuing failings on the part of the Executive is to an opinion piece on the Slugger O'Toole blog; the reference to u-turn is to a BBC news article which makes no claims of a U-turn; the reference allegedly supporting Ford nominating himself for the Ministry actually links to an article (dated 8 February 2010) which says the reverse.


 * There are certainly legitimate grounds for discussing all the topics here, but this is very poor and bits of it verge on actionable. I've removed the section added by Song.for.the.Republican.Convention; I'm sure someone can do better.  194.32.31.1 (talk) 14:03, 9 March 2010 (UTC)


 * User Song.for.the.Republican.Convention has only ever made 3 edits, all on this account. You can read what you want from that.  194.32.31.1 (talk) 14:07, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
