[edit] Group Ratings

I removed the rating inserted by user Smoot26 who removed a negative rating from the Drum Major Institute and replaced it with a positive one. I agree with the general theory that ratings by organizations are not worthy of inclusion as they are not historically newsworthy and there is little room for a nuetral standard as to which are included and which are not. --Cjs56 02:32, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

I reinserted the info about his voting record; it seems appropriate, is immaculately sourced, and isn't POV at all. -- Deville (Talk) 03:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mark Foley Scandal

Here is a source saying something about Reynold's conduct, I'm not sure if it is legit, and I'm not able to do research at the moment http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2006/10/1732575.php SargeAbernathy 20:25, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey Guys. Does this really need this much space in the article. Maybe it seemed like a big deal back when it happened, but looking back I'd say it's rather unimportant and has little to do with Reynolds himself. Maybe shorten it up into a couple sentences that explain why the last election was so close. 7 July 2007

The article is self-contradictory. It claims the Democrats had copies of the Foley e-mail's a year before the scandal broke and then clams the Republicans "lied" about making that charge. If there's an ongoing dispute over who knew what when, it's kinda hard to charge someone conclusively with a lie? This fails the NPOV test —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.84.60 (talk) 11:46, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I removed several lines of subjective, partisan and potentially libelous language from the article. In any case, I believe it was unencyclopaedic and was also unsourced. 71.100.167.23 (talk) 01:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jack Davis's Profession

I described Jack Davis's profession as industrialist as that is what his article is titled. "Millionaire" is not a profession (unless, perhaps, you are Paris Hilton or one of her paramours).
