Talk:Political Appointments System

Section of salary comparisons
I have temporarily commented out what I feel to be a problematic section with regards to WP:NPOV pending a fix or access to the actual source. I consider the section is highly problematic as the comparisons are not attributed but need to be to stay within policy; ditto the other criticisms and comparisons. I do not have access to the source, as the article (curiously) does not appear to be in the print version. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:08, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The idea of NPOV is to express all views. Good or bad. The source is available online. Whether it should be mentioned, doesn't matter. You can equally find sources saying the people complain about it being a waste of tax payer money.  That shows the same meaning. Benjwong (talk) 03:58, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have put it in plain English. I'm not saying I object to the comparisons, or noting there have been criticism. These are opinions and value judgements, and I just want to avoid it the opinions looking like syntheses. Also, when citing comments, we are supposed to avoid weasel words. So, we need to put who criticised, and to a lesser degree who compared those salary levels. Ohconfucius (talk) 05:51, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Source
The source talks in general terms about the high overall level of salaries, and does not mention the specific salaries. Ohconfucius (talk) 05:31, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
