message: "Congressman Bishop serves on the powerful Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, where he is working to reduce congestion on Eastern Long Island and protect the environment."
Whether he is working to reduce congestion or not, or protect the environment, is not cited anywhere. It is not clear how he is working to reduce congestion nor how he is protecting the environment.

message: This entire article lacks citations, the respective ones that are shown do not even come close to referencing the information discussed, especially his 2002 campaign.
Keep this article flagged until someone references this stuff.

message: It says born in 1950 then it says born in 1958. Unless he was born for a second time when he was eight, pick a date. That's really sloppy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.191.184.116 (talk) 03:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is he 50 or 58 

message: Bishop began serving as provost in 2002.

The college went bankrupt and was shuttered 3 years later.  Calling him the "long-time" provost implies that he was at fault for the college's financial woes.
He may or may not have been. His poltical opponents certainly like to imply he was. 
see article here: ooops article is wiki blacklisted.  Anyway "google around" and you'll see.
Personally I don't like the guy, but I wonder if this wiki entry is being fair.

message: #I removed the paragraph about somebody paying his daughter's tuition since the article doesn't explain who they are and why that's controversial.
#I removed the paragraph about the Giffords shooting because there really doesn't seem to be anything controversial about that, and even if it is, it's pretty trivial.
#I removed sections sourced to YouTube videos as those were hardly reliable sources and seemed more like axe grinding.  The Mark of the Beast (talk) 20:16, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Why I trimmed the controversies section

message: In September 2014, the Justice Department closed its investigation without filing charges. However, a two-year-old complaint filed by a political opponent against Bishop remains under review by the House Ethics Committee. [15]
::I think this version is inadequate because it is not quite factually correct. According to the linked newspaper article, Republican Robert Creighton filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics. They then wrote a lengthy report on the matter, issuing it in September 2013. In their report, they recommended that the United States House Committee on Ethics take up the matter, which it agreed to do. So, the United States House Committee on Ethics is reviewing this situation based on a request from the Office of Congressional Ethics and its lengthy report, not because of what Robert Creighton said. Although the OCE acted on a request from Creighton, as a matter of history, the House Ethics Committee is looking at the situation not because of the Creighton complaint, but because of what came from the OCE lengthy investigation.

replies: text:  BlueboyLI, without engaging in a discussion here, after a number of requests from other editors to talk things over in this location, has changed the text back to what I believe to be a factually inaccurate version. Specifically, BlueboyLI has added the sentece, "However, a two-year-old complaint filed by a political opponent against Bishop to The Office of Congressional Ethics, remains under review by the United States House Committee on Ethics." I believe this to be factually inaccurate. The House Committee on Ethics is not reviewing the Creighton complaint. They are reviewing the OCE's report. As a stylistic matter, it goes against WP's Manual of Style "Relative Time References" to use phrases such as "two-year-old". I'm adding a note to BlueboyLI's talk page about this note, where I am encouraging him to participate in a dialogue here on this article's talk page about these issues.
