Policy on biographies of living people

[edit]

(About the above) I know this isn't about anyone (It's about the possible connection/scandal), but these sorts of articels seem to be magnets for people with axes to grind, so I added the above. Feel free to remove it if it's misplaced. 68.39.174.238 14:25, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine, in my opinion. It never hurts to be reminded of wikipedia policies. And in this case, I think that a lot of people don't realize that negative information about living people MUST be sourced; failing that, it should be removed. John Broughton 14:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Subarticles?

[edit]

It might be good to try to parcel some of this information up into subarticles -- this whole article is hard to consume in one bite. But I'll defer to the judgment of others who have been working more on this... --User At Work 15:07, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted stuff

[edit]

I've removed the text below from the article. The reason is the lack of connection to Jerry Lewis. I don't think the article should list every client of Copeland Lowery and the earmarks they received, just clients that had a connection to Lewis, either in or close to his district (particularly government and the like), or large donors to his campaign, or similar. (Plus it was in the wrong section.) John Broughton 15:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • The Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, "affiliated with the Florida University system, received an earmark valued at $2.3 million to conduct research for the Navy after paying Copeland Lowery $60,000 last year, according to House records and a spokeswoman for the institute."
  • The Rochester Institute of Technology received "six earmarks valued at $8.9 million after paying Copeland Lowery $440,000 from 2002 to 2005, according to House records and a tally by Taxpayers for Common Sense. The institute's lobbying payments during this period were initially understated in reports by $225,000."

Brent Wilkes

[edit]

Could someone please add a paragraph about this controversy in Brent Wilkes, since it is said to be a spin-off from the investigation of Wilkes? 20:59, 7 December 2006 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.216.39.193 (talk • contribs)

Done. John Broughton | Talk 14:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
