Talk:James Hahn

message: California local political offices, such as Mayor of Los Angeles, are non-partisan.  It is illegal for a candidate for such an office to say, "vote for me because I'm a Libertarian," or anything similar, and it is likewise illegal for a party to endorse a candidate for a local office, thus it is technically incorrect to state that Hahn is a Democrat, even if he's registered as one, as he has never held a partisan position.

replies: text: It does seem odd. I'm not sure that it isn't encyclopedic though. At least the editor didn't link them all. (If you think they should go I won't complain.) -Willmcw 22:01, July 19, 2005 (UTC)
that the staff is included indicates that hahn staffers are actively editing this site, and is rather masturbatory" 207.200.116.199 22:33, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is a list of staff really necessary? 

message: I'm all for highlighting Hahn's particular success, but we need to condense this 42-point list down to a paragraph or two. This reads like a press release, and presumes that every initiative was successul. -Willmcw 07:56, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, for starters, we don't have sources for any of these supposed achievements. The implication is that every program was successful. I suggest we go back to his biographies and news stories and make sure we are compiling sourced, verifiable info, rather than a list of things that he tried to achieve. Laet's take a week or two and proponents of this list can find sources. Eventually though unsourced claims should be removed. -Willmcw 01:16, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been three weeks and I still don't see any sources for Hahn's accomplishments. -Willmcw 22:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Mayoral achievements

message: *On January 7, 2006, Hahn attended and spoke at a memorial service at Los Angeles City Hall and at a private residence for former County Federation of Labor leader Bill Robertson.
Why is this significant? As a big-city politician, Hahn has undoubtedly attended dozens of funerals andmade hundrededs of speeches. There's no indication that Robertson was a personal friend. What does the source say? What is our source? -Will Beback 19:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If non-notable events are added then they'll be removed. This is an encyclopedia article, not a Hahn-adoration site. The list of unsourced "achievements" is already far too long. Please sign your talk page posts. Thanks, -Will Beback 01:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
