To allow for changes to be made, I am placing the article on hold for a period of up to seven days, after which it may be failed without further notice. I will return once the above has been addressed to review the prose to see if the choppiness has improved and to check the references. Cheers, CP 22:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Does this really need to be so big and in a separate section? The censure was marginal and concerned a minor local leaflet. This section gives disproportionate importance to the episode and still does not coherently explain what Mr. Baker did wrong. Mr. Baker was criticised by the Committee on Standards and Privileges for having a party political advertisement in a publication which had been partly funded from the newly-introduced Communication Allowance. This allowance has recently been introduced to promote understanding of Parliament in an unpartisan manner. 217.171.129.73 ( talk) 02:31, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
I dislike statements like 'Baker is known for uncovering scandals and conflicts of interest among MPs and the government, and has one of the highest profiles of any backbench MP.' and 'A dogged investigator'. This seems like opinion, not a NPOV and almost as if someone is trying to promote him.
