Talk:Antanas Mockus

Untitled

This is a heavily problematic Wikil. It has severe problems in terms of both content and form.

It appears to have been written by someone with direct political interests in Mr. Mockus political projects. The Wiki is interested mainly in pointing out some of Mockus supposed achievements as Bogotá`s mayor. The information included in this effort is heavily biased, it has an excessive use of adjectives, strong arguments with little or no back up and it provides information without quoting the sources. The links provided are political sites and political blogs, all supportive of Mr Mockus, they provide no useful information.

Other problems refer to the lack of political context, the political stances of Mr. Mockus in a vast array of issues etc.

It shall be noted that Wikipedia is not an advertisement service and it should NOT be used as a tool for political propaganda. Unfortunately this Wiki is one of such cases. ==

Here is a reference for Antanas Mockus http://www.hno.harvard.edu/gazette/2004/03.11/01-mockus.html . I assume that the above contributors write what they wrote because it looks so unbelievable, it is however true, its not propaganda. I think most of his political stands are in the article. He did belong to any of the three main political forces (Conservative, Liberal, PDI (left-wing)) and as such his political stances and issues are somewhat unorthodox -- 70.45.166.124 (talk) 21:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

The dates of his two terms as mayor have to be specified.AtomAnt (talk) 19:36, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Education

Is there any available information about Mockus' education? I have heard that he is a "doctor"; does that mean he has a PhD? Marzolian (talk) 20:27, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Bogotá Change

Has recently starred in the documentary Bogotá Change, which is about him and Enrique_Peñalosa's works as mayor of Bogotá. The two have been promoting the movie, most recently at BIFF in Bergen, Norway.

Mooning?

Is there a reason that the mooning incident is not mentioned? It seems like this was a critical moment in his transformation into a public figure. Ean Schuessler (talk) 18:06, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
