Talk:Patrick Fitzgerald

message: The newly added personal section seems at best muddled and out-of-place in this type of article (what is the relevance of the cat story?). I also wonder about the sources mentioned but not cited. Perhaps the section should be removed or at least cleaned up.

replies: text: *I'm pretty sure that New York Times, October 22 2005, "Leak Prosecutor Is Called Exacting and Apolitical" is the correct reference, but registration is required to view the article. NatusRoma 02:29, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

text: Where are the references or sources? List some or this section WILL be removed again! --JohnDBuell 11:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

text: In this case it's simply not just registration that's required, it would be payment required to read the full article online. Wikipedia requires verifiability, and I don't know how many editors will a) have access to other sources of copies of the New York Times from 2005 or b) be willing to pay US$5 to read the article online. But such references MUST be added when material is added, especially in biographies of living people (though that's true for every article). Under policies for biographies of living people, unreferenced statements will be the first to go, because of the potential that they can be construed as 1) unverifiable 2) original research or worst yet 3) potentially libelous.

thread_title:  Personal section? 

message: This section is not supported by any newsmedia source. I have searched both LexisNexis and Yahoo! News and have found nothing apart from Counterpunch to support Fitzgerald's alleged involvement with the yellowcake forgery. Please provide further verification.

message: I live in Illinois, and as much as we need Patrick Fitzgerald, he did not start the investigations of George Ryan.  Operation Safe Road started in the mid-late 1990s.  When I can find sourceable material, I will post it.  However, it was under Patrick Fitzgerald that George Ryan was prosecuted and convicted. Wat Tyler 00:42, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have another copyright free, fair use or government image of Patrick Fitzgerald? I added the one that I took from a DOJ website a year or two ago but the link is no longer active and so it will be deleted. --Daysleeper47 17:36, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Just because the URL to the image is now 404 doesn't mean that it's not a free image. The PD-USGov-DOJ tag you did looks proper. I reverted the speedy deletion edit that User:Tom did. Jebba 04:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This section is a bit weak on sources, isn't it? Just two given, both blogs, one of which (Fudge Yeti) seems to have disappeared entirely. 86.132.139.119 (talk) 18:13, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Speculation on Possible Attorney General Nomination" section 

message: Barack Obama's predecessor as a Senator from Illinois was one Peter Fitzgerald.  A quick examination of the Wikipedia articles shows that the two Fitzgeralds are highly unlikely to be brothers: they were born a few weeks apart (in late 1960) in different states.  (Of course we haven't seen the "vault copies" of their birth certificates yet, so we don't know for sure where either of them was actually born.... but I digress.)  But, could they be cousins?  They do have similar names and similar life stories.  Timothy Horrigan (talk) 18:29, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh I see, now that the shoe is on the other partisan foot, the Fitzmas article disappears and is replaced by a re-direct to this article?
Har! What a scam. Even so, the term "Fitzmas" is currently is use. Here's a current WSJ article with it in the title.  the "Fitzmas" article should be restored. 216.153.214.89 (talk) 23:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

text: ugh does anyone have teh text from the original argicle. WE could caull some of the sources used in the old Fitzmas article for creationg of a separate section if it is desired by the consensus. User:Smith Jones 16:27, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you click on the redirect for Fitzmas at the top of the article that will take you to Fitzmas where you can get its history. Americasroof (talk) 17:51, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I just trimmed the infobox which included laugh lines such as " Height = Classified" and "Place of Death = N/A".  There really should be some sort of consensus on what does and doesn't go into an infobox.--Duffy2032 (talk) 07:25, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
