It's good to see you taking an interest in that one - that editor is well-intentioned but needs some more direction to tone down the opinionated mess.

:Humph. The article looks pretty horrible, TBH. Sourcing is kind of okay, but whether our text matches what is claimed in the sources is another matter. Hansard should be used very sparingly, otherwise what the MP says gets cherry-picked and reinterpreted, and the editor thinks they've got some ironclad authority. Hansard just records what the MP says, in all its opinionated glory. What we should have, for NPOV purposes, is for each sentence to have three sources.

It's good to see you taking an interest in that one - that editor is well-intentioned but needs some more direction to tone down the opinionated mess.
