Apparently the non-NPOV problem persists. One user is particular seems to be the source. JaimeTorres 21:55, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article seemed to have been edited by an activist for Fossella's opponent. The opponent was promoted as someone who will soon enjoy great support. In addition, there were unnecessary non-NPOV statements implying that Fossella was out of touch with his constituents.

An example: "This means Fossella supports tax cuts that benefit few residing in the largely middle class district while cutting programs the benefit most of his constituents."

Another: "Fossella's council service was marked by a lack of interest in the concerns of commuters in his district."

The article was primarily a commercial for Vito Fossella. Removed superlatives, inappropriate neutral language, and anything smacking of an overt political advertisement.

out of curiosity, how can "neutral" language be inappropriate in an article on a politician? 153.104.16.114 06:26, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
