Talk:Morgan Carroll

message: I have again reverted recent additions to the page because they do not adhere to our WP:NPOV policy. In particular, the large block quote from Caroll's campaign website and the long list of endorsements are campaign-like and encyclopedic. Endorsements typically go on the election page, in this case that would be here: United States House of Representatives elections in Colorado, 2016. Please don't restore these edits without discussing here first and gaining WP:CONSENSUS. In general, with your first edits its best to start out small rather than making too many major edits at once.

thread_title:  Non-neutral additions to this page 

message: Sorry! Unintended - I'm new to Wikipedia and just saw your message. Still figuring out the system. As full disclosure, I am an unpaid intern with Morgan and have been tasked with updating the page (note as of 9/6/16 photo was from 2006, did not include her tenure in the Colorado House of Representatives in the infobox, listed her as running for the Democratic nomination, not as the candidate etc). I wish to fully honor Wikipedia's standards, but also fairly quickly develop a page comparable to that of other public figures to include legislation she has sponsored and committees she has served on. All guidance and assistance in accountability welcomed. I can post all intended edits here for external review for neutrality before updating the page if that is amenable to the community, and will remove any campaign sources. Please let me know if at the moment it is okay to restore the updated Infobox to include Colorado House of Representatives tenure, Education and background section, and Personal Life.

thread_title:  Note from [[Morgan Carroll]]'s intern 

message: Hi there, I am an intern with Morgan Carroll and would like to suggest 3 small additions to the opening section of the page (mentioning Carroll's tenure as a state representative, that she stepped down as minority leader to run for US Congress, and her specializations at her law firm). Given WP:COI, I ask that this be added, or added in an edited form, to the page if it complies with WP:PROMOTION and WP:NPOV.
To add to the Infobox:
"
| state_house2=Colorado
| state2=Colorado
| district2=36th
| term_start2=January 2005
| term_end2=November 2008
"
Potential updated intro section, with changes in bold

thread_title:  Some Proposed Changes to 2016 US Congress Campaign section 

message: This source is a trivial mention. If this were noteworthy, there would surely be more coverage than a passing mention in a Politico newsletter. It is WP:UNDUE to include this content with such scanty sourcing. Safehaven86 (talk) 16:00, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed her criticism of Paul Ryan. One passing mention in a POLITICO tipsheet isn't quite significant enough to add to the page. Meatsgains (talk) 16:49, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
