Talk:Nick Palmer

message: Although generally a good, well-referenced article, there are a couple of slips where it starts to sound like a political leaflet:
"He is a diligent constituency MP, engaging with matters of local concern"
How do you objectively evidence that someone is a "diligent" MP? Perhaps he is known as a diligent MP (citing a source that says he is) but otherwise, can I suggest we drop this phrase? AndrewRT(Talk) 22:18, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weasel, bias 

message: What class do you think this article is? It's clearly no longer stub class, but I was wondering whether it Start, B or even Good Article? AndrewRT(Talk) 22:48, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article class 

message: I can't see how quotes such as: 'Labour stands for sustained, planned development of affordable housing with good public transport available, not for rewarding speculative greed' add value to this article.
Quotes need to be distinctive and say something novel, these don't.

replies: text: This quote relates to a hot issue in the constituency - a plan to develop lots of housing upon green-belt land.  Dr Palmer's views on this matter are a matter of public debate and so notable.  I agree that we need more in the article to make this context clear and will endeavour to provide more details and sources.  Colonel Warden (talk) 09:20, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  If these quotes were in the text as examples of NP's views they, in general, would add value to the article. A list of mostly bland quotes don't.
Something on the lines of: 'Palmer has done a lot of work trying to protect the Green Belt in his constituency even raising it with the PM' is better than a political soundbite like Labour stands for...'

text:  This article is still too much of a Palmer propaganda leaflet in places, it should stick to facts. I removed "He regularly canvasses the area" since I have lived in the constituency for over 10 years and have never seen him.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.243.220.22 (talk) 15:08, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quotes 

message: Firstly, the previous edit was just a reorganisation separating politics from much less notable private life and hobbies.
I want to add some numerical material relating  to the constituency as phrases like This steady hard work need either to be in quotes or to disappear.  
The cook book was removed by dashbot. Two other images of mine with a similar fair use license have also gone in the last month.
