TPM on publicist-like content[edit]

According to this, this page keeps violating NPOV with publicist-like quotes. In one case I found a paragraph had been lifted whole from Lazio's campaign book "Building a Better New York". Could someone semi-protect this page?--Tagus (talk) 05:57, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Electoral history lacking[edit]

This page only shows the electoral history for Lazio's Senate campaign and does not include his race for the House. Could someone include the results of his House race? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.71.134.207 (talk) 16:39, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, it's lacking that and the 2010 results. So add them yourself, that's how it works around here. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:51, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Slanted bio of Rick Lazio[edit]

Apparently partially written from a biased point of view, esp. the section titled "Service to the Financial Industry." It appears to be a bit of a smear, not unbiased information.

Neutrality of "Political Positions" Section[edit]

This section appears to have been written by the 2010 Lazio campaign. It is entirely unsourced and uses Republican buzz words. It needs to be cleaned up and sourced in order to meet NPOV guidelines.

Yes, that section was completely worthless, suffering from POV issues, weighting issues, and recentism. I've removed it. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:51, 29 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
