Frank Feighan Wiki

This page, as it was, is rather damaging and biased against the person involved and or his political party due to the selective nature of topics mentioned in the political career chapter and how they were presented.

Why you would suggest that edits about the results of his elections and the preference votes he obtained, his new office location and the fact that he has been elected in two different constituencies is biased and unrelated information is quite interesting to say the least.

However, the main points in the original piece, whilst in my view clearly biased against the person, have been left unedited and only additional information about these two selected topics has been provided in order to provide a reader with greater clarity on the issues originally included. They were included to provide a reader with additional information on the two points raised to let the reader make up their own minds. Is that not fair instead of just reading what you believe to be allowable? The additional information provided are facts and have been referenced from many different Irish news articles that were included. Why would they be removed?

As the edits have been twice removed, it is clear in my opinion that there may be another agenda going on here. As a result, I am using this mechanism in the first instance to resolved the situation.

I am requesting that these edits that have been made be returned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.19.140.22 (talk) 19:14, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved this discussion from my talk page. What is it exactly that you are objecting to? It seems like a case of 'I don't like it'. Reminder, this is Wikipedia not Feighan's own website. Please, don't throw around accusations of an agenda, when clearly your agenda it to present Feighan in the best possible light and remove any material that you deem offensive. Also, you are very possibly the subject or an associate, so you continue to breach WP:COI. Spleodrach (talk) 10:46, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There was no such effort to remove any content or to 'remove any material that you deem offensive' as you have stated. What I have attempted to do is to simply add balance to the articles that have been included on his wikipedia page and also to provide background to his political career.

Nobody is suggesting that it is his own website, however, the way that this wikipedia is now left, unedited, focuses solely on two key events in a 20 year career and the fact that they are now not being allowed to be edited is in my view quite telling. There was alot more to Frank Feihan's 'Political Career' than just Roscommon Hospital and comments on Brexit.

I'll ask again that they be returned to this page without further delay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.19.140.22 (talk) 15:58, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
