Neutrality

How is the neutrality of this page disputed when no one has even begun to talk on the talk page? I am removing the neutrality advisory. Dreammaker182 (talk) 07:28, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's misleading to call James a politician since he has never held an elected governmental office--the word politician usually means a professional political official, right? His work with the Alabama Tea Party is really better described as "activism", isn't it? Can the paranthetical qualifier after his name be changed to "business man" or "entrepreneur"?

Tosh.0

I have removed the following from the Gubernatorial Section:

"This stance was also highlighted on Tosh.0's "Is It Racist?" segment <ref?[1]."

Mostly because the claim was unsourced (the broken link provided directs to a YouTube video that has been removed from Viacom for trademark violation), but also because I strongly believe this small piece of information is not notable enough for inclusion on the page. Remember: the article is about the person Tim James - it's not about the television advertisement he released or the controversy it caused.

I'm a fan of the show, Tosh.0, and I've seen the clip mentioned. I thought it was hilarious and I was appalled by the actual ad by James. However, in the "Is it Racist?" segment, Daniel Tosh makes a few jokes and pokes fun at the commercial, he does not introduce new information, nor does he deliver a serious review or commentary on the ad or its implications. The paragraph already includes four mentions of national media attention (properly referenced) so the addition of Tosh.0 reads a little extraneous. As it stood, it was more trivia than informative.

I am not against this info being added to the page, so if anyone feels its notable enough, please find a valid source that is likely to remain posted and update the section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ocrasaroon (talk • contribs) 21:27, 22 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject:Tim James?

I'm interested in starting a WikiProject to translate the Tim James article across every language of Wikipedia, because it makes sense. Does it to you? ;) 67.176.48.174 (talk) 04:07, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strange and Moore election...

"Sometimes you've got to show tough love to your own guys," said Tim James, the son of former Republican Gov. Bob James. Trump, James said, is "gonna think twice before he jumps in a family feud again."

Lots of contribution for his rising role on the national scene....--Wikipietime (talk) 13:48, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Immigration

I added a section in James political positions about his views on immigration but I don't know if it's necessary or not. Also I got the info about it from his website but I'm new to Wikipedia so I don't know how to site stuff so if someone could do that and fix any mistakes I made I'd appreciate it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt from Alabama (talk • contribs) 02:38, 1 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
