If the article looks like and advertisement, it's because it is copied and pasted from Don Burton's bio at his party's website and he is running for reelection. This will need a complete rewrite. • Gene93k ( talk) 14:42, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I've made several substantial changes - mostly involving rearragnement of content - which I'm indexing here:

Given what may be WP:COI issues with this article, I'll begin gathering external links toward a rewrite here, to address the WP:NOTADVERTISING issue of January 2014. This is not a comprehensive list, but in no particular order:

Because this is a super-lightly trafficked article I'm submitting this to immediate RfC. I hope no one minds. In November I substantially rewrote this article (see above), which was essentially a bunch of thinly disguised vitriol against Benton. Two days later, an IP editor came along and swung it the other direction, turning it - essentially - into a fan club letter for Benton. I've just fixed all that. The news website Crosscut - prior to me fixing it - published an article "How to tell if your Senator edited his own Wikipedia entry." I've created a sub-section sourced to that article specifically to address the questions it raised, however, I'm concerned I may unfairly be using this as a scarlet letter and it is in violation of WP:CRITS. Further, since I was most directly impacted by the IP editors WP:PROMOTIONAL changes (as I had to manually undo them), it may not be entirely NPOV. Thirdly, this section contains some original research by me, namely that a IP editor edited it in November. Should this section exist? If not, can the content be incorporated elsewhere? Should it be deleted entirely? BlueSalix ( talk) 03:57, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
