Talk:Greg Nickels

message: This guy is not a popular mayor.  He's basically using environmentalism to mask what is essentially a power trip.  This article should be expanded to highlight some of the controversy surrounding this mayor.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.121.106.8 (talk) 20:47, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Controversy 

message: Is it me, or does this article seem to only focus on the opinions of Nickel's supporters and not on his opponents? He does have opposition; the goofed monorail project, the Key Arena debate, his stance on the viaduct/tunnel, his policies on homelessness, and, of course, strippergate. I don't really see much of anything in regards to his unpopularity in the article, and it seems a little off being it's well-known that he's not everyone's favorite mayor. I put up the NPOV to get a debate-of-sorts going about this kind of concern - any thoughts? Editor19841 (talk) 23:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lack of both sides 

message: It is incomplete and coincidentally the omissions are in Greg Nickels' favor.

thread_title:  should be expanded 

message: This BBC article covers the details of the local efforts to implement Kyoto, at least from Greg Nickels' point of view. --Brianmc 10:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comments on climate change 

message: I think this article should be expanded, and of course that should be balanced expansion, but as is I'm not sure it should have a tag disputing its neutrality. Do others still see a need for the tag? Just because there is more factual positive information than negative does not mean there is an NPOV violation. Thoughts? Benzocane 23:29, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it does tend to focus on the positive aspects of Mayor Nickels. The only thing negative is his son's indictment. On the other hand, the person that left the tag didn't explain themselves as required, so it can be removed. --Bobblehead (rants) 00:24, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree and have removed the tag. Of course if there is relevant material regarding opposition, it should be added. It seems to be more of a stub issue  than an NPOV issue at this point! Benzocane 01:37, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Actually, there was only one reference in the entire section and that one was an extremely minor "controversy".  Please read WP:RS and WP:BLP before adding them again.  Controversies and criticisms of Nickels should be included in the article, but they should be added in a manner that complies with Wikipedia's policies, particularly WP:BLP and WP:NPOV. --Bobblehead (rants) 16:45, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Neutrailty tag?

message: Okay, a blog by one of the writers in The Stranger -- something that didn't even appear in the print edition -- should not be given the same weight as a series of articles from The Seattle Times.  No way.  And the defending sentence is far too weasel-ish with the "some" line.  I'm going to try to source some more of the criticism, and I'll lay out the line of thinking for the city officials involved...but at this time I think the article's giving way too much space to the untenable opinions of the city, and (specifically) Nickels.  He's hugely unpopular right now because of this issue, and it may even deserve a separate section. ColorOfSuffering (talk) 00:24, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
