thread_title:  Persistent Vandalism and defwarn of Chad Smith Article by Johnc1 and www.cornsilks.com sockpuppets 

message: NO information supports the claim of Chad having two wives.  He has a wife and an ex-wife.--BradPatrick 19:07, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Allegations of two wives

message: Steady economic growth from the casinos. The casinos have been nothing but a boon. Everybody put on a happy face about it. It's not like the casinos play havoc with the job market, attract crime, or reduce our heritage to being little more than a tourist trap designed to fleece unsuspecting travelers. Not a word of how this man's policies have negatively affected the tribe at all. So much for NPOV on this article. I'd edit it, but it'd probably end up being filled with a political diatribe on Smith's policies toward the descendants of slaves, the lack of understanding of the basic concept of citizenship, not to mention the elitism and exclusivity of the current council. If there's someone who is unbiased and cares to make the article look less like it was written by a PR rep and more like an NPOV article, please do so. I'm too hotheaded to make that change myself. 24.254.163.150 (talk) 21:48, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Oh yes, praise be to the casinos 

message: This article is a factual and grammatical disaster. It is by far the worst written and formatted article that I have encountered on Wikipedia. How are the many outside links allowed and clearly partisan viewpoints allowed to stand? Uyvsdi (talk)Uyvsdi  —Preceding undated comment was added at 07:38, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where are the WikiEditors? 

message: In part, his education is listed as "Juris Doctorate from the University of Tulsa." In fact, the degree is titled Juris Doctor, not Juris Doctorate, and it is NOT a doctorate, nor is the holder of such degree entitled to use the honorific title of "Dr" before their name.

replies: text: A :Juris Doctor degree is in fact a professional doctorate, although as you say a Juris Doctor who calls him/herself "Dr." is regarded as rather over-the-top; I've corrected the item in the article. --Orange Mike  |  Talk 21:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: A holder of a J.D. can put the title Dr in front of the their name.  That is a fact.  However, the vast majority of holders of J.D. choose not to.  But note that many holders of J.D. who are law professors or who are administrators of law schools or work in other areas of academia do put the honorific title Dr. before their name.  I agree with Orange Mike's edits though.76.31.116.153 (talk) 16:42, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Education 

message: I reverted Uyvsdi's good faith edit where Uyvsdi stated that Smith has lost re-election and that Baker won.  The election is still under review by the Cherokee Nation Supreme Court and there is a hand recount of the votes scheduled for 16 July 2011, which will be personally supervised by the Supreme Court justices themselves. Please do not edit the article to indicate that either Smith lost or Baker won because the truth is that we just don't know who won yet until the whole process is finished.76.31.116.153 (talk) 16:42, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I haven't edited this article in almost two weeks, since it's a similar situation to the most recent Kiowa tribal election. I issued the warning on your talk page based on your restoration of this clever addition to the article: "Smith was caught trying to cheat Bill John Baker in the 2011 Cherokee chief elections. He lost the recount & now must hang his head in great shame." Luckily the administrators agreed to semi-protect the page for the time being.  -Uyvsdi (talk) 17:46, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Just for the record I did put that comment back in just because I did not see it.  It was added by someone else.  If I had seen it I would have removed it also.  It is obviously a stupid commentary--with no value.  As I stated before, let's just leave the article alone right now until there is a complete and total resolution of the election--which might be on the 16th of July or it might not be.76.31.116.153 (talk) 22:22, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The change says: "Chad “Corntassel” Smith is currently serving his third four-year term as Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation".
Chad Smith is NOT the current Chief. Bill John Baker was elected Chief in 2011. He held the office for 8 years. The current Principal Chief is Chuck Hoskin, Jr. He was elected in 2019.
I do not want to make this change because I know all three of these people. other editors have said this would be a potential conflict of interest for me to change something about someone I personally know.
