message: Why was Dan Lungren not confirmed as State Treasurer?

replies: text: The Democrat-controlled state Legislature (actually, I think it is just the state Senate that votes on such matters) was unhappy that Governor Deukmeijian had nominated a conservative Republican to replace the late Jesse Unruh, a liberal Democrat.

message: I am curious to know why his extensive involvement with the discussion about violence in video games is not mentioned in this article. It is a highly notable point of one of the biggest moments in video game history, and he was helping to lead the charge.
This article seems to have NPOV issues, where every fact that may not be positive appears to have been censored over the years. I see many, many questionable removals of facts that needed to be cleaned up to a neutral point of view rather than removed outright.
This notable incident should be in the article, with an obvious neutral tone, but to leave it out completely brings this article's neutrality into question. SashaNein (talk) 22:00, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mortal Kombat and Video Game Violence 

message: I previously removed the voting history because it was a POV subset of the voting history.  I noted my reasoning in my edit, then the anonymous editor simply added them back with no explanation for the selection.  The anonymous editor seems to have an ax to grind against Dan Lungren--I have no other explanation for why only some major votes are included in the history (and most of those are votes where he voted against the majority, which is common for a member of congress in the minority).  I suppose it is possible the editor likes Lungren and choses these votes for similarly POV reasons, but either way, it's not POV to post a subset of votes that support your own viewpoint.

replies: text: First, please sign your posts by typing four tildes.  You are clearly very passionate about Lungren which makes sense since you are posting anonymously from California State University, Sacramento -- near his district.  I think you are picking specific bills because they are significant to the POV you have, not because they have great significance for him as a politician.  I think it makes more sense to simply link to the voting history and only list bills where Lungren was the author or a sponsor of the bill.  Wikipedia is not supposed to be an exhaustive database of voting history on each politician.  Other people seem to agree that the voting list should not be part of the article, so I think it is time to trim it down to either (a) a link to the voting history at a non-partisan site or (b) a list of bills that he sponsored or authored.

text: I linked the main page to this section, though it's as much a WP:NOT#CENSOR issue as an NPOV issue.  The anon users have a point.  Removing all references to a vote history, as was done most recently here seems more like censorship than POV removal, IMO.--Elvey (talk) 18:00, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV dispute added 

message: The article states he resigned in 1989, due to his nomination for State Treasurer, by then-Gov. George Deukmeijian (the state Senate refused to confirm Lungren).  However, Democratic State Treasurer Jesse Unruh died in office back in August of 1987.  How long did it take for Deukmeijian to nominated Lungren, anyway?  My own memory tells me that 1989 was not the year Lungren resigned from Congress.  I think it was more like 1987, which frankly makes a lot more sense.  I don't have the data, unfortunately, but I'm pretty sure that 1989 resignation date is incorrect. KevinOKeeffe (talk) 22:14, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: When Did Lungren Resign from Congress?

message: I'm not sure why such a claim is made in the article.  He left the House in 1989.  Newt wasn't elected to be Speaker until 1995.  He only became Minority Whip in 1989, so if Congressman Lungren was a "chief lieutenant" to Congressmen Gingrich, who doesn't appear to have yet been elected to a leadership position, then the article makes a grandiose claim that Congressman was a chief lieutenant to another Congressman. Huh?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.191.210.13 (talk) 06:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
