Please not that the continious attempts by individuals to change the wikipedia bio of Dean Allison need to stop. A bio is a bio, and those individuals who look to wikipedia for such information should be permitted to find a complete bio. Just because some individuals don't like the information included, is not a reason to have it deleted. The information that continues to be taken out is NOT "promotional" as is stated by those individuals who keep removing it. If you are a member of a different political party, it doesn't matter, the facts are the facts. Please leave the bio complete and accurate. Thank you.

It doesn't matter if the information is 'promotional' or not, the point I and others are trying to make is that copying and pasting an online biography into a wikipedia article is not the way wikipedia articles are written. Is it that hard to understand? This type of behaviour is going on in many differnt political articles, not just the Dean Allison article. Why should we overlook the blatant copy and pasting, and the insisting that the subject be refered to as "Dean", also against wikipedia policy in this article while reverting the same material in other articles? I would suggest you take a look at WP:MOSBIO, and familiarize yourself with wikipedia's policy on biography articles before suggesting that I have other motives behind removing the info from this article. I can say with 100% certainty that I am editing articles with nothing but the best interests of the project in mind. Yes, I do belong to a political party, and I'm sure you would be surprised if I told you the party, but that's not wikipedia is all about. I have edited articles belonging to MPs of all political parties without any bias. If you would have checked by contribution history before making this accusation, you would have seen this. You are correct with one statement you made above "facts are facts", and the fact here is that copying and pasting online bios is not how wikipedia articles are written.
