I'm not a big fan of Fiacco myself, but the NNPOV issues with this article are now approaching libel, particularly when you start talking about Fiacco being "turned away" from political parties for making "unreasonable demands". Given that we're in a run-up to the next election this is not surprising. Nonetheless, I'm reverting some of the recent edits back to the original text, which while uncited at least does not approach libel. 64.110.213.33 can put them back, WITH citations if he/she has them.

It appears that some recent edits to the page seem to have an agenda of their own to produce negative perspectives without any consideration for documentation. What happened to making an article without a POV? I realize that not everyone will agree with everyone else, but please have specific documentation when making a claim or it will be removed or rewritten. Also, keep in mind that this is an encyclopedic type of publication when adding information, and not everything belongs in an encyclopedia. Friesguy 17:55, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Please refrain from reverts, I have cleaned up the article and everything is sourced or will be soon. If you have issues , please discuss. -- 206.163.235.114 02:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
The time-line format is generally not followed in biography articles and does not help us to understand anything in particular. I suggest changing the format so that it appears as a biographic article. Also, the article remains highly POV.... Mumun 無文 13:57, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Section about priorities as mayor moved to talk. Is a list of priorities appropriate? Should it be prose instead? Is it properly sourced? RJFJR ( talk) 16:11, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

At some point in early 2022, an anonymous IP added an unsourced birthdate of December 27, 1962, and since then other anonymous IPs have made unsourced changes to reflect a birthdate of May 6, 1962 (or possibly June 5, if they were trying for DMY instead of MDY for some reason.) But since none of this has been reliably sourced at all, just a reminder that we cannot include any exact birthdate for him at all if we can't find the sourcing to support one.
