[edit] Attention

The lead section contains a great deal of POV. --Dpr 08:40, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

This entire page is either plagiarized from www.absoluteastronomy.com/reference/john_lindsay or the other way around. Or perhaps there is one author for both. This needs must be investigated.

This is totally crazy regarding the amount of POV here. Something has to be done, unfortunateky I am not at all qualified to change this article as I know little about the man.

[edit] POV Lead Section

The lead section is outrageously POV. I am replacing it with a more factual lead section. Ortcutt 06:41, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I may be no Lindsay fan but this was brutality. I appreciate the restraint of the author not calling Lidsay a "n- loving, blue collar ethnic white man hating, soft-bellied, snobbish, s.o.b". Or did he get that in by the fourth paragraph next to the "damn those n- for destroying America". POV problems? Just a few.

I happen to like Mr. Lindsay, and I share in your assessment of this page. The original author had no intent but to smear not only Lindsay, but also the black community in New York, as well. I'd love to work on this, but I will be away for awhile. I'll find some wiki people well-acquianted with NYC politics to fix it upPorvida 00:34, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unreferenced as well

The references that do exist, only 1 is in the format preferred for wiki. I also agree that this has some major POV issues. I will be looking into flagging this article for both. UnseemlyWeasel 04:03, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing POV

Article has been cleaned up imho --Work permit (talk) 04:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
