Recentism, POV

I agree with the tag on this article. Way too much WP:RECENTISM and WP:UNDUE focus on the twitter controversy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, WP:NOTNEWS. This is also not a place for soapboxing or to right great wrongs. Please tone things down, and keep them high level. Jytdog (talk) 02:47, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

COI

There also appears to be COI editing going on here, per the tags I have placed on the article itself and here. Not pretty. Jytdog (talk) 02:49, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

edits today

OK, this article is about the office, not any given occupant, per se.

It had become bloated with WP:PROMO for Marin for sure. With the conflicted editors under notice and independent editors watching, that should end. If it comes back, there is ANI and blocks for conflicted editors.

With regard to the Marin controversies, the content duplicated almost word-for-word the content in the Marin article. We do not do that in Wikipedia. The material goes in one place; the other gets a summary, per WP:SUMMARY. That is what I did. If anybody here gives a flying fuck about the actual subject of this article, it needs a lot of work and sourcing. Way too much unsourced content describing the history, the original scope, etc. This is what happens when people come to an article with a COI - the mission of WP is lost and we end up with shitty articles like this.

Good idea. Even without the doubled shittiness, you're right about this article being about the office. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:57, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ombudsman page fairing better

Ontario Ombudsman page seems to be doing better in comparison to a related article involving a living individual, thinking of adding a list here of reports when I found out how, not sure if it's okay to link to outside sources for the reports themselves.

Both articles have suffered from your agenda-based editing but are in decent shape right now. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 17:03, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
