Talk:Blair Wilson

message: I deleted:
:Blair narrowly defeated Mr. John Weston in the race for MP he lost just over 1%! In early polls Mr. Weston was seen as if he was going to win. Alot of NDP voter stragticily vote for Blair just to keep the Conservatives out.
This is not correct.  Weston lost by about 1.5%.  Early results in this riding always swing around a lot due to the huge differences in demographics in different parts of this riding -- nobody seriously thought Weston was going to win based on a few polls reporting and actually Blair took the lead quite early in the night.  Despite many people urging strategic voting by NDP supporters, it does not appear that this was a signficant factor.  In 2004 the NDP had 13156 votes, in 2005 the NDP got 12766 votes.  For a difference of 390 votes, Blair won by 986 votes.  It should be noted that in 2004 the candidate was a more prominent candidate (who is now the MLA for a portion of the riding) whereas the current candidate was virtually unknown before the election and that could easily explain this small difference in votes more than strategic voting.  -- Webgeer 18:35, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

It is also Wikipedia official policy to adopt a NPOV. It would also help if users sign your talkpage edits. Luke 05:26, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well I'm not really interested in getting in an edit war, so I'll just leave this alone and let someone else figure out what should be done with the article.  If I was going to get into sematics I would point out that 1.5 is actually 50% more than 1.-- Webgeer 06:20, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm actually quite interested to know where you heard/read that he went to Afghanistan. I haven't heard/read anything of the sort. It could be something to include in the article. Luke 07:56, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: ? some one seem a bit stupid today

message: I feel like a lot of this article is poised to present Mr. Wilson as a man filled with issues with the law and private persons. Therefore I believe this article needs a POV check as well as some reorganization. The article appears a bit jumpy between information, and perhaps subsections should be created. I'll attempt to get a free image for the article shortly.
Furthermore, perhaps it'd be wise to disclose on the article that various news organizations in Vancouver have slandered Mr. Wilson, and their publications were subject to bias (after all, they had 21 untrue allegations that eventually attributed to his lost seat). —Forgott3n (talk) 03:58, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've gone ahead and got a bio picture for the page. I've also changed the page from a POV check nomination to a NPOV dispute. —Forgott3n (talk) 17:03, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nomination for a POV check 

message: I feel like this entire article has been written with bias, as some users appear to have had some politically charged motives or slants. This entire article portrays Mr. Wilson in a particular light that does not abide by Wikipedia's standards. The paper, The Province, used as a cited source appears to have continuously slandered Mr. Wilson with no less than 24 allegations. Most of which have been resolved by Elections Canada to be untrue. I believe that this article should be rewritten from the angle of a living person who served time as a government official in variety of political parties and make mention of his controversies with the paper. —Forgott3n (talk) 17:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV dispute 

message: I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
::This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now.

Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:29, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
