Talk:Tom Knox

message: Candidates to major offices have generally been given a pass.  Knox is second in the polls right now and has a legitimate candidacy based on the money he has spent.  I would not support a speedy but if you want to AfD it I can post references at that time.
As far as the very recent POV edit that looks right off Mr. Knox official bio, that's got to go.  Montco 12:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Speedy Request

message: I had hoped that the admins would wait until I got home from work before speedying the article so I would have something to start with.  But I think this is a reasonable start for the article.  If someone has access to the polling data, its probably not a bad idea to come up with a chart.
Would appreciate a quick proofread as I am generally lousy at proofreading my own work. Montco 03:33, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Re-write

message: Anyone have a fair use picture of Knox to post off?
: I emailed his Gubernatorial website and they gave me a photo to use in public domain. Rockyobody (talk) 18:03, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Pictutre

message: It's pretty obvious what needs doing.  Aside from various problems of Wikipedia style and mark-up, it needs copy-edciting, the organisation of the material is peculiar, with (a tiny amount of) biographical material poked in at the end, no notes section, no external links section... (Montco|Montco's edit summary "i told you that if you want it cleaned up, tell us whats wrong" is not only unacceptable in itslef, but obscure; who did he tell, and where?) --Mel Etitis  (Talk) 09:52, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am puzzled by your approach to this article.  You have somehow decided to make your stand on "policy" right here.  Why have you not deleted the thousands of links on virtually every candidate page but focused only on this one?  I don't know what you think of me or anyone else who contributes to this page.  I am not a Knox supporter, we aren't in the same party and I can't vote for or against him.  
At this point, I suggest that you take this to the WP board or whomever and ask for some sort of policy clarification on candidates and links.  You need to ask them to make a ruling on this issue.  Otherwise, you are breaking a standing precedent which has been developed by "consensus" edits on thousands of WP articles to disrupt a page on one person.Montco 22:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You seem to be operating on the peculiar assumption that I read every article on Wikipedia, and pick and choose which to edit.  Perhaps if, as you imply, you've read thousands of articles on political candidates, your assumption is based on your own case; it's not true of me, however.
#The link looked to me to be merely an advert for his campaign, and was certainly presented in a PoV way.
#See our naming conventions for section headings. --Mel Etitis  (Talk) 23:10, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean-up 

message: The Business career section of this article included a request for citation to document Knox's gain of $20 million in his sale of Fidelity Insurance Group. This request was recently removed without a citation being given. If the amount of gain cannot be verified from a reliable source, that text quite simply should not be included in the article, per the verifiability policy. The citation request is being restored. —ADavidB 23:23, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
