Talk:Rick Renzi

message: I reverted the edits made to this article by the above users. The edits made by 143... completely remade the article, deleting much information and replacing it with content couched in fawning language. The edits made by 207... were minor, mainly replacing "majority" with "plurality" in reference to voter registration, when there is in fact a Democratic majority in that district. I reverted thinking I was logged in, that's why it has my IP adress instead of username. --JMurphy 23:26, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Harsh language there, dude. Anyway, sorry for the mistake, and thanks for pointing it out. Not to criticize, but you might want to consider getting yourself a username, since you're active enough to engage talk pages and such.--JMurphy 03:32, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edits by 143.231.249.141 and 207.200.116.134 

message: I reverted the edits made by 143.231.249.141 made at 22:33, 5 December 2005, because the article was rewritten (not reverted) to look almost exactly the way that user left it about two weeks ago. A quick google search of a short phrase reveals that the user changed the article to look almost exactly like an official biography for Rep. Renzi, such as the one posted about him to the US House Intelligence Committee. The change deleted much relevant information, replacing it with an article of much lesser quality. A warning has been left on that user's talk page. --JMurphy 07:26, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edit by 143.231.249.141 have been reverted again

message: None of the allegations against DeLay have been proven. Ronnie Earle, the Tom Delay prosecutor, has a history of indictments against Democrat and Republican political enemies that have failed (see Kay Bailey Hutchison) and it has been widely reported that Earle had to shop the charges to several grand juries because some refused to indict.  One of the charges filed by Earle was summarily dismissed by trial judge Pat Priest. Earle has partnered up with producers making a movie, called The Big Buy, about his pursuit of DeLay that has been filming since before DeLay was notified of the charges.   
This was added because the added statement about Tom Delay is an unproven allegation that is used to make the member of congress guilty by association. Especially when there is much evidence that Ronnie Earle's indictments are politically motivated. You cannot include one side of an unproven allegation and not include the other, to do so would be unfair and biased.
:That's all well and good, but last time I checked this article was about Rick Renzi, not what you think about Tom Delay's ongoing investigation and prosecution. I'm sure the expert editors who are keeping a close eye on the Delay scandal could set you straight-- if you read the article and talk page for Tom Delay. Just don't try to insert your opinion into Wikipedia, especially in a place where it's not relevant. --JMurphy 16:14, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Delay

message: In September 2004, at OurCongress.org, a variety of detailed comments about Renzi were posted  .  A couple of items are, I think, potentially quite valuable for this article, but the source fails WP:RS, so I am not going to use it unless a valid source can be found.  In particular, anyone's help on locating sources for the following (or any contradictory info, for that matter) would be appreciated:
*Property records indicate that Renzi and his wife left Arizona in 1986, when they moved to Burke, Virginia. Based on statements made by Renzi, the [Department of Defense] program [which employed Renzi] ended in the late 1980s, at which point he obtained a Virginia insurance license and ran an insurance business in Burke.
*According to documents filed with the insurance commissions of three states – including Arizona – Renzi was a legal resident of Virginia. Renzi was registered as an out-of-state insurance agent in Arizona, Connecticut and Florida. [what years?]
Related to this, any information about the physical location of Renzi and Company (or "Renzi & Co. Inc.", or a variation thereof, since renamed Patriot Insurance Agency Inc.), Renzi's insurance firm, from its founding in 1989 until 2000, would be appreciated. [Note: old versions of the renzi.com website are, unfortunately, inaccessible via archive.org - and of course that may not even be the domain the company used.]  Similarly, info on Renzi Vino Inc. and Renzi Investments Inc. (now Fountain Realty Development Inc.) would be appreciated - when they were started, how much money was invested and in what, etc.  John Broughton  |  Talk 23:15, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

message: In the Early Life section, I changed "Renzi's father is now" to was based on this line from this story "Renzi's father, U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Eugene Carmen Renzi (retired), died on Feb. 9."  Similar change made in "Father's company" section. Patrick Harrigan (talk) 17:19, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
