Hi - this is Julian, and I'm loathe to change my own entry, even for factual errors, so I'd be grateful if someone would consider making some updates:
There's no such thing as a 'Cambridge Member' of the RSC, it's just 'Member'.
I'm no longer on the National Council of Liberty, having resigned shortly after my election to avoid a potential conflict of interest if I were to end up effectively lobbying myself about issues.
I'm vice-chair of the APPG on humanism, not chair. I'm also an officer on a range of other APPGS, including Vice-chair of the APPGs on Drug Policy reform, Life Sciences, Engineering and IT and Wellbeing Economics, Secretary of the APPGs on Libel Reform, and Treasurer of the APPG on Medical Research. Use any or all of these!
As well as the Home Affairs Select Committee, I'm on the Joint Committee on Human RIghts, and am the Co-Chair of the Lib Dem Parliamentary Committee on Transport (ie speak on behalf of the Lib Dems on transport issues)
There's other more political comments I'd make - eg I secured a commitment that the worst off would get more money from the EMA replacement than under EMA - but I'll leave those and other interpretation to other people! Jlh29 ( talk) 15:03, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Julian Huppert was a Cambridge County Councillor for 8 years, served on the Eastern Regional Assembly, is an academic scientist at Cambridge University, (that's enough notability - ed) Laurence Boyce ( talk) 16:58, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
Julian Huppert is said in reference 8 to be a member of the All Party Humanist Group in Parliament. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.65.131.204 ( talk) 16:11, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
At present, there is little on Huppert's voting record in Parliament and the entry reads a bit like a hagiography, in my view. I think that is a major omission in an article about an MP. I added a paragraph on how Huppert voted during key/interesting votes during the current Parliament but this has been removed. I think an article about a politician should focus on how they have voted - particularly on contentious issues. I think a lot of the rest of the article could be trimmed. Tomayates ( talk) 19:31, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not for the addition of voting records; selective adding is not neutral ( not including every single possible vote is the only way to not be selective) and Wikiepdia is not a news service and is not for indiscriminate addition of information (adding all votes possible would be an indiscriminate information dump) . If there are tone issues or other relevant neutral information please feel free to add that or amend the tone.21:30, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
I find this bizarre. Surely how Huppert voted on key issues in each policy area is more relevant than anything else? Not mentioning this is definitely selective - it gives the impression that all he did in Parliament was to champion science and cycling when, in fact, he voted to support a lot of controversial legislation. Regards selectivity, including awards he has received but not protests against how he voted seems selective. I will try and add a 'non selective' section on his voting record and a section on criticisms of his record in Parliament. Tomayates ( talk) 07:58, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
Regards sources for the only scientist claim, perhaps this can be moved to the controversies section? I think it is relevant that Cambridge Liberal Democrats claimed this on their website when it is demonstrably false. Regards detailing Julian Huppert's voting record, he has been vocal about renewables. I also think that how MPs vote on key issues is more remarkable than anything else about an MP. Surely this should be the focus of any article on a politician? Tomayates ( talk) 22:20, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
The 'only scientist' assertion is still there, uncorrected, on the website of the Cambridge Liberal Democrat Party. I think repeating a false assertion is controversial. Good that you added more detail on Huppert's voting record - I think this is starting to look more like an article about a politician. Tomayates ( talk) 15:00, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
And again, please don't replace accurate claims with less accurate claims. Tuppert's voted for the rebel amendment giving exemptions to the Bedroom Tax is on the Public Whip link and it's in the local press, which I've now added; the fact he rebelled over the issue is the only encyclopedia-worthy aspect of his participation in the whole process...
There is an RfC on the question of using "Religion: None" vs. "Religion: None (atheist)" in the infobox on this and other similar pages.
The RfC is at Template talk:Infobox person#RfC: Religion infobox entries for individuals that have no religion.
Please help us determine consensus on this issue. -- Guy Macon ( talk) 19:55, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
Can anyone think of an encyclopaedic way to mention that he appears to model his facial hair on Walter Ulbricht (and Lenin)? I wish him well politically and would vote for him if I still lived in Cambridge, but (1) I don't and (2) that comradely beard still troubles me. Regards Charles01 ( talk) 08:27, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
