[edit] NNPOV Problems

I'm not a big fan of Fiacco myself, but the NNPOV issues with this article are now approaching libel, particularly when you start talking about Fiacco being "turned away" from political parties for making "unreasonable demands". Given that we're in a run-up to the next election this is not surprising. Nonetheless, I'm reverting some of the recent edits back to the original text, which while uncited at least does not approach libel. 64.110.213.33 can put them back, WITH citations if he/she has them.

It appears that some recent edits to the page seem to have an agenda of their own to produce negative perspectives without any consideration for documentation. What happened to making an article without a POV? I realize that not everyone will agree with everyone else, but please have specific documentation when making a claim or it will be removed or rewritten. Also, keep in mind that this is an encyclopedic type of publication when adding information, and not everything belongs in an encyclopedia. Friesguy 17:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reformat and reverts

Please refrain from reverts, I have cleaned up the article and everything is sourced or will be soon. If you have issues , please discuss. --206.163.235.114 02:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

What do you man by "soon"? Still no sources cited. --Kmsiever 20:13, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] article needs work: format and POV issues

The time-line format is generally not followed in biography articles and does not help us to understand anything in particular. I suggest changing the format so that it appears as a biographic article. Also, the article remains highly POV....Mumun 無文 13:57, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I made a bunch of changes. Most of the criticisms still need references, however. As well, the article still needs more biographical information and should probably have an "accomplishments" section to balance out the criticisms. --Kmsiever 15:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Added two infoboxes, sources, information from the City of Regina website, and from articles about boxing, and film which involve Pat Fiacco. SriMesh | talk 02:15, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
