Talk:Bill Shuster

message: "That is why I supported the "student and Teacher Safety Act." This legislation would allow teachers to conduct the reasonable search of any minor student if they suspect a student may possess a weapon, dangerous material of illegal narcotics."
This quote, is both no longer available, but for some reason, the wayback machine's cache of the page is gone too. This needs to be removed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.27.97 (talk) 17:42, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

The page seems like it is being edited by folks who want to promote Shuster, and then edited by people who want to discredit him. A few examples below:
* Peacock language is used to describe his opponent: "The 2014 election brings the greatest challenge that Shuster has ever faced as proven conservative Art Halvorson is also seeking the Republican nomination." Who says it is the greatest challenge? If a journalist has says that, then write something like, "Journalist Smith of ABC News said that.."
* Weasel wording about Shuster's support: "It is apparent that Shuster does not have Conservative support within the 9th district." Apparent to whom? 
* Peacock language to describe Shuster. "Shuster recognizes America as a nation of immigrants and he does not support amnesty for illegal aliens." This should be flushed out with specifics, such as "Shuster has cosponsored xyz bills" or something such as that.
Politicians' Wikipedia pages can be misused by the politicians supporters (or, staff...) and also by people who don't like the politician (the opposing campaign's staff...). Let's clean this up and make it an article worthy of an encyclopedia.
Thanks

replies: text: For what it's worth, I absolutely agree with you that there are multiple serious issues here. I removed the worst content and wrote to the IP to suggest the use of citations, and reverted it again when s/he tried a simple copy/paste instead of fixing anything. I have no connection to Shuster and no real interest in him beyond him having a solid, neutral page (as a matter of general Wikipedia quality). I just don't have much time to work on it myself. (Is there a list somewhere of the templates you used to point out text that needed improvements? Those seem like they are really useful...). Thanks! HistoricMN44 (talk) 17:46, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

text: This page is an absolute embarrassment- wikipedia needs to be notified. Bill Shuster is on record denying that his office was lobbied by the firm of the transportation lobbyist he was having an affair with. He was heading the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee while the group she worked for was lobbying heavily for a major bill overhauling the Federal Aviation Administration. This is sad and disillusioning.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.61.234.128 (talk • contribs) 07:18, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
