LesbianAdvocate is clearly a Bobby Schilling Operative of some kind. Welcome to the Race!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.197.124.239 (talk) 08:51, 29 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have nothing to do with Bobby Schilling. Lesbianadvocate (talk) 02:01, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, but you have a clear agenda to edit the articles of Democratic candidates in tight races to paint these Democratic candidates in the worst light possible. Are you going to deny this?? Nickargento (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:32, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is not the place for personal attacks or insinuations. This talk page is for article improvements. Please discuss what info should or should not be in the article and give reasons for/against. Thank you. -- JoannaSerah (talk) 16:29, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The info about Cheri and the road is not true. It has been proven false in very newspaper in the district. Much of the info in here is from he opposition candidate's campaign. ERAM2009 (talk) 21:37, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: please be more specific about what needs to be changed. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 21:51, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First down comets edits

The bit about a "majority of Catholics" violates WP:SYNTH and I have removed it.

The QC Times editorial I don't feel strongly about, but if we included a quote from every endorsement for a political candidate the articles would be way too long. I don't think it belongs because it's a pretty standard endorsement; nothing unique about it warranting material.

As for the "fact-check", there was no fact-check, it was an editorial. And the editorial refers to a claim about a country club, which is not what is discussed in the article. Instaurare (talk) 21:13, 31 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point on all 3 items. First down comets (talk) 04:53, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

First down comets has been revealed by checkuser to be a sockpuppet. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pay promise

With this edit, I restored content which has multiple reliable sources.CFredkin (talk) 16:03, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@CFredkin, I am having trouble viewing two op-eds from the same paper as 'multiple reliable sources', particularly given their negative perspective and that this is a BLP. This is also why I removed it for further discussion (per WP:BLP), but you put it back in before your tp edit here. If you can help me better understand your justification for negative statements from opinion/editorial sources in a BLP, I would greatly appreciate it 70.44.136.245 (talk) 23:13, 2 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've added Bustos's response, as well as a couple more reliable sources. That makes a total of 4 distinct, reliable sources.CFredkin (talk) 04:53, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
