viewpoint - which simply doesn't fit with the way
Knowledge works. That's seen broadly across many users; it's always difficult to provide an objective viewpoint when you're too close to something; the origin of the phrase "can't see the wood for the trees". I bet that any edits you made about your non-political interests, hobbies and so on would be informative, because you have proved that you're trying to provide comprehensive and useful information. For example, your edits to the page on Bulwer-Lytton expanded the article hugely - unfortunately that came up against copyright law and was reverted (The first line below the edit box states "Content must not violate any copyright and..."), but from your response higher up this page, if you hadn't been put off by that reversion you would have continued to make useful edits to similar article. That's hugely appreciated and fully in the spirit of wikipedia, your only stumbling blocks are the rules and guidelines that have had to be put into place to prevent edit wars by conflicting opinion, or avoiding the infringement of Knowledge on the copyrights of others.
214:
left as a good articles was that it was more in the style of a biography than an article; on almost every article about a person here, the article is about their achievements and notability rather than their background, hobbies and relatives. Of course there will always be a blur and the argument that follows about what's considered notable and what's not, so there will always be examples that some people find notable and others not.
193:
Similarly from your comments on
Margaret Beckett's talk page; both commenting on someone's appearance and stereotyping a political party with "interesting facial features". It's completely irrelevant to politics, and your dislike of the article's subject does not justify an irrelevant and irreverent comment for the rest of us to see. If you dislike her, then dislike her. It's not something that works on an encyclopedia page.

279:
synopsis of the major points of notability at the top, and the more detailed information through the article; your edit is pretty close, but including the date of birth and death in the first few words seems standard (though I can't honestly say why other than tradition). Lineage is probably more suitable lower in the page than in the heading unless the relatives are also notable.

There’s no rush, I'm not standing for an election till 2007 (or even 2008 if its decided to change

Hi. I noticed your query on

Please stop adding uninformative personal attacks to articles pages. Your comments on for example Ian
Mccartney today - "extremely overweight" is presumably offensive to him and uninformative to the rest of us. If you have a figure, then put that in. This is an encyclopedia structure, not a blog.

Thank you for your interest in adding information to Henry Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron

Several of your edits have the potential to be terrific, adding informative contributions - but because they are tainted by the bias of immersion, they are reverted. Since you seem to near-exclusively make edits on topics from a part of the world you are immersed in, you have a very subjective

As your article was deleted with an Afd not a speedy (ie people voted on it) I think it would be a candidate for speedy deletion if it was creatred again right now. What I suggest is that we wait at least until after the election (I am assuming you are up for election). See

I'm stunned. This is fantastic - there's a huge amount of information going in here; a quick skim just to check shows it's not copyvio too. I don't know anything about the subjects so can only hope that evil streak of yours isn't putting in errant stuff too ;-)
