Talk:University of Manitoba Students' Union

message: This section was getting pretty bad, and I have moved it to the talk page in order to give people a chance to edit it into something a little more reasonable before we move it back onto the official page. I'm not even sure it needs to be on the UMSU page; it's mostly just a series of complaints about the last election and attacks on Sran, and is getting more than a little aged. I've moved the actual section into a subpage at University of Manitoba Students' Union/Sandbox, so it doesn't unnecessarily mess up the talk page. Crigaux 20:06, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Remove bias from 'Election controversy' section 

message: I have heard rumours that the Winnipeg Free Press, which was running an unfavourable article on Sran, was not available at the University of Manitoba Fort Garry campus on Election Day. I would like this to be added to the election controversy section, if there are no objections. It is controversial and students are talking about it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ACinfo (talk • contribs) 20:41, March 29, 2006
I haven't heard anything about that happening... you would likely need a source to put that on. (P.S., please sign your posts!) - Crigaux 01:49, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I feel that the page as it is currently is turning into an article on Sran. While he is the current President, the page is about UMSU, not him. Additionally, it seems as though the page is turning into a politically-motivated attack on him, which, I believe,  would violate the WP:NPOV policy. As an example, the sole cited evidence for allegations of his actions at the ASBC are copies of the minutes, and quotations therein. Using minutes (a primary source) violates the WP:NOR policy, because providing interpretation and context for the minutes constitutes original research. Additionally, no alternative perspective is presented, and the selections from the minutes are quite short and could well be taken out of context. I am considering deleting some sections of the text that seem to violate these policies, but I will hold off for awhile to give the writer a chance to respond. Crigaux 22:32, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I feel that the page as it is currently is turning into an article on how wonderful UMSU is. Apparently it is the shining ideal towards which all student unions should strive. Why is the answer to "too much on Sran" "get rid of all references to Sran and any wrongdoing"? There's also no history, or specific information about the governing slate or its opposition. If I wanted an article that appears to be written by an UMSU official, I'd go to their website. Benito.cereno (talk) 20:08, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Election Controversy 

message: There have now been two anonymous users who have removed UMSU's affiliation to the Canadian Federation of Students from the infobox, so I'm taking the conversation here. To my knowledge, there has been no move toward disaffiliation by UMSU. I fail to see how the presence of CFS representatives on campus, as noted by one of the IPs, implies that UMSU is no longer an affiliate. Any thoughts? Graham (talk) 18:29, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
