Issues to be mediated
[edit]- Primary issues (added by the filing party)
- 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.
- 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)
- Additional issue 1
- Additional issue 2
Parties' agreement to mediation
[edit]- Agree. FacultiesIntact (talk) 05:14, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
- 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)
