Talk:Raj Bhakta

message: who post this guys compain statement here? Wiki suppose to post fact, not what his "idealized" congress should looks like, this is not a place for compain ads.--69.149.61.80 01:09, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: At this time, this merely states the facts that he has made these "campaign promises".  As long as NPOV is maintained (i.e. "Raj claims he will..." and not simply "Raj will..."), this remains an encyclopedic entry about a political candidate. 71.162.141.213 01:46, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Campaign statement?

message: This article reads like a campaign ad.  It really needs some work. --Phoenix Hacker 03:41, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  I've corrected all the NPOV violations I could find without doing a rewrite.  This article could use more verifiable information. 71.162.141.213 03:55, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment

message: I vehemently disagree with your assertion that the story about the church campaigning is a "gossip".  It is reported news from the City's most respected newspaper.  You have extensively excerpted "news" from Stu Bykofsky (a "gossip" columnist for the Daily News) so you are using "gossip" as news when the story is favorable to you, but rejecting "gossip" as "conjecture" when it does not suit your political goals.  Don't be a hypocrite!
Oh come now fellas lets be civil about this. I am not being a hypocrite, I agree Bykofsky is a gossip/opinion columnist but what he had in his column was just an event, nothing opinion. The column regarding the carnival has unsubstantiated claims. If there were interviews from both sides regarding the issue that would be news. That piece was just someone writing about what they thought the issue was. Ryanthedon 04:12 2 August 2006 (UTC)
:The article does dodge the issue, in that it doesn't state why the church was so insistent against him campaigning on their property:  it is inappropriate for a church to endorse a candidate. Allowing him and nobody else to campaign could be perceived as an endorsement, and then the church has the IRS to deal with. It looks like fair reporting to me. —C.Fred (talk) 03:35, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The text of the report is hardly reference-quality material. Phrases like "press-the-flesh/kissing-babies/autographing fuss" and "apple-pie photos" aren't exactly the mark of an objective reporter. GMcGath 20:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inappropriate campaigning 

message: Bruceberry please The Hill article is not a verifiable article. Once again this is pure conjecture that is based on rumor. The witness is the chief of staff of his opponent, not the best source of information. Ryanthedon 14:56, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding ''The Hill'' Article

message: I am citing the campaign website for information regarding the biography of the subject. There is nothing in the Background section of what I posted that would be anything but factual. This is just the history and background of Raj Bhakta nothing more. It is right to assume that personal websites are primary sources, according to Wikipedia. I am not posting anything that is biased and unverifiable, just information from a primary source. Ryanthedon 03:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Regarding ''Background''

message: I believe that this article is so fraught with information that is either fictitious or fraudulent that it should be deleted.  "Ryanthedon" insists he is not part of the Bhakta campaign, yet if you go to the campaign website and blog, posts are made on behalf of the campaign by "Ryan D" of "Team Raj".  Please stop insulting our intelligence and degrading the quality of Wikipedia. Bruceberry
There is nothing on here that is against Wikipedia policy. It is a biography of a political candidate. I am trying to be civil about all of this Bruceberry. What in this article is fictitious? Wikipedians on this page along with myself have made sure and taken their time to source this article. You are being ridiculous and Wikipedia is not the place for this. It is outrageous to delete an article for a political candidate who is a major party nominee in a national election. Do you want to delete Ned Lamont's article too? Wikipedia is not the place to target individuals one does not like. Ryanthedon 13:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The efforts are unsuccessful, and they will never be successful - so it's not a big deal. WilyD 11:26, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Calling For Deletion of Entire Article

message: This is childish and immature. I hope an administrator monitors this site a little closer. It is an encyclopedia article, again, not for a negative point of view. Lieutenantpage 14:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Redirecting "Horse's Ass"?

message: Some of the debate in the history comment section of the article has lately revolved around properly sourced information that generally portrays Bhakta as being an irresponsible drunk driver. Given his desire to be in a position of leadership at the Federal level of the U.S. government, citing Bhakta's actions *seem* like a partisan effort to smear his character. However, it's one thing for Bhakta to guzzle one drink after another and in so doing endanger his *OWN* life and health, but it's quite a different matter when a drunken Bhakta unsteadily stumbles into his car and proceeds to drive it on public roads endangering the life and health of *OTHERS*. Regardless of whether Bhakta were running for office, he is a "celebrity" by his own admission, and therefore his activities will be the subject of public praise, ridicule, and discussion. --216.164.159.128 16:20, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, it's fine and belongs - there's nothing to worry about.  Campaign staffers or general supports will mess up the articles for politicians.  It's an easy revert then. WilyD 19:19, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV Related Issues Regarding Drunk Driving 

message: I am amazed at how this article has been butchered.  Raj really lives in a world of revisionist history.  Kudos to you and your people for cranking out this wonderful piece of public relations puffery, having elminated all prior edits relating to DUIs, condemnation by the Inquirer editorial board for shady business deals, etc.  You are on your way to greatness!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruceberry (talk • contribs) 17:11, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
