Talk:Bill Young (Florida politician)

message: Is there a NPOV way to say something along the lines of she was not arrested, however, like fellow t-shirt wearing protestor Cindy Sheehan? Youngamerican 21:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: this may be a tall order, but as a canadian relatively (ha!) divorced from u.s. politics, 'wearing a t-shirt which read "Support the Troops Defending Our Freedom"' does not explain to me why she was ejected.  such a statement could be construed as for or against the occupation of iraq.  as someone who genuinely does not understand this specific contraversy, i ask: to what extent was this a major news story in american media and how was this incident perceived?  was it deemed as as supporting the occupation (as in the shirt meant don't protest the war) or as in, respect the men and women involved but give them better conditions, etc.  was she deemed as an ally or opponent of sheehan?
this may seem obvious to americans familiar with this story, but i really am genuinely seeking clarificatioin on the connotations of the article.  i realize NPOV may be hard to keep, but i know there are wiki-writers capable of it.
for those genuinely unfamiliar with bill young (and his wife) such as i, such clarification would be helpful.  Wencer 07:44, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  suggestions for elaboration 

message: I put in the usual structure, but it's still a remarkably poor article, imo. Instead of focusing on the person and his career, it focuses on his electoral history, a string of controversies, and two (2) issue positions. I suppose t-shirts are a big thing in Florida, but still...doesn't he ever actually DO something in Congress? Flatterworld (talk) 02:35, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Balance 

message: I removed the section noting that Young had sponsored legislation naming a diplomatic building after Mel Sembler. The sourced Washington Post article doesn't mention the issue that the wikipedia article implies is important - that Sembler's drug abuse rehab center was accused of abuse. Instead it criticizes the decision to name the building after Sembler as narcissism. Adding in material about Sembler's business seems to be OR and POV given that he is best known as an ambassador to Australia and Italy and a major Republican fundraiser. If we take it out, we're just left with the statement that Young had a building named after a friend, which some people thought was unusual. That really doesn't seem encyclopedic.
