The discussion of the Critical Mass incident has developed a POV problem IMHO. "celebration of cycling" reads like something out of their press releases. Opponents say it less a celebration of cycling than a condemnation of the automobile. Michael Hopcroft 00:15, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
What party is he in? Democratic?
Clean up edit
This article is mainly unsourced and most of it can be removed per WP:BLP. Additionally, the lead needs to be re-worked with much of the info moved to other sections once sourced. Aboutmovies (talk) 20:18, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
Party edit
What is his political party? Badagnani (talk) 04:02, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- City offices are non-partisan. Aboutmovies (talk) 04:04, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
- OK, but it seems as though it might be important to at least mention his party somewhere. I would assume he's a Democrat, but I really don't know. StanHater (talk) 06:45, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
- All political offices are non-partisan though usually not the office-holders. Potter is no exception: he is indeed a Democrat. Str1977 (talk) 12:41, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
Biased, unsourced article edit
This article uses biased, POV wording, as if one of his supporters wrote this article. Additionally, there are numerous paragraphs that are entirely unsourced. This article needs a major overhaul. --1990'sguy (talk) 21:08, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
