Talk:Bart Stupak

message: Perhaps it would be useful to include some info on his religious affiliation-he's a member of The Brotherhood which is a religious group that is active around the world. While staying in Washington he stays at a Brotherhood provided home. Some information is here: http://www.harpers.org/archive/2003/03/0079525  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.214.234.204 (talk) 15:53, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've actually had a hard time tracking down his official denomination.  Some sites suggest he is an Evangelical, others that he is a Catholic.  I changed the "Religious Affiliation" to "Roman Catholic" on the basis of the comment here:  http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=MGU0MmM3YTA3MTMzYzEwNWE2OTYzNjc3ODczZjdkZjY=  The statement "Bart is a brother Knight" would have to mean that he's Catholic - only Catholics are eligible for membership in the Knights of Columbus.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.31.47.139 (talk) 17:45, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Stupak suceeded Bob Davis, John Conyers is still in Congress.  Why do people keep changing this?

replies: text: Robert Davis did not represent the 1st District. Conyers preceded Stupak as the representative of the 1st district. The boundaries for congressional districts were dramatically redrawn following the 1990 census, which deserves a note, but as far as succession by district Conyers preceded Stupak in the 1st district. older ≠ wiser 13:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Appeal away. The boundaries for the 1st district were redrawn following the 1990 census. Before that redistricting, John Conyers represented Michigan's 1st district. Robert William Davis may have represented most of what is now the 1st district, but at the time he was serving it was the 11th district. older ≠ wiser 05:29, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

message: This is from the Accutane article:
U.S. Representative Bart Stupak (D-MI) is known for his distrust of Accutane. He believes unadvertised psychological side effects from the drug drove his teenage son, Bartholomew Thomas "B.J" Stupak Jr., to commit suicide in 2000.
Maybe this should be incorporated here?

thread_title:  regarding his son's suicide 

message: The section on "The Family" doesn't have any mention or explanation of what kind of activities are taking place at the facility, or are alleged to be taking place, that Stupak claims he doesn't know about or isn't involved in. It's very puzzling in its current state. (I suspect those allegations may have been in the article at some point but were removed?) 24.126.115.61 (talk) 17:51, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm don't completely understand this article about the Uganda 2009 Anti-Homosexuality Bill, but I'm wondering if it should be included into Stupak's article, or if this source is more of an assumption? Anyone more knowledgeable about this? --Dan LeveilleTALK 01:54, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It definitely needs to be included here. This is a huge deal! --Austin de Rossi (talk) 15:14, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Could someone with the appropriate permissions please fix the healthcare language which not only overtly political but also refers to 'today'?
I find the last few sentences of this section politically biased; in addition no references are cited. They also ignore the fact that A) before voting for the senate bill Stupak received assurances from Obama that an executive order would be used to quell his abortion fears, and B) That the Stupack Amendment offered up by republicans on March 21st was just a veiled parliamentary tactic designed to invalidate the just passed health-care reform bill at the last possible second.

replies: text: Yes no kidding. The subjective remarks at the ends of some of the sections are tantamount to vandalism.alaroz33 (talk) 07:46, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

text: He's not a career politician, he clearly had jobs as a police officer and as a lawyer as the article indicates.  He graduated high school in 1970 and went to college, I'm sure his draft status reflected that.  Whatever the case, pointing out he didn't serve when he could have been drafted is meaningless.  If he had wheels he'd be a wagon too but I'm not putting that in the article.  As far as his religious beliefs he has stated them, whether he follows them is not for you to decide by changing his listing.  Like I said, I couldn't disagree more with the guy and the position he took but vandalizing his article out of frustration is not the proper venue to vent that frustration.  Giving money to his opponent was for me.  Oh, and sign  your comments for pete sake though I had little trouble figuring it out.  --Wgfinley (talk) 14:50, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

message: In the "Biography" section please remove the POV link in the word Accutane in the paragraph about Bart Jr..  It is highly inappropriate. --65.51.209.126 (talk) 17:08, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've changed this to a properly cited reference. However, since this was testimony given before a Congressional hearing on the safey of Accutane and the Congressman's views on the matter, it is a perfectly approrpiate to include it.DCmacnut<> 17:57, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well aren't direct links to external sites against policy.  They should be listed as further reading at the end right? Also, it it POV to link the product name to testimony against the product. Nonetheless, thank you for changing to a Wikipedia page. --65.51.209.126 (talk) 17:32, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This isn't an external link. It's a reference, which is different. Per the [[WP:IC|inline citation guidelines], external links can be used inline as citations (with or without , but they should go at the end of the sentence being cited, like this. The original link was not used in that manner, which, as you pointed out, implied a connection that did not exist.DCmacnut<> 18:52, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
