message: The number of loans that are "delinquent" is irrelevant and misleading. Delinquency is a claim that the bank makes against a loan holder meaning the loan holder has not held up his end of the contract. Once the dispute goes to court or arbitration occurs or an agreement is reached the loan is no longer "delinquent."
For example, say I buy a car and only make one payment. After about two months the bank will file a claim of delinquency. Once they drag me to court and a settlement is reached, the loan is no longer "delinquent."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheTacoKing96 (talk • contribs) 21:29, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

message: Factcheck.org is a 527 organization. By definition, a 527 organization promotes a political platform. Factcheck.org is therefore a biased source.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.28.186.30 (talk) 03:08, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  FactCheck.org 

message: Fully aware that this is not Mark Kirk's Wiki page, but unless these comments go on to Mark Kirk's page (which I doubt they will since his misstatements are barely on there), it should go on this one since it is factually accurate information about Giannoulias (per Factcheck.org and other sources) and are in regards to statements made about him, just like the Broadway Bank and Bright Start info.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.26.85.253 (talk) 22:15, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Not Mark Kirk's Page" 

message: Numerous reliable sources (LA Times)(MSNBC)(NYT) seem to be reporting this exchange between Giannoulias and David Gregory in which Giannoulias appears to admit knowledge of criminal activities by individuals receiving loans from Broadway. It seems like this would rise to notability? Ronnotel (talk) 20:35, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree. "Seem to be" and "appears to admit" do not meet the standard. Plus as you gently reminded me the other day over at the Bob Dold talk page - "Please remember that this is a BLP and anything that goes on this page needs to be relevant after the election as well as before." :) Politifact ranked this partisan attack line from the candidate's opponent as only "Half True" months ago. Cardinal91 (talk) 00:06, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Er - "partisan dig"? We're talking about the candidates own words as reported by sources that can hardly be called bastions of conservatism. As for relevance after the election, failing to comply with AML rules can lead to Federal sanctions and even loss of license. This is a big deal and the press is all over this - rightly so. Some mention belongs on the page. Ronnotel (talk) 12:15, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

text: Yes, I agree on the need for completely solid sourcing on something like this. No need to rush this. Thanks for your input. Ronnotel (talk) 17:43, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  admits knowing of criminal background to loan recipients? 

message: Why is this article protected? And why, wasn't the protection discussed here first? I asked the user who made it protected for clarification. --Charles Jeffrey Danoff 21:38, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: He answered, see the history at .  The worst of it is in the trash and you won't be able to see it, but the article was attracting far too much libel from IPs.  The article is merely semi-protected, so that IP's and newly registered editors can not edit it. --Charles Jeffrey Danoff 21:58, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
