Bias

This biography has recently been started, and is so far expanded beyond significance with intense use of POV language, by the SPA EriHal, who has also written about Stordalen's husband Petter Stordalen, and might be a PR consultant connected to the couple. --Orland (talk) 17:45, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SPA user Smartwool (talk · contribs) recently removed the tag, saying that the article "is very well sourced", as if that were the problem. I've replaced it with {{Systemic bias}}, and enplained it. For further worries, see also Talk:Petter Stordalen. If someone feel that the tag {{Systemic bias}} is wrongly used here, please feel free to replace it with {{bias}}.

Sockpuppets bloating the article with promotional language

I believe the following editors who contributed to this article are sockpuppets and SPA users who should be investigated by an administrator with the relevant privileges: Carlericsson71, EriHal, Jesper Jansen, Hanneberstad, Ruudtelemark, and Smartwool, who appear to be PR consultants connected to the article subject and her husband. Each of these editors has a brief and recent editing history confined mostly to a few, narrow, Nordic topics, with heavy promotional- and marketing-bloated prose used in many instances. I have cleaned out some of this egregious material in other articles. They strike me as users who ought to be blocked from editing and the narrow range of articles they are interested in watched in future for renewed biassed activity. — O'Dea (talk) 12:13, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Can you see any factual errors?

Can you see any factual errors in the article? Give any! Bloating language? Can't see any. It seems that your criticism is politically motivated. A POV criticism. Take a break!--Jidu Boite (talk) 09:20, 9 November 2013 (UTC)you[reply]

I cleaned up the article a little bit yesterday, so maybe your comment indicates that it helped. There was a certain promotional, peacock tone and presentation, and I tried to remove most of it, but I don't think I got all. I am still not happy with the quality of the article but it may not be much worse than several other Wikipedia articles. Personally I am not against removing the tags - or maybe just leave the "general quality" tag. (As a sidenote; this article got my attention, becaus Stordalen was guest in the same tv-show yesterday as Jimmy Wales). Regards, Iselilja (talk) 09:38, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One factual error: Her wedding dress is not displayed at The Norwegian Museum of Art Industry. It was part of a temporary wedding dress exhibition there in 2011. She had only lent her dress to the museum for that special occasion. This was mentioned in the printed version of the newspaper Adresseavisen: «Mona Grudt og Gunhild Anker Stordalen er blant kvinnene som har lånt bort brudekjolene sine til Nordenfjeldske Kunstindustrimuseums nye utstilling» (= M.G. and G.A.S. are among the women who have lent their wedding dresses to NKIM's new exhibition). I removed the information from the article. Kjersti Lie (talk) 15:14, 9 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
