Talk:Tim O'Brien (Connecticut politician)

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.

Political Puff - Campaign Advertisement

This article is a copy-paste of the mayor's page. http://www.newbritainct.gov/index.php/government/mayors-office/honorable-tim-obrien.html

It's a very poorly written article, no sources are cited, nothing.

This article needs to be cleaned up, or written by someone other than the mayor's office.

Anti-O'Brien website set up

Someone set up a website, nobrien2013.com, that accuses O'Brien of corruption and other political ills and offers a cash award for his arrest.[1][2]. Not sure how I can word it neutrally, so I'm dropping the info here.--Auric talk 17:16, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
