Talk:Sandi Jackson

message: In this section the word "hugfest" is used. That doesn't seem awfully encyclopaedic to me. Any comments? Fribbler (talk) 23:23, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hugfest is a very well-known  colloquial reference for the occurance.  If you talk to anyone about the DNC hugfest or Jesse Jackson, Jr. Hugfest there is no confusion on what you art talking about.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM)  22:12, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hugfest is not a word. Hugfest is not English. This is the English language Wikipedia. This article should be easily comprehendable to those who are not previously familiar with the event. Suggest adding "termed a "hugfest" by the press" or some such if you feel strongly about this term for some reason. Hugh (talk) 18:49, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Dick Simpson is not a commentator.  He is more of an expert on the occurrences on City Council than any writer  because he is a former two-term (eight-year) alderman [1971-1979, 3 decades ago] himself. No further citation is needed.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM)  22:22, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Simpson is a commentator. Simpson is not a reporter. His background does not change that. Not everything that appears in a newspaper is RS. Simpson's writing in the Sun-Times appears on the editorial page. His writing is not subject to the same vetting as news reporting. The two Simpson references are opinion pieces as defined in WP:RS and therefore not RS. I think we should delete both citations. Also, I don't think the statements in this article derived from those two sources are critical to the article. I plan to flag them as citation required, and wait a respectful period and then delete them. If someone feels strongly that the statements are important, alternate sources should be sought - or cite "in text" - "according to former alderman Dick Simpson..."

thread_title:  Opinion piece as source and independence 

message: The source (currently ref 55) is to the "Talk Back" column from the Chicago Sun-Times. This occasional feature appears on the editorial page. It is a re-print in the hard-copy dead tree edition of the snarkiest comments from the Sun-Times' blogs. Blog posts are not generally acceptable WP:RS and blog comments are even more suspect. Not everything that appears in a newspaper is RS. These comments are not subject to the same vetting as news articles. The authors are not reporters. Also, I believe the statement fragment in the article derived from this ref is not important to the article. I plan to remove the ref, flag the phrase as citation required, wait a respectful period, and if an alternate cite is not found, delete the phrase. Hugh (talk) 19:00, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Blog comments as source

message: Is it at all odd to anyone else that the two pictures of Mrs. Jackson are the same except that one has Jesse Jackson Jr. photoshopped in or out? Maybe there is some other picture that could be used? --Nogburt (talk) 00:21, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
