message: :Image:Mikebouchard.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Mikebouchard.jpg

message: Mtndo removed content that shouldn't have been removed. Even unflattering content should remain, when it complies with all rules and policies. This is not an auto-biography with the unflattering information left out. One only needs to look at Kwame Kilpatrick's page to see that content is not restricted to flattering content.

message: Your paragraph gives an absurdly too long description of what is ultimately a minor controversy. It's hardly worth mentioning in a biography stub. I also believe it is misleading as it completely fails to mention that the mental patient in question brutally killed a woman he knew with an ax and shovel, and then was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

message: Whether it is minor or not depends on ones point of view. I don't believe that an Officer of the law, in Bouchard's position and standing in the community, making statements to a newspaper that promotes fear of the mentally ill, and incites hateful comments by the readers of said newspaper is minor. I believe a public apology is in order, after he spends some time learning about mental illness and the stigma surrounding it.   
The stigma surrounding mental illness is unjust and undeserved, and needs to end. Mr. Bouchard's comments have undone what many are trying to accomplish - ending the stigma. For a couple examples, one only needs to read a very recent article by Glenn Close Mental Illness: The Stigma of Silence as well as BringChange2Mind.org
As far as feeling something was left out, how much should be added? Should Warren Culver's condition in the weeks before the killing be added? Should the fact that he was found not guilty by reason on insanity in a court of law be added? Should it be added that the court has made the decisions concerning his  treatment over the past 11 years, as well as allowing him to now live unsupervised, and that he is still under court orders? 
Feel free to add what you feel is missing.

message: Dodge Challenger is obsessed with this noncontroversy. If this editor could demonstrate someone else offended besides himself and the one person quoted, he/she might have an actual controversy, but he does not. This is not worth putting in a stub, or frankly in any article.
Also, if you look at this editor's other edits, you'll see he/she has added other negative information about another Michigan gubernatorial candidate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtndo (talk • contribs) 00:30, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The Education and Awards sections are entirely unreferenced and mostly non notable in their content they do not belong in an encyclopedia article. Theroadislong (talk) 13:46, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

message: On the Oakland County staff page, unlike the other leadership team, shows Bouchard with a chest of ribbons.  Are they police and military ribbons?  Could someone document what they are?  (As done for other military and law enforcement personnel, especially unfamiliar with a country's awards; See London Metropolitan's Cressida Dick, Australia's Katarina Carroll, Toronto's Mark Saunders, and US soldier Colin Powell.)
