message: Just to add precision about Anne Holton's education, at Princeton "Woodrow Wilson School" is itself a major (like, Physics or Economics). Normally there is no statement like "economics and Woodrow Wilson..." that applies. 
It's a Princeton thing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.167.62.139 (talk) 22:04, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not a chief judge? 

message: User: Archwayh has several times inserted unsourced material. I have no problem with the proposed sentence, in theory, but we can't include unsourced material here. According to WP:BLP "contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." An encyclopedia depends on reliable sources to determine which happenings are notable. Flyte35 (talk) 00:59, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what I wrote in his talk page: With all due respect, I don't think you understand what "soursing" is all about. It's about providing credibility and avoiding false or misleading information in Wiki; this is not the case. This is a fact. It's like asking me to provide source that Barack Obama is the POTUS. Here's the source  -- in which you see that Mr Holton was the first GOP governor since Gilbert Carlton Walker (1870–1875) -- the end of the Reconstruction. Second, you can see that the only 3 previous GOP governors before Holton are "provisional governor" -- which means they were not elected. This is a well sourced fact. We shouldn't continue arguing about facts. Update: I'm now warning you -- it's clear you either trolling or deliberately corrupting this entry while trying to hide information you don't like, presumably for political reasons. That's not how we operate here. Should you continue -- you'll be reported. Archway (talk) 01:34, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  The source that you've now provided for this text--and seriously, thank you for including a source, which is essential--is a list of the governors of Virginia and brief information. It does not specifically indicate Anne Holton's father was the first Republican governor of Virginia since the Reconstruction, and also the first Republican to win a popular election as governor of the state. In fact, the source seems to indicate that, as Reconstruction lasted from 1865 to 1870, and Republican Gilbert Carlton Walker was governor from  1870 to 1874, A. Linwood Holton was not the first GOP governor since Reconstruction. The source also doesn't indicate when popular voting was restored. The information is not supported by the sourcing.

thread_title:  Unsourced material 

message: I have replaced the previously inserted infobox image with a more complimentary image.  In the new photo, she's smiling, is looking straight ahead rather than down her nose, and her hair doesn't look like it's been combed with an old fashioned egg-beater.  -- WV ● ✉ ✓  00:06, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I have reverted to the "official" photo per it is a work prepared by an officer or employee of the United States Government as part of that person’s official duties under the terms of Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 105 of the US Code.  IMO the official photo looks more "dignified" and it would be best to not use a photo taken by an individual at a function to replace it.  Gandydancer (talk) 16:37, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The one up there now isn't good. It's small and blurry and appears to be a crop of some larger photo of Rep. Bobby Scott with a bunch of other people at an event. It's not the official photo of the subject. This is the official photo of her as education secretary of Virginia here. Flyte35 (talk) 17:34, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree with your suggestion.  Can you get the one you suggest?   Gandydancer (talk) 18:08, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't know what the permissions for that one are. I'd prefer to go back to the photo that was posted before. There's nothing wrong with using a photo from a campaign event. The picture was taken by an established photographer, in fact one of the most widely published political photographers in the United States. Flyte35 (talk) 20:53, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Infobox image 

message: I think changing the section headings might be helpful. Currently, "Early life" focuses heavily on education, even though the next section is "Education, marriage and children." "Civic involvements and personal life" are also a little disconnected. I'm usually a proponent of putting personal life at the end, but given the large role her marriage plays in her public role, I understand the need to have some earlier mention. We could do "Early life and education" and separate "Personal life" and Civic involvements" at the end, but still add some mention of the marriage either at the end of education (law school) and just expand on the topic in the "Personal life" section. Or we can try to take things more chronologically and add things like marriage and kids where they fall in relation to other life events. Any thoughts on this?
