Marissen's recent appointment to campaign chair for the Dion-led Liberals should be in here somewhere; various political aspects in BC also should be in this article eventually (and not just to do with Ledgegate!). This whole thing reads like the guy's C.V. as written for newsrooms....not surprising considering he's a professional p.r. hack...Skookum1 09:04, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
In political bios like this a number of factors come to play, other than WP:AUTO and WP:BIO. There have been a lot of tweaks to this article by WP:SPAs (pls read) which were not actively cited when they happened; the four items in the refs are pretty pointless without that, especially because there'ws been updates where the refs haven't changed, and it sweems that some of what's there isn't in the papers or other citable sources. Only what can be cit4ed from pubicly-avialable/verifiable sources can be here; not stuff added personally or by friends that they happen to know, or family stuff like ol' Erik Bornmann's article had (of the "he likes kids and dogs and volunteers to church picnic"variety). C'mon now, you p.r. types that have been vetting this are supposed to b e professaion writer/researchers who can write to a style guide. So please read and observe Wikipedia's, OK? This page is not meant as a resume and, though you might try, you won't be able to contorl it....and since we know how to figure out what sock puppets are, could you just use one username, please?.Skookum1 (talk) 03:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I've cleaned up some of this article's issues, but others remain; Marrissen's connections to Liberal Party organizing in BC and secondary (if not primary) connections to many of the players in the Railgate scandal, i.e. being involved in - leading/directing - the same campaigns as the "Basi Boys" for both Martin and Campbell leadership campaigns, are absent, for one thing. But details like him joining hte party in high school, or graduating from SFU - all that needs to be line-cited. I almost ditched the Burrard Group's spamlink in External Links but left it in by converting and redlnking the mention of Burrard Group in the lede, because it is a notable political consulting firm. The "Sources" section needs to be integrated into actual line-cites and proper ref formatting.
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 14:55, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
