Talk:Marcus Stephen

Number of votes
In this article it says "On 3 May 2003 Stephen was elected to the Nauru parliament with 215,278 votes in the Anetan constituency". In the main article it says the population of Nauru is 13,005. Something correction required? --mgaved 07:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Only solution: snap election?
On April 18, 2008, declared a state of emergency and called a snap election to end months of political deadlock. --Florentino floro (talk) 07:18, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

POV issues
The sections on recent events appear to have been written by a contributor who has very clear-cut political beliefs regarding the conflict between Adeang and Stephen, and who has sided with Adeang. I'll be monitoring this article for further POV edits. I've done a bit of cleaning up, but I'm still not fully happy with it; it still reads with a noticeable anti-Stephen bias.

 * This part of the opening paragraph also bothers me:
 * ruling constitutionally with the support of Parliament until March 2008, and by decree until the elections of April, 2008, when a constitutional base of support in Parliament was reestablished.
 * It states implicitly that Stephen was governing unconstitutionally for a while. That's simply an opinion. Adeang accused him of doing so, but that's all (and the Supreme Court ruled that it was Adeang who had acted unconstitutionally!). Any suggestions on how to rephrase it?

Since nobody has commented, I'm removing those lines from the article. Aridd (talk) 20:15, 21 June 2008 (UTC)


 * After quite a long time of personal views remaining in the article unsourced, with tags, I've removed them. I hope I've done so objectively, and in accordance with the Biographies_of_living_persons policy. Aridd (talk) 13:13, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
