Why NPOV?
Could Jnestorius or other editors clarify why exactly they find this article non-neutral? What specifically is the NPOV issue? I'm interested in helping to fix any such issues, but I don't personally see them (though I am not an expert on the person in this entry, who I only heard of 2 minutes ago).

 * Just scanning the article, I see there are still lots of non-neutral and/or unsoruced statements: e.g. "She championed sexual rights and health movements...", "Patten remains a prominent critic of the proposal...", etc. But it's more than individual phrases, it's also the weight given to certain things, such as the Sex Party's performance at the 2010 federal election. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StAnselm (talk • contribs)


 * OK thanks for the clarification. It almost sounds like you think this article is self-promotion, right?
 * I just cleaned up the Sex Party section, removing some language and adding a news source for her 2009 founding of the party. Though it's unclear to me whether/why you might think there's still too much weight given to the 2010 election. Could you maybe take a look at that section now? What do you think?

 * As there's been no further arguments about POV I've removed the tag. --John B123 (talk) 08:37, 31 August 2019 (UTC)
