Re: Helena Guergis

I'm presuming from your approach to editing that you are actually Helena Guergis. My concern is your contributions to your page have been written in the first person, have had limited-to-no sourcing and in many cases represent your opinions rather than sourced facts. One example of this is when you added "A little about this process, it does not adhere to the most basic of Administrative law principles. In fact, most people are disturbed when they learn about how arbitrary it is. It completely ignores the election process that determines who is the candidate - illogical": - The detail is inserted completely breaking the flow of the paragraph on a tangent - "Most people" is an unsourced claim unsupported by an actual poll - "illogical" is an explicit opinion and has no purpose in an article with a neutral perspective - The entire argument is fundamentally your argument/perspective not properly structured to reflect that it is your perspective. If it were presented as the response given by your office with reference to a public statement, that would be a reasonable citation - You broke a reference tag

(Also, calling "acting upon electoral expedience" a process is rather generous)

While I see from the talk page that there's been a lot of criticism of the article for relying too heavily on tabloids and one sided, responding with personal rebuttals rather than addressing underlying quality, balance and sourcing of the article is problematic. Worse, it is making the article difficult to read as it shifts from 3rd person analysis to 1st person responses - which greatly reduces the overall quality.

Reviewing Wikipedia's policy, it does not forbid working on articles about yourself and does recognize the natural desire of people to fix what they perceive to be false claims or address what they perceive to be biases, but the standard practices of sourcing and at least attempting for a neutral point of view are still supposed to be respected to the extent possible --Forgottenlord (talk) 04:31, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
