Talk:2008 Otago NORML protests

bias and npov

I see no evidence that this page has been edited in any malicious way that goes against the spirit of WP so I am removing the COI template. If you want to put it back, explain your justification on this talk page first. Otepoti history (talk) 19:53, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I think that's pretty disingenuous. You are the primary contributor and article creator, who other editors can see is a pro-Otago NORML/cannabis SPA, and several of the references go to the Otagonorml's YouTube. The solution to the COI problem is for an editor without a history of supporting the group to do significant work on it, like a partial or full rewrite. XLerate (talk) 12:30, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

This article is hugely POV and anti-police. "The officers were forced to provide official identification","The large group demanded clarification from police... the police refused to engage in discussion with the crowd". The 'protesters' were arrested for a crime and then resisted arrest, and the crowd interfered with the arrest to the point that more police had to assist. By all means, discuss what the protesters were saying etc, but remain objective as to police actions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.153.60.225 (talk) 22:41, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Merge to Otago NORML

The arrests and trespass notice due to cannabis use on the university lawn don't warrant a separate article per WP:NOTNEWS and ought to be merged into the history section of Otago NORML. Most of this content is biased and badly referenced, I want to cull it back to a summary paragraph and transfer to Otago NORML. XLerate (talk) 23:01, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Another uninvolved editor tagged this page for notability [1], a merge would also fix that problem. XLerate (talk) 12:35, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
