[edit] Resume?

This article reads a bit more like a resume, I would be interested to know who wrote it. [unsigned]

If you are asking if this article was self authored, then the answer is that it wasn't. I have been authoring a lot of articles around transport, roads, road protest and aviation protest (check my contribs link) and this article was one of the ones I have created/worked on. Before you ask, it was written with her approval, and yes, she did provide some of the raw material but I only including content that was verifiable. What would you suggest should be added? Btw, who are you? PeterIto (talk) 12:00, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Factual Bias

It's factually biased - the road building programme hasn't stopped at all. I travel regularly on the new Leighton Buzzard Bypass, eventhough that was subject to some half-hearted protests by a similar group (see http://users.cooptel.net/SeanKelly/bypass/pressrelease/roadblockpress1701.html) - who appeared to give up when faced by a community actually in favour of the bypass.

In order for it to have more authority the article should not simply cite the successful campaigns, but also the unsuccessful ones too, and not just the Leighton Buzzard Bypass either. There was a recent very good Westminster Hall debate on upgrading the A47 from Great Yarmouth. http://www.theyworkforyou.com/whall/?id=2008-03-12a.106.0 - which indicates that there is still Conservative enthusiasm for a road building programme. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pgb62uk (talk • contribs) 15:07, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

• What phrase are you objecting to exactly and what bias? The article does mention that in 1997 'most remaining road schemes were cancelled' (references) and then that new road program was proposed in 2002 (referenced). There is no mention of conservative transport policy in the article at all so I am not sure where you are coming from on that one. I suggest that the Road protest (UK) article is a better place for some of the issues you are raising. PeterIto (talk) 22:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Firstly you don't need someones approval or input to write an article about them on wikipedia. Secondly the article reads like propaganda describing a relatively unimportant person of little noteriety. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.241.83.228 (talk • contribs) 13:58, 9 May 2008

You may not agree with her POV, but if you follow the references I think you will have to agree that notability is not an issue for this person. PeterIto (talk) 07:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
