This article is written in Canadian English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, centre, travelled, realize, analyze) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

Mike Schreiner as politician

His occupation is listed as enterpreneur and politician.

Mike has NEVER been elected to office. Can anyone show any proof of that? He ran a few times, and failed to be elected as a politician every single time. I have nothing against him, if he has the money to pay whatever fees are required to run for political office then go for it buuuuuuuuuuuuut he is no politician.

Is this article still outdated?

I did some work on this article, including updates and citations.

Can we now delete this label?

 This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages) This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. (December 2015) This article needs to be updated.

Thanks for deleting the label, User:Bellagio99 Peter K Burian (talk) 16:01, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your hard work. There's still some undocumented assertions in it. I've de-hyped a bit to make it more Wikipedian. Bellagio99 (talk) 16:04, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you RA0808 and Bellagio99; it's always great when editors collaborate to make an article better. Yes, the hype you removed was well worth doing. I'll take another look to see what still needs citations, or should be deleted if sources do not confirm those assertions. Cheers! Peter K Burian (talk) 18:30, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I got rid of more of the hype and some of the content that had no citation, since my research could not confirm that info. Re-organized a bit. Am open to other suggestions. Peter K Burian (talk) 19:46, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I did some more word-smithing, mostly clean-up, but added that his vote total and % more than doubled from previous election. It's a wrap for me. Bellagio99 (talk) 20:08, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's a wrap for me too, now Bellagio99. In one day we took this from an article with warning labels to something that is quite good now, I believe. Peter K Burian (talk) 20:17, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! FWIW, I knew Mike slightly, and I think the article accurately reflects him.Bellagio99 (talk) 20:23, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
