Neutral Point of View issues[edit]

Tagging this with {{Political POV}}. I'd also argue that the article is unencyclopedic in tone, as well as overly detailed for an article about a defunct municipal political party, but those seem to be side-effects of the POV thing. I'll leave it to a more experienced Wikipedian to decide if additional tags are necessary (ie: {{tone}}, {{overly detailed}}).

Here are a few examples of POV:

A section header titled "filling a leadership void"
"the residents of Vancouver woke up to the fact"
"without anyone having asked them if they approved of such a scheme"
"the concept of a civic party having a platform was a novelty in Vancouver"
"it filled the need for civic leadership at a time when unelected and entrenched bureaucrats were ignoring the right of citizens to be informed and to participate"

These examples are non-exhaustive, but I think they illustrate the problems with the tone of the article as a whole.

Additionally, there is excessive use of quotes from candidates and their supporters. Many are "floating" quotes without context as to who or what is being quoted, aside from a citation in the footnotes. 104.142.124.211 (talk) 03:38, 22 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I don't know much about wikipedia but I saw this note and just wanted to provide context. The main guy editing this page is association with the new Vancouver municipal political party "TEAM for a Livable Vancouver", which is based on The Elector's Action Movement. I think he's may be trying to make this page look flattering to bulk up his new Party's status? Anyways sorry if this isn't the right place to comment this I just wanted to say something because I found the content on this page concerningly slanted. 2001:569:7171:B400:F8E3:8DF7:47F6:B5A0 (talk) 17:32, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
