message: One of John Ashcroft's final acts as Attorney General was to order federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty for Massino. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 15:55, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Joseph Massino 

message: The information re the curtain being drawn in front of two statues (Spirit of Justice, a female, and the male Majesty of Justice) occurs in two sections of this entry.
It is more fully covered in the section "Political Issues" than in "As U.S. Attorney General."  I was planning to eliminate the less detailed version but felt someone might have a reason it should be mentioned twice (?)

message: It might be just me but the musican categories strike me as out of place. Despite his musical activity he clearly an amateur (I don’t mean that as a knock). The musican categories are really only meant for professional musican or people who meet Notability for their musical activities-not for hobbiest, no matter how famous otherwise. Does anybody have any thoughts? Grey Wanderer (talk) 05:41, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Musican Category

message: "He has written several books about political and ethic."  This doesn't make sense.  Please fix. 108.226.82.214 (talk) 04:01, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Second paragraph 

message: See edit summary just before time stamp of this Talk entry. I checked one of several paragraphs in one section, and found repeated violations of WP:VERIFY. Earlier references to "pancreatitis", Stellar Wind, "semi-conscious"-ness, and phone call to security detail (¶4, earlier and closing sentences) were not found in the appearing end-of-paragraph source. (Oddly, the source was placed after the last sentence, which in particular was also not verifiable at that source!) Likely, this fast-and-loose approach was used elsewhere, so I would recommend a top-down check of sources here. Cheers. 2601:246:C700:19D:B160:B273:E4A3:8B0F (talk) 05:49, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Issues with correspondence between stated sources and content

message: TL/DR - he is not known for being either a songwriter or musician, so why is songwriter in the lead sentence and the page in a musicians category? Removing songwriter from lead sentence, any views on musician category?
This guy has written and recorded a few songs but it is not something he is known for at all. His musical activities do not even have their own section in this page, it makes up a couple of lines in his personal life section. While notable enough for inclusion in the article, to mention it in the lead section is clearly WP:UNDUE. Without his political career, his music work alone would unlikely make him noteable enough for his own page - it is little more than WP:TRIVIA.
