NPOV issues

I'm seeing some major NPOV issues with many sections in this article. Most problems seem to be Republican-leaning but I can also see an argument for a few sections leaning Democrat too heavily. Some examples of language that needs to be changed:

"the Republican wave swamped Strickland"
"and thus stay in-state for quality jobs"
"Especially troubling was that a 22-year-old intern was entrusted to this tape"
"Despite being denied a second term as Governor,"
"mocking Republican nominee Mitt Romney"

In my opinion this article needs a major copy-edit for NPOV so I've added the tag to the full article, although my recent edit resolved many issues with the Polling section. -DMurphy (talk) 18:58, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've been working on the article's tone this week and removed the tag today. SteveStrummer (talk) 05:15, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation of edits

With this edit, I reverted to the article's state as of 23:46, 1 July 2015, in order to revert recent edits which added content not supported by sources provided.CFredkin (talk) 04:51, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed Content

In this edit, the following content is not supported by the sources provided:

The Strickland administration's economic strategy was largely defined by the its response to the national Great Recession.^[1] Between December 2009 and August 2010, employment grew in the state by 57,000 positions.^[1] The unemployment percentage peaked at 11.0% in March 2010, but had rapidly fallen to 10.1% by August of that year.^[1]

Strickland also made college affordability a cornerstone of his education policy, overseeing a period of historically slow tuition growth, with many schools even freezing tuition during his tenure.^[2]

In addition to expanding the state's infrastructure, these program created construction jobs.^[3]

In addition, the following content has been debunked by Politifact:

By the fall of 2010, the state had the sixth-fastest growing economy in the country.^[4]

And the following content is puffery and supported by an unreliable source (twitter):

Strickland's defense of the auto industry, which supports about 850,000 jobs in Ohio, led Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm to say that "the auto industry wouldn't be here today without leaders like Ted Strickland." ^[5] ^[6]CFredkin (talk) 17:16, 11 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Better coverage of ongoing US Senate campaign

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. [see below]

The "Post-gubernatorial career" section of this article talks about Strickland's ongoing US Senate campaign in Ohio, but it only makes mention of Republican incumbent Rob Portman. However, there's no mention of the ongoing Democratic primary. Here's my draft. This draft should replace the last paragraph of that section (the info in that paragraph is reincorporated below). It would probably make sense to create a new section header for this race.

I'm making an edit request because I have close family ties to the Sittenfeld campaign. Please let me know if this is an acceptable draft. Thanks, IagoQnsi (talk) 05:55, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On February 25, 2015, Strickland announced his intention to run for the United States Senate seat in Ohio against incumbent Rob Portman,^[1] initiating a Democratic primary with 31 year-old Cincinnati city councilman PG Sittenfeld, who launched his campaign on January 22, 2015.^[2]^[3]

On March 31, 2015, former President Bill Clinton endorsed Strickland's candidacy, praising his "proven record of service to hard working Ohioans, energy, determination and idealism" and claiming that "no one will care more, know more, and work harder for better opportunities for every Ohioan than Ted."^[4] Strickland was also endorsed by Senator Sherrod Brown on March 9^[5] and by the Ohio Democratic Party in early April.^[6]

In December 2015, Sittenfeld's campaign drew attention to a radio interview from March 2015, where Strickland talked about his record on gun control, saying "I was the guy who voted against the assault weapons ban" and "I will put my record up against anyone's record when it comes to defending the Second Amendment."^[7] The Sittenfeld campaign said this contradicted Strickland's claims that he had changed his views on gun control following the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. A spokesperson for Strickland said that the video did not support these claims, and instead showed Strickland "talking about his past ratings from the NRA and responding to a question that he is not a lobbyist."^[8]

On February 22, Strickland declined to attend a Democratic primary debate hosted by the City Club of Cleveland.^[9] Several Ohio publications including the Toledo Blade^[10] and The Repository^[11] joined with Sittenfeld in calling for Strickland to participate in a debate. Strickland's campaign told the Sandusky Register that they didn't want to take time away from preparing to compete with Portman in the general election,^[12] and Strickland later said in a joint interview, "I haven't been hiding from the people. I just haven't given my opponent, PG Sittenfeld, a platform that, quite frankly, I don't think he's earned through his own effort and work."^[13]

Neutrality

I've placed a POV-section tag in the "Governorship" section of this article. The tone and content of that section seems too promotional to me and comes across as a laundry list of poorly sourced accomplishments. The "Controversies" sub-section is also weak (we really shouldn't have sub-sections with that name, the content should be integrated), and does little to off-set the promotional problems of the rest of the section. I've done some tagging and clean-up work, but the article needs help if anyone cares to get involved. Champaign Supernova (talk) 22:18, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did a lot of work on the article and have removed the tag I placed. Champaign Supernova (talk) 21:26, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
