Contradictory info on parliamentary work

"He was a member of the Standing Committee on Finance in 1992, a Member of Parliament from 1993-1997". The standing committee is a part of the parliament, so he would have to have been a parliamentarian also at that point. I notice that also the Norwegian Bokmål Wikipedia presents this contradiction. It should be cleard up. __meco (talk) 23:35, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now, should we really have details about which parliamentary committees he was a member of in the lead? __meco (talk) 20:45, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Working on it. --TIAYN (talk) 14:55, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reorganizing needed

The decription of the 1983 local election in Oslo goes into minute details and perhaps even anecdotal information that is unnecessary. This should be pruned. Also the Turkey incident should go into a separate section as it is lost where it currently is. Also, the mention of the photograph which was confiscated appears as somewhat digressive, and without further information I find it non-notable. __meco (talk) 16:04, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There does not exist any detailed information about his campaign in 1983... --TIAYN (talk) 16:12, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No more information on the topic, most of the news sources just said he was arrested in Turkey and thats it.. No more info. I can remove the information about the image, but that would minimize the information we have about the topic. --TIAYN (talk) 16:12, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DYK / GA

I was considering nominating this article for WP:DYK, however, I believe it is too much in need of copy-editing and pruning in its current state to be presented on the front page. That in my perception also means it has no chance of attaining GA status before these issues are resolved. When the article becomes better organized and proof-read I will consider DYK'ing it. __meco (talk) 16:41, 13 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
