Isn't having a section on his "legacy" a bit premature, since he's still in office? CaptainCanada 22:31, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
In early March this page was given a thorough going over and now resembles Conservative Party literature, even the the point of removing the small section of Criticisms, which I re-instated. No politician is served by one-sided commentary except in a unitary state. -- sdpate 5:25, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
The Progressive Conservatives are at it again. They are removing the criticism section, one paragraph at a time. It's like Donald Segretti and his team of dirty tricksters. The page is currently no more than public relations fluff. —The preceding

I attempted to edit the criticisms section in a manner that meets wikipedia's criteria. For example, there was a line that said "a flurry of human rights complaints", but when you clicked on the link, you landed on every single human rights complaint decision ever given in the province. There was only ONE human rights complaint in that long list that had anything remotely to do with DSP - although it was a simply a complaint about whether it fell under the Human Rights Act. I removed the privacy commissioner citation because I failed to find any of those decisions had to do with disability support. I removed opinion that was not sourced. I tried to clarify that disability support is a blog, not a valid organization that has an actual membership. I also removed a line about the dsp being cut back because there was NO SOURCE. I also took out the word "abuse" in the Baker Report because abuse was not a word in the report.
Criticisms are valid, but they MUST BE SOURCED!!!!

I simply have no time to read through your extremely long winded comment, sdpate.
These issues you insist on raising regularly in the article deal more with the provincial government as a whole, not just Mr. Binns. If you wish to write about disability/human rights issues, do it in the new Disability issues in Prince Edward Island article. Anything more than a single paragraph per term gives undue weight to one issue, while that issue has not been a positive or negative defining issue in Binn's government.
It is undue weight, and against WP:BLP.
To everyone, no matter their issue: I hope to dismantled the legacy and criticism section as soon as possible. Neither is an appropriate section to include. To include a legacy for a still serving politician is "crystal balling", and criticism should be discussed in the section for the relevant term of office. -- Zanimum 13:29, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Any further edits to this page leading up to and over the course of the PEI provincial election that do not comply with the WP:NPOV policies will be removed immediately, and the page will be recommended to be locked by administrators. Enough is enough especially when the edit war over this page has become national news in the media. [1] And yes, Mr. Stephen Pate, that means you especially. Either source your statements using verifiable sources, not your own website or blog, as Wikipedia is meant to an encyclopedia, not an political commentary page or a place for personal rants about politicians and their policies. If you have any questions as to whenever or not what your add to the article is NPOV, put it here and have it reviewed by everyone here. The continued edit war must stop HERE. Oh, and please remember to sign your posts on talk pages! ThePointblank 13:17, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
This article has been linked to be this CBC News article. I know there's a template for it somewhere, but I have no idea where. I also agree with prior suggestions for a lock, given the circumstances. -b 13:27, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I am tired of hearing in the papers and on the radio about this, "edit war." There is a simple way to fix this disagreement between all of the groups involved, everyone needs to stick to the facts. Everyone who edits this article needs to cite their sources. If there are no credible sources for an item of information, then the information needs to be left out. J Dogg 21:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

I am not being partisan about Mr. Binns or any other politician on PEI but this article reads like campaign literature and is hardly a balanced account. There should be some mention in the Term 3 section about the electoral reform commission and Mr. Binns demand of a "super majority" in the subsequent plebescite for it to be implemented, nor is there much mention of the electoral boundaries commission scandal and the gerrymandering allegations against him. I also feel that Polar Foods, one of the largest losses of public money in PEI's history, has been glossed over, as has the running up of record debt levels since the late 1990s. 142.177.241.27 02:43, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
