Talk:Christopher G. Donovan

message: I'm sure there was plenty of useful and pertinent information added by the CT House Dems to this article. However, it was added in the form of a self-serving press release including a plethora of "peacock words" and a paucity of objective third party sources.
Try to revise the existing article. And please do this on personal time; not using taxpayer funds for this project. (Maybe the $165,000/year press aide from NYC thought this brilliant idea up?)
You're still not there. Maybe the statements in the article are accurate, but still appear to be complete lifts from the guy's official bio. There must be some press coverage that documents he actually did some of these things. Please add it.
:Regardless of accuracy, most of it read as a resume rather than an encyclopedia article, so it's been removed and now the article looks about like it did last February. VernoWhitney (talk) 18:22, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Re: Christopher G. Donovan, don't you find it at little odd that the CTHDO2010 wsa created today and had only edited that one page until today because it was an IP user, and is likely somehow tied to the campaign? Markvs88 (talk) 20:28, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Excuse me if I don't understand, but let me see if I'm getting you correctly: you're supporting the removal of a cited point from a newspaper of record (The Hartford Courant) that a public official supported something? Markvs88 (talk) 21:17, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. It lacks encyclopedic significance, and is framed in an insinuatory manner. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:44, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree that it lacks significance, since it is no more or less important than any number of points on the Joe Lieberman or Jodi Rell pages, and is a part of the public record. If you objected to just the tone of the sentance, you could easily rewrite it instead of just removing it. Markvs88 (talk) 21:55, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Why would you not accept a perfectly neutral re-write? Markvs88 (talk) 17:07, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
