Conflict of Interest Campaigns

I urge those who are part of a campaign not to edit on Wikipedia. This is a conflict of interest and against the NPOV guidelines of Wikipedia. Any POV edits will be reverted by myself or other editors.

Fair use rationale for Image:PeteSorenson.jpg

Image:PeteSorenson.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Suggestions for POV and updates

I have a COI, having retained Pete's legal services many years ago, working with him on other occasions, and voting for him. I will not be editing this article. However, I suggest two revisions:

The article consistently uses his first name rather than surname--see WP:SURNAME. This is a PoV issue.
Pete's public meetings ethics violation in 2011 should be summarized.

Here's one source: http://www.kval.com/news/local/114245204.html Here is a link for the official decision: http://media.kval.com/documents/Dumdi-Handy.Decision.2011.01-18.pdf I would also separate his personal life (his education and family status) into a new section, but that is a lower priority than the above edits.
