Very Biased
The article remains very biased, and was probably written by one of Perriello's campaign staffers. For example, there's no discussion of the controversial nature of the Obamacare bill for which Perriello voted -- the votes at midnight, the urgency, the "Louisiana Purchase" and the "Cornhusker Kickback," and the fact that polls long after Obamacare was rammed through show that most of the American people want it repealed. All relevant context is missing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.44.149.170 (talk) 04:25, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Your complaint about the healthcare bill does not match Wikipedia standards. Information about the specifics of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 are provided on those entries. Congressman Perriello had little involvement with those bills other than to vote for them and, as such, there's virtually no information to be provided here about Rep. Perriello. Also, a reading of the article's revision history makes clear that this article is the product of contributions by many dozens of people over the course of three years. If you have evidence to support your assertion about the authorship of this article (and I cannot see that you could, given your mistaken beliefs about what belongs in this entry), then please take your complaint to WP:COIN. --WaldoJ (talk) 17:54, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

This article is clearly slanted in favor of Tom Perriello. I have removed some of the language in the intro, but phrases such as "stunning upset" are present. Additionally, there is no source whatsoever about him wanting to "return America to the common good" or whatever it was he said. This was probably written by some liberal elitist in Charlottesville who has been waiting to see Virgil Goode be unseated because he is "too extreme" or a "hate monger" or something like that. I have placed a tag on the page as a result of that. HUZZAH HANUKKAH (talk) 08:51, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I have removed the tag after neutralizing the language ("surprise victory" in place of "stunning upset") and removing the unsourced statement you referred to. I hope these changes have adequately addressed your concerns.--JayJasper (talk) 16:31, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

VERY VERY biased
this is absurd. every edit i make somebody comes in and deletes it and rewords it to put the congressman in a better light. gonobo i think his name his keeps doing this. i am using objective language and checked facts...yet someone keeps doing this.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charlelacroix (talk • contribs) 20:05, 24 August 2010


 * There has been a concerted effort in the past few weeks to insert claims relating to Perriello's stance on the war that do not constitute a neutral point of view. I've reverted a number of dubious edits by Charlelacroix and 71.53.208.121, who appear to be the same editor. Many of the reverted edits were vandalism, such as changing his religion to Pagan and saying that Perriello believes success in Afghanistan is critical to winning the war on terror regardless of how many innocent women and children are killed. It is Wikipedia policy to delete libelous material when it has been identified. Let's have a neutral section discussing Perriello's foreign policy and not use this article as a soapbox. Gobonobo  T C 05:01, 25 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Unless the section discussing Perriello's foreign policy can be fleshed out to be helpful, it should be deleted entirely. At the time it just appears to list a number of statements that while perhaps based on a citation seem out of context and insufficient to describe the full breadth of his views. Unless there is anything particularly notable about his views or a major controversy involving his views that is noted in the media I don't see why he deserves a special section while other members of Congress don't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.58.200.32 (talk) 00:37, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Bias
Why is there an election box for the election Perriello lost, yet not one for the one which he won? I have moved the one box here, if someone would like to take the time to make one for the previous election, I have no qualms with it being readded when both of them are.

Column from Washington Post adding sweet detail about his life
Seems he rescued a girl from a dire circumstance in 2003. I don't have the time to add it to the article.
