thread_title: plenty of highly POV comments in this article

message: I've removed the section about all women shortlists as I think it is unbalanced and POV. It mentioned that the courts decided that all women shortlists contravened employment law, but not that they have subsequently become legal again. I think it is worth mentioning in the article that she was selected from an all women shortlist, but discussion of the legality and merits of all women shortlists should be left to the all women shorlists article, rather than duplicated over and over again on the articles about every woman selected by the method.

replies: text: I disagree completely as do others. The fact she was on an all women shortlist is highly notable and the fact that it was an illegal shortlist is more so. That the shortlists are now temporarily legal is interesting, but irrelevant to the specific case of Merron as she has never had any involvement with any such legal shortlists, only the original illegal ones. Therefore in previous discussions it was agreed to only have information directly relevant to the person in question, information about the shortlists becoming legal five years later are therefore in the All Women Shortlist article only. The real problem is that the AWS article isn't up to standard yet and needs more work - I will try to get round to it soon, though would appreciate it if others help too.--Shakehandsman (talk) 14:52, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the section saying that all women short lists are illegal because it is simply no longer true, to claim that the all women short lists are illegal would be giving the public false information. Since 2001 they have been legal so it they are not "temporarily legal" either.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.147.41 (talk) 12:51, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: POV

message: I've written about a number of local campaigns that Gillian Merron has notably been involved in- I felt it was an important aspect of her work that was previously missing from this article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomfromlincoln (talk • contribs) 15:51, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: They read like adverts - are you linked to Gillian in some way? I note that the Labour membership secretary for Lincoln has the name Tom--Shakehandsman (talk) 06:28, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Local campaigns

message: Taking
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gillian_Merron&oldid=347041784
as the reference point.
If there's to be a Local campaigns section, there needs to be way of weighing statements like "Merron fully supported the campaign" and "Gillian Merron also got heavily involved in the campaign". Is "getting involved", making 1 phone call, and "getting heavily involved", making 2 phone calls? 
Someone emboldened the title of David Maclean's bill, but didn't explain how Ms Merron felt that the provisions for personal information existing in the Freedom of Information Act 2000 were inadequate.
"Most notably, Merron has voted for equal gay rights, the hunting ban, foundation hospitals, a ban on smoking in public places, the Iraq war and laws to stop climate change."
"Most notably"?These appear to be the party line.
