This article must adhere to the biographies of living persons (BLP) policy, even if it is not a biography, because it contains material about living persons. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libellous. If such material is repeatedly inserted, or if you have other concerns, please report the issue to this noticeboard.

This page is about a politician who is running for office or has recently run for office, is in office and campaigning for re-election, or is involved in some current political conflict or controversy. For that reason, this article is at increased risk of biased editing, talk-page trolling, and simple vandalism.

If you are a subject of this article, or acting on behalf of one, and you need help, please see this help page.

Geography

So where is the 75th District? - Jmabel | Talk 01:13, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmabel: This question is harder to answer than I imagined. The easy answer is East El Paso in Texas, and nearby communities.

But this is a fuzzy answer, without disambiguation of the actual district lines.

I wanted to see the district lines, too (since you asked). That is, the whole district, not just a linked list of communities (none of those will give the reader a geographical understanding of the whole district). The WP article on the Texas House has no geographical info I could find. What I had to do was go to the rep's web page (currently ref [1] in article), and find the pdf.^[1]

Because the info seems obscure (did not see it at the 1st or 2nd visit to the rep's page), I'll add it to the article. —Aladdin Sane (talk) 23:26, 29 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Stale COI tag removed

Previously, on this episode of Wikipedia:

"A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page. (May 2013)"

I found the WP:COI issue: It occurred on 2013-05-23 from 3:07 pm to 5:47 pm UTC. The editor was indefinitely blocked the next day, and has not requested unblock.

At first I was skeptical that there was a COI, then I realized the biographed person's middle name is Edna (if you're wondering what went on in the article's (@Drm310 and Lincolnite:) revision history). So, yes, I agree there was a COI.

To me, as an editor, the tag is now stale.

However, the first two sections still lack cites until the end of § 2. This needs to be fixed, I feel, but I see no potential libel under BLP policy here. (The end of § 2 currently does not match the section heading, because it is current.)

I have tagged the sections appropriately with Template:Unreferenced section and Template:Refimprove section. —Aladdin Sane (talk) 03:38, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Aladdin Sane: I agree with your revisions. Thanks for improving this article. --Drm310 (talk) 04:26, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
