This article sounds like it was written by a Karygiannis official!

What specifically do you have a problem with?  I tried to *avoid* anything that would sound POV when I wrote my contributions to the piece.  
(Btw, I considered adding the fact that Karygiannis won a Hill Times "worst MP" poll a few years ago, but I couldn't find a weblink.)  CJCurrie 20:36, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Or better yet, don't.  This is board for discussing the encyclopedia article, not a place to air personal grievances.  CJCurrie 03:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I hope that this edit isn't a sign of things to come on this page.  The Manual of Style for Macedonian naming conventions is (i) only a proposed guideline, (ii) focused on general on-wiki naming conventions, and (iii) has nothing whatsoever to do with JK's use of a disputed term.  In fact, I see that the MOS makes no comment on whether or not "Skopjan" should be considered offensive.  CJCurrie (talk) 00:26, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Macedonia again

message: How come this article is getting all the attention for something Karygiannis didn't even say? The article on Jason Kenney doesn't even mention this incident. EncyclopediaUpdaticus (talk) 13:15, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Good question. I certainly think the "Karygiannis vs Kenney" section is imperfect in its current form, being too reliant on coverage from a non-neutral and non-objective source (ie. the National Post). I also think we may be devoting too much space to the matter. With that said, JK's defense of the CAF is noteworthy, particularly as he was one of the few politicians to defend this (unfairly demonized, IMO) organization.

thread_title:  Karygiannis vs Kenney 

message: Lists profession as "Industrial Engineer", but as far as I know Karigiannis is not registered as an engineer anywhere in Canada.  Studying "industrial engineering" does not make one an "industrial engineer", as there are additional specific requirements, in addition to education, that are required before one can call themselves an "engineer" in Canada. I suggest removing reference to Industrial engineer as a profession unless someone else can provide more complete information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by WeTim (talk • contribs) 18:30, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The "Controversies" section of this article is rather obviously in violation of Wikipedia's NPOV policy. I've already removed some of the most egregious problems, but there are still issues having to do with slanted phrasing ("In July 2012, Karygiannis caused a diplomatic scandal [...]"), undue weight, unnecessary detail, and relevance (the details of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, even if accurately reported, are hardly relevant to Karygiannis's biography). On a more fundamental level, I'm not certain that having all of this information in a separate section is (i) necessary, (ii) consistent with NPOV, or (iii) beneficial to the article.
I'll try to improve the section in the near future. CJCurrie (talk) 00:19, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Without providing some insight into the history of the conflict, it becomes unclear why Karygiannis's visit was controversial. As for the relevance, I am positive the section should be kept. Karygiannis has been criticised for controversial actions since the onset of his political career; they have come to define him as a politician and have become an inseparable part of his biography.

message: Someone put Scarborough Centre as his ward, in fact it is Scarborough-Agincourt. JK represented Scarborough-Agincourt Federally, then Scarborough-Agincourt (39) for one term (and Norm Kelly representing Scarborough-Agincourt (40) for a long time) then when Ward Boundaries changed, JK represents all of Scarborough-Agincourt municipally.
Scarborough Centre is Michael Thompson (Municipally).
