Issues to be mediated[edit]

Primary issues (added by the filing party)
  1. Philafrenzy feels that information regarding Honeywell’s political donations and its PAC are relevant for inclusion on Cote’s BLP, in addition to charting the donations out over his tenure. I disagree because it conflates the actions of the company and its PAC with the individual, who is clearly not solely responsible for the actions of the company. As I see it, it’s a violation of WP:SYNTH, especially when combined with the graph created by Philafrenzy.
  2. Additionally, the Attitude to deficit reduction section obfuscates whose opinions are being shared by quoting one opposition leader alongside Cote and an anonymous lobbyist as well as uses a sole source’s interpretation of Cote’s quote as authoritative.
Additional issues (added by other parties)

Parties' agreement to mediation[edit]

  1. Agree. FacultiesIntact (talk) 05:14, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Disagree. Sorry but this has already been discussed at length on the talk page where a number of other editors have given their views. FacultiesIntact is a paid PR man for the article subject and therefore cannot be a good-faith participant in any mediation process as they are inherently biased in favour of their client. I suggest they return to the talk page. (P.S. I didn't create the graph) Philafrenzy (talk) 09:24, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
