Major edit edit
The major edit was done to maintain the privacy and security of Anote Tong as well as maintain the writing style of Wikipedia. As a Statesman, personal information about President Tong's children and grandchildren is not appropriate.
Why Chinese characters in intro? edit
I see that the intro has Chinese translations of the president's name.
This is over reach to a quite absurd degree. Should we also have every other language variant in the intro? Will move to Name in other languages if it can be confirmed as a proper translation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avaiki (talk • contribs) 01:59, 1 May 2015 (UTC)

Comments edit
At the moment, this has quite severe issues with neutrality. It's written a lot like a CV, and there's a lot of repetition of positive information. The article really harps on his climate change activism. It's certainly important enough to cover, but not in the manner done here. I'll go into the specifics below, but given the extent of work required, and the retirement of the nominator, I don't think there's any purpose served by prolonging the review.
- A quote from a musician isn't a testament to his effectiveness, and is undue weight in the lead.
"High Court of Tarawa had confirmed that there was no fraud"
This is also an inappropriate use of Wikipedia's voice. The High Court is not a reliable source; the only thing that would justify us saying that in Wikipedia's voice is if reliable sources say the same thing.- "Early Life" jumps back and forth; what island he is from should be in the same part of the article as material about his family.
- Repetition and non-chronology again in the first part of "political career"
"Tong also stood front and center
this is puffery- The first paragraph of "Issues" is quite off-topic; based on information in the article at the moment, all Tong has done is to say stuff.
- Material about the marine park is repeated thrice. It's also factually incorrect, or at least needs clarification; [1] suggests there are larger ones around.
- Despite the existence of a section titled "Anote Tong Foundation", there is no information about such a foundation in the article.
- The rest of that section is decidedly undue; a foundation he is a part of requires a few words of description at most, unless it's about work he has done.
- Generally, a lot of the article is a list of his quotes.
- If the repetitious and undue material is pruned, there's very little left.
If anyone watching this is interested in fixing these issues and renominating this page, they should feel free to ping me for a quick review; that way the article does not have to stay in the queue for another lengthy period of time. I am also happy to advise anyone who tries to fix it up. Vanamonde (Talk) 02:06, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
