Talk:George W. Bush's second term as President of the United States

message: The shoe throwing incident should not be under the "Assassination Attempt" section, since it was obviously not an attempt to assassinate Bush. Separate section? Karlchwe (talk) 04:07, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Shoe throwing

message: I'm rather shocked the discussion page isn't one of the longest in Wiki.  Just two short discussion topics and no reference to things being archived.  I'm still new to Wiki, maybe I'm missing something.
Overall, I'm also suprised by how good the article is, with many many brief references to events that are linked for more detail.  It doesn't sound like an output of the administrations public relations team and isn't a tacky assult by passionate dislikers.  Kudos for Wiki, really, on this one.
While many may have thier own opinions about the president, this article is something I would refer my kids to for a homework assignment.   That's a good thing to say about it.

message: I removed the  and  banners from the page.  They take away from the obvious extensive work done on the page and cast doubt to its authenticity.  I read through much of the page and didn't see much in the way of weasel and peacock.   If they are there, then shouldn't each be commented and discussed on this discussion page, and then just edited to fix the page, instead of just complaining about the page?
I did notice that there were references to reports and sources not very specific.  I would expect a specific name of a report be given that could be looked up on the official U.S. government web site http://www.firstgov.gov
Given the popularity of this topic and the historic nature, I suppose a higher standard of reference could be demanded, but the banners are trite and not in the spirit of Wiki.

replies: text: Especially at the time the banners were given, I think they may not have been much out of place if at all. I admit responsibility for any issues with my own edits, which have been numerous and extensive lately as I think this article deserves to be developed and unfortunately the article in recent months has not enjoyed expansive contributions from many Wikipedians.  I spent several hours yesterday doing what I could in that time to address the problems; I think the article is significantly improved but could always use further help.  For that matter, I agree that the article should make better citations and should have more activity on its talk page to discuss future changes. Overall at this point I think the removal of the banners was merited, and that this article gives a fairly comprehensive and accurate summary of Bush's second term. Nothing is perfect but I do not think it is riddled with peacock or weasel terms. Minutiaman 20:53, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have tried to start a discussion of removing this article as well as the first term article on the George W. Bush talk page.  I believe the George W. Bush article should be the one article covering his presidency.  Let's discuss it there: Talk: George W. Bush-JLSWiki 15:56, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The main article is already huge. If you take a look at it in edit view, you will see the recommendation to split it in different articles at the top. That is actually why I started this article. --The_stuart 15:16, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article should be removed 

message: how cute that there is no mention of the lengths they went to coverup that Cheney was staggering drunk when he shot his friend as they stumbled out of the truck to shoot some birds. And that he was given a full day to sober up before being interviewed by the police.  Bush and Cheney are both alcoholics, and the media covered for them for 8 years.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.208.129 (talk) 11:42, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
