My name is Bob Orrin I live at 10914 Kingston Pike. I want to tell you that I have always voted for you in the past, but I’ll not be voting for you again. The rational for that decision is since all house democrats and you and seven of your republican colleagues voted to oust McCarty and basically shut down the government you do not deserve to be re-elected Bob Orrin — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FB91:514:4E28:C91D:36EF:AFE8:5D75 (talk) 13:58, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Political motives

Editor, please be cautious in approving edits to this page. This individual is a current political candidate and is believed to be the subject of a targeted effort to damage him with false and misleading information. My most recent edit to this page was done to remove a previous edit by user 'Apoliticaltn'. Their edit removed multiple sources and replaced them with a single source citation that linked to news story about an alleged FBI investigation that has neither been confirmed nor denied publicly by the FBI. Additionally, the reporting in the linked story (especially the subject's ex-wife's claim that he's under investigation) has been called into question by follow-up reporting by multiple news sources. ^[1]^[2]InfoHound (talk) 18:31, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

References

Note: One of the refs above is to Tennessee Star, which is a fake website.[1] No such newspaper exists. It is one of several clone websites claiming to be local-newspapers, produced by a campaign financing org to push campaign propaganda. It is not a Reliable Source, and should not be cited or relied on for any purpose. Alsee (talk) 13:07, 15 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a long work in progress

I have cleaned up a lot. I added some information about cash mobs and scandals... Is there any way to say the issues have been fixed Danandrewsreporter (talk) 15:03, 3 February 2014 (UTC)danandrewsreporter[reply]

Untitled

I removed the following

It is believed that Sen. Burchett controls a small band of pirates on The Tennessee River for the purpose of promoting his upcoming mayoral campaign in Knox County. It is believed that Burchett's wife married him for his impeccable sense of style, however it is actually because the couple are avid cryptozoologists. Once retired, the couple plans to divide their time between cryptozoology and ufology, another one of their passions.

It had been removed before, but the removal was reversed. If this is real information, which I doubt, you need to source it because it sounds very unlikely.--T. Anthony (talk) 05:40, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

The whole article appears to have NPOV problems - it reads like a political hit job, and the revision history doesn't do a whole lot to dispel that. Sidatio (talk) 12:45, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This had a very bitter divorce. I live in Knox County and will continue to clean it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danandrewsreporter (talk • contribs) 14:14, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The whole article appears to have NPOV problems - it reads like a political hit job against his (ex) wife: libelous. and the revision history doesn't do a whole lot to dispel that. The entire section should be removed except for the facts. Not just his politicos rhetoric. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.70.126.67 (talk) 02:37, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the NPOV tag for now. If there any further NPOV issues, please detail them here. Bms4880 (talk) 18:10, 3 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"County game warden"?

I am not aware of there being "county game wardens" in Tennessee, and really doubt there ever were any. If such ever existed, it was been over a half-century ago, at least. Could this editor perhaps have meant the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, a state agency funded through user fees? 2600:1004:B105:F853:D4E1:A6FE:4950:8B08 (talk) 23:07, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
