Edit of this date edit
I have done a series of edits to make the article more encyclopedic. These include creating standard Early life and education and Personal life sections, moving content from various places into these, as well as (i) some edits to section titles to shorten and make wikipedia standard, (ii) some additions of [citation needed] inline tags, where quotes or other sentence content were ambiguous or unsourced, and (iii) noting that the DOB provided, as well as other information is unsourced either in main body or lede. All for now, Cheers. Le Prof 50.129.227.141 (talk) 19:03, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Lack of Talk section regarding NPOV, close association issue edit
Because there is no Talk section containing discussion regarding the purported close association of an editor that is contributing, with the article subject, I am removing that article tag. If there is substance to the matter, present it here, and (only then) return the tag to the article. Le Prof 50.129.227.141 (talk) 19:03, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
- After returning to read, I believe I may have found the source of complaint of the original December 2015 editor that added the "too close to subject / NPOV" tag—the article reads like a summary judgment of the title subject, based on the news reports (rather than on the scope of his formal censure by his Party). Repeated emphases on all the newspapers carrying stories have been removed (there were two lists, at least). A tag has been placed on the section containing allegations.
- Please note, the denials from the article subject that are presented do not cover the same accusations as the bulleted list; this, at its face, gives this section the appearance of being unbalanced/opinionated reporting. For this reason alone, it is justifiable that the NPOV tag appear.
- Moreover, the very strong allegations listed (felonious act after felonious act) must be checked against the sources appearing, to be sure they are completely accurate to the sources. This is a BLP article, and this is very dangerous territory, for editors here to take any liberties. The accusations must match the sources precisely, in wording and tone, and not be in the least ways overstated.
- As each allegation bullet is checked, the [verification needed] tag can be removed. When all allegation bullets are checked, and a full case regarding the denials of accusations made by the subject appear (e.g., including the bullet on purported sexual assaults), the NPOV tag for the section can be removed.
