Unsourced Edits

There have recently been extensive edits by User:174.119.210.65 which are unsourced or poorly sourced. In my view an extensive clean-up is now required. This article now reads like a promotional piece. If these additions are to be kept in the article they will need to be much better sourced.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 00:26, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Photo of Quarmby in the commons?

User:JacobSheehy has added a photo of Quarmby to the article. It appears to me that the photo has been taken from the Green Party's website. It does not appear to be in the commons and may violate copyright. If so, we must take it down.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 00:26, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This photo, added again, this time by User:Lkhilton, does not appear to be in the commoms, but instead from Ms. Quarmby's campain website. There may also be a WP:NPOV or WP:Conflict of interest issue here.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 04:04, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edits by Lkhilton

I am concerned that Lkhilton may have a personal connection to Ms. Quarmby, that would give rise to a conflict of interest. I understand that she works at Quarmby's lab [1]. I have raised this on her talk page, so that she can consider whether that is the case.--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 04:04, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
