:Appears to be. I'll add it to the article. Thank you. :) --Kuzaar-T-C- 12:59, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

message: It's all well and good that this fellow has an article, but the tone of it needs to be seriously cleaned up. It reads like an advertisement or a campaign statement. Remember in editing the article to keep it encyclopedic. --Kuzaar-T-C- 16:54, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Note that this is not supposd to be a biography about a member of congress, it is an encyclopedic article detailing what it is that makes him notable and other interesting facts. Including information about his voting record, etc., except in the broadest sense, is inappropriate. I note that administrators have protected this page due to politically influenced wrangling, and I agree with their decision. You did a fair job of bringing the article to NPOV, but in retrospect I think that controversy is appropriate to mention in the article of a controversial politician. --Kuzaar-T-C- 17:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Unprotecting

message: I would just like to note that I added this only after seeing the internet hype surrounding it and, while it does have a potential amusement quality (let's be realistic here), I did not add it to subject everyone to silly humor, and definitely not with malicious intent.  If you don't believe the hype, feel free to Google anything related to "congressman picks nose" and look at all the specifically related links it generates.  Again, I'm not trying to be funny or mean-spirited, and I'm up for debate on the matter.    Aceholiday 07:14, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This does not look like Chabot, and Chabot does not sit on the Democrat side of the aisle.  I added a dubious tag until the credibility is established. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mfields1 (talk • contribs) 19:50, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Edits that reference the camera ban that happened at a town hall meeting have been removed citing they were vandalism. I believe my edit adhered to current policies by being properly sourced and neutral in tone. I would have included it in an existing section since but a relevant section did not exist. Is there any reason my edit should not be reinstated, possibly with less emphasis by not being a separate section? - Crazyredwizard (talk) 12:48, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have a problem with including it, but it needs to have a reliable source backing it up. Since Wikipedia policy prohibits using "original research" the YouTube link doesn't cut it. Try checking the local newspaper to see if they covered the incident -- that would be a much better source. Arbor8 (talk) 18:23, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I have added the information back but did not make it a separate section this time. Neither of the sources are links to YouTube though they do include the YouTube videos in addition to the original research that provided information about the response from Chabot's representative.

replies: text: First and foremost, I'm no shill as previously stated in the edit comments, as a matter of fact I do not live in this Congressman's district nor am I connected.  Anyways, the town hall incident bares no significance to the Congressman's tenure - I understand that people are upset at what took place and they want to get the word out, but the decision to ban cameras has been in effect for several town hall meetings and was not at the request of the Congressman. The decision was made by the Congressman's staff and therefore belongs on their biography. For additional guidance on this subject, there have been dozens of incidents at other congressional town halls during the last 2-3 years - on both sides of the isle - and none of these incidents have been documented in Wikipedia biographies because they are irrelevant to tenure.  Check the bios for Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, Paul Ryan - all had significant issues at recent town halls and there is nothing about the incidents in their bios. Even more interesting, since his last town hall incident was politicized, Harry Reid hasn't conducted a 'live' town hall meeting, resorting to telephone town halls - is that in his biography? In conclusion, including the camera incident on Congressman Steve Chabot's biography is purely political and negates the neutrality of Wikipedia standards.

replies: text: Are you suggesting that the policies and restrictions at Rep. Chabot's town hall meetings do not belong on Rep. Chabot's Wiki article? I think you're reaching a bit, there. Additionally, whether other incidents have happened at other Members' events is immaterial to whether this particular section belongs in this particular article. SeE WP:OTHERSTUFF.
