Talk:Mike Hancock (British politician)

Russian assistant
The Russian assistant section seems to be getting a bit "big"? This is wikipedia, the encyclopedia, and some of the stuff now inserted seems less "fact" based and more "gossip" based, hence more associated with the brief of wiki news. In light of the charges still being unconfirmed by the Home Office, I have resultantly paired it back. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 01:21, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The SIAC tribunal has now ruled in favour of the Russian aide and ruled that she was not a spy. That means this whole section now looks excessive and non-neutral, and verges on violating WP:BLP. It definitely needs to be pared back to a brief summary, and emphasise that the espionage allegations were rejected. Robofish (talk) 10:20, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Oops, I'd forgotten about this article. I've edited down this section a bit to remove some of the off-topic material and make it more BLP-compliant, but it's still too long. Others are invited to make their own modifications to it. Robofish (talk) 20:18, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

So Wikipedia
This article is a case in point of why Wikipedia maintains a reputation for suspect reliability.

Would there any objection if I include a paragraph claiming he has horns and a tail? Probably not.

I will avoid making the more obvious corrections myself, in case I again spark the ire of those that seek to change fiction into truth with bombast and pretentious bullying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Surfingus (talk • contribs) 09:27, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
