This article requires a drastic tidy-up, firstly to bring it up-to-date, and - more importantly - to comply with NPOV. It contains no reference to Smits' controversial pronouncements on topics such as sexuality <http://www.365gay.com/Newscon06/12/120406latvia.htm>, and is rather overly-laudatory. I think it needs to be re-written, probably from scratch. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.111.8.97 (talk • contribs).

The #Politics section of the article is a copypaste of [1], added on User:Prilonsk99 0’s edit. Since then it has received minor edits (e.g. bold font and addition of full stops), but the content is nevertheless identical. —LOL 14:13, 10 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Janis Smits redirects to this page, but the politician Janis/Yanis Smits of the Politics section of this page was born in 1968, so he can't be the same person as the Rev. Dr. Yanis Smits who was active in Latvia between 1956 - 1976. Also, look at the photos: they look completely different. --Zsebenci Klopédia 09:18, 7 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
