message: From the article: In a poll of Congressional aides, she was voted highest out of all Representatives on a list of who Looks Good in a Bathing Suit.
:I know it's cited, but this is a rather silly (and sexist) factoid. Any objection to just removing it? Jonathunder 19:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Factoid 

message: The article is inconsistent with regards to Congresswoman Bono's voting record. In the forth paragraph she is described as having a moderate to liberal voting record, while in the fifth paragraph she is described as voting conservatively. These two contradictory paragraphs should be reconciled. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.105.85.18 (talk) 20:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Voter Record Inconsistency  

message: This comment "Mary Bono has a moderate-to-liberal voting record, which is somewhat surprising given that she represents one of the most Republican districts in California." is really not true.  The district only leans Republican slightly.  According to the 45th District Webpage the district voted for Bush 56% and has an partisan index of +3.  Much lower then the other districts surrounding it.  So in reality she is a moderate Republican in a district that leans slightly Republican.  -Leahcim506
Not that I much care, I just stumbled across this page in the course of some casual research, but this whole pages seems more than a bit biased.  Most of the article reads as a poorly veiled accusation of vague corruption.  I don't know if articles about other US Reps are this shoddy, but it seems like this one needs some work.  --128.186.236.226 23:16, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: District Comment

message: An editor changed to to say that the subject's "real name" is actually "Mary Whitaker Bono McGillicuddy". There was no source for this change, so I reverted it.   Will Beback  talk   21:52, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: This is actually a question worth considering. Her husband's name is McGillicuddy, so it makes sense that this would be her legal name. He chooses to go by Mack. Certainly his right, as it is hers to be Bono Mack. But he's legally McGillicuddy, not having chosen to change it. Do we have any reason to believe that, on deciding to adopt his last name in describing herself, Ms. Bono Mack adopted her husband's nickname as her legal name? Would it not be odd for her to adopt a different legal name than her husband in an effort to mark their married state? (FEC records list her as Bono Mack just as they do him as Mack, so that doesn't seem dispositive.) I've no brief for either name. I certainly reject the idea that any name other than the one Ms. Bono Mack prefers is real. But there is a question about what her legal name is and it might be worth getting a definitive answer.

replies: text: The only sources we have are for "Mack". If we have sources that give another name we can use those. But I don't think we can just decide that her legal name is "Mary Whitaker Bono McGillicuddy" based on our own calculations.   Will Beback  talk   22:33, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: "Real name"

message: So, is Wikipedia the on-line version of the National Enquirer? Seems so with the repetition of the stories about a woman "licking" Mack's breast and cleavage. (No less than 4 "WP:RS" provide verification.) Deep into the cleavage is one description. And the other woman is a political donor, so that must be mentioned. And the stories quoted say "Lesbian" -- ah, yes, the congresswoman is now a lesbian. And this occurred 4 years ago -- at last we know she has been in the closet for all these years.  And this was in a public function, e.g., a party where people were taking photos, so she has no shame.  And Mack is the one who was doing the deed, not Blixseth -- woops, not so fast, we do not see Mack's face and one might wonder about the magic of Adobe Photoshop.  Well, with these concerns in mind, I ask WP editors -- is this noteworthy information for the article?  If not, split it out! --S. Rich (talk) 05:15, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This does not seem to have lasting notability. The subject has issued a denial. The photo is not self-evident. Unless there's more substantial coverage of this, I suggest we delete it.   Will Beback  talk   10:59, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  I have seen the photos, read the coverage and I do not believe this event is notable enough to include in this article.  (PS, I am a California Democrat) DFS (talk) 20:59, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Lickity Split

message: I don't think she intends to be known, professionally or otherwise, as Mary Bono Mack for the rest of her life. She has had two husbands since Sonny Bono died, and I saw more references to Mary B. Mack than anything else. Quis separabit? 17:38, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I just overhauled this article, and it needed it. It was disorganized and contained a bunch of material that was either unsourced or was supported by non-secondary sources. There was also some promotional-sounding material from Bono's own websites. Hard to know how that stuff got in here and why nobody caught it. The article still needs more and better sources. It would benefit from more info on Bono's congressional career. 24.29.56.240 (talk) 17:05, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
