Talk:Michael Retzer

message: The section that I created five years ago on Retzer's dispute with the Peace Corps has been removed.  Here is what it said:
On June 8, 2007 the White House announced that Retzer would be replaced as Ambassador to Tanzania by Mark Green, 47, a former Republican congressman and unsuccessful gubernatorial candidate in Wisconsin. On June 14, 2007, the Peace Corps announced its strong disagreement with the decision of  Retzer, to withdraw the authorization for Peace Corps Country Director Christine Djondo to remain in Tanzania and the adverse effects of Retzer's decision on the Peace Corps program in Tanzania including cutting the incoming group of volunteers by half to ensure adequate support. On June 27 Senator Chris Dodd put a hold on the nomination of Mark Green to replace Retzer as Ambassador citing Retzer's action as inteference in the independence of the Peace Corps. Dodd asked that Retzer rescind his cable of no confidence of Djondo or that the State Department provide a written apology to her.Green Bay Press Gazette. "Green ambassadorship being held up." June 27, 2007.  The link to the original story has expired.  An archival link is available on Peace Corps Online. On June 28, the State Department provided a written letter of apology to Djondo and Senator Dodd released his hold on Green's nomination allowing it to go forward.Appleton Post Crescent. "State Department apology ends hold on Mark Green's nomination" by Ellyn Ferguson. June 27, 2007.  The link to the original story has expired.  An archival link is available on Peace Corps Online.
Why has this section been removed?  I have put it back in the article today.
Best regards,

message: The introduction focuses too heavily on Ug99. It should certainly be mentioned in the introduction because it helps to establish the notability of stem rust.

Talk:Mike Padden

message: Hi everyone. First off I just want to clarify I have no political or partisan motivation whatsoever, since I never have, probably never will vote on any elections outside my home country, which is thousands of kilometres away from Spokane, Washington.
That being said, I have to apologise if I have done anything not in accordance with Wiki etiquette, but I did it on good faith.
I've got to this article by accident, and as often happens, I found information to be more self-promotional than encyclopedic. Only this once I decided I should help keeping it clean. 
The edit I reversed from  contained what I perceived to be a blatant conflict of interest. The outright deletion of well-sourced references, as well as the addition of what appears to original research - all this concurred to my decision of reverting the edit.
I've also took the time to find references about the conclusion of allegations against Padden, as well as the confirmation of his candidacy. I also tidied up a few references hoping to make the article more organised.
I reiterate I have made changes on good faith. If more experienced authors find any fault please let me know, and I'll be more than willing to learn with your suggestions. Ebacci EN (talk) 23:14, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Mike Panetta

message: Mike Panetta is not a superdelegate.  This post from Democratic Convention Watch has it directly from Panetta that he is not a superdelegate.  Even though the Democratic Call to Convention says that one of DC's add-ons must be used for its shadow representative, the DC selection plan (which was approved by the DNC) did not call for that.  Whereas the shadow senators and congressional delegate are automatically superdelegates by virtue of their positions, the shadow representative is not.  Panetta says he is hoping to be selected as a pledged PLEO, but that would be a spot that has already been counted for Obama in the results of the DC primary.  Panetta wil not be a superdelegate this year.  I don't know whether any of this (or the fact that he has endorsed Obama) is worth putting in the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Galois E (talk • contribs) 01:04, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately Panetta wasn't selected as a pledged PLEO or a pledged at-large delegate either. So he won't be a delegate, super or otherwise. The shadow rep gets no respect, even from the DC Democratic Party. KCinDC (talk) 18:10, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

message: The Teachers' Retirement System, TRS — handles pensions for all Illinois teachers except those in Chicago. William F.Cellini,  a Springfield-based power broker, was charged with wielding influence over TRS and then plotting with top Blagojevich advisers and a corrupt TRS board member to try to extort a $1.5 million campaign contribution from Hollywood producer Thomas Rosenberg. The plot was hatched in 2004 after it was discovered that Rosenberg hadn't contributed to Blagojevich's campaign despite his investment firm's extensive business with TRS. Cellini was charged with using his connections with the state teacher pension board as a way to squeeze a campaign contribution from Rosenberg.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.135.161.207 (talk) 02:32, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Peter Jenkins (travel author)

message: The article fails to mention the important contributions of Peter Jenkins's former wife,
Barbara. They were married when he had completed only half of his walk across America in the
70's. She accompanied him the rest of the way, enduring every difficulty and hardship he did,
until the end of the trek, which took almost two years. She then was a co-author to both
The Walk Across America and The Walk West. She didn't accompany Jenkins on his trip
to China, because she was heavily pregnant. However, she and their children did resettle
in Alaska for many months when he was curious to explore and write about the state. 
Although Peter and Barbara Jenkins eventually divorced, no article about him would be complete
without mentioning his partner of many years.

Talk:Peter Kingsley

message: The article lacks independent, published, secondary, reliable sources; there is almost exclusive use of primary sources, which do nothing to establish notability. See also WP:GOLDENRULE.
It looks like the article has been written backwards. Rather than writing what we personally know of the subject (or what the subject says about themself), and then hunting around for citations to back that up (or ignoring the need to source all significant facts), we should first collect together reliable, secondary sources and then write the article content to accurately reflect what those sources actually say.
@: Editors who have a close connection with a BLP subject, or a potential conflict of interest, should also disclose that connection. Queries and questions about this and  other matters can be posed at the Teahouse.
Reception would be one way of increasing the use of secondary reliable sources and demonstrating notability.
